mutations in the gjb2 gene are the most common known cause of hereditary congenital hearing loss. rapid genomic dna extraction (rgde) method was used for genomic dna extraction. after amplification of coding region of cx26 gene with specific primers, expected pcr products with 724bp length were subjected to direct sequencing in both directions. we describe here a novel heterozygous -t to -c tra...

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to understand reality. The aim of this study was to determine the relation between FOLH1 and DISC1 genes polymorphism in patients with schizophrenia in Iran. In this study, 50 patients with schizophrenia and 50 healthy controls were evaluated. PCR-RFLP was used for FOLH1 gene and Tetra-ARMS for the DIS...

polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) and phylogenetic analysis were used for molecular identification of lactic acid bacteria (labs) isolated from apis mellifera. eighteen honeybee workers were collected from three different apiaries in west azerbaijan. labs from the gut of honeybees were isolated and cultured using routine biochemical procedures. ge...

We have quantitatively profiled the proteins of vaccinia virus-infected HEK293T cells early and late during vaccinia virus infection. Proteins corresponding to 4,326 accessions were identified, the products of 3,798 genes. One hundred thirty-six of the proteins were vaccinia virus-encoded (∼64% of the known vaccinia virus proteome). The remaining accessions were from the host cell. A total of 3...

To the best of our knowledge, little information is available regarding the presence of Anaplasma species in camels in Iran. This study sought to investigate the presence of Anaplasma species by microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays in 100 healthy dromedaries (Camelus dromedarius) arriving for slaughter. The microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained blood films revealed that Ana...

Herpesviruses possess large DNA genomes which contain from approximately 80 to 200 genes. These viral genes are divided into two groups based on whether they are essential or nonessential (dispensable) for virus growth in cell culture: the essential gene products include a set of replication proteins which accomplish the viral DNA replication, while the dispensable gene products include those i...

To identify Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes required for the proper timing of cell cycle transitions, we previously reported a systematic examination of the DNA content of homozygous diploid deletion strains. However, deletion strains with complex DNA content profiles were not examined in that study. Here, we report S. cerevisiae genes that when deleted give rise to DNA content profiles consiste...
