the anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 is located in mitochondria, but it is uncertain whether its expression affects hepatocyte survival in ischemia/reperfusion (i/r) injury. this experiment was designed to evaluate the role of folic acid in expression of bcl-2 in i/r in rat liver. eighteen wister rats were divided into sham-operated controlgroup (c) (n=6), i/r group (n=6), folic acid treated group whi...

background: serological assay based on dense granular (gra) proteins of toxoplasma gondii (t. gondii) is actually the most popular laboratory diagnostic tool to detection of toxoplasmosis. we aimed to construct a recombinant gra7-ptz57rt plasmid vectors that it is suitable for sub-cloning and gra7 protein production. m aterials and methods: souris mice were used for maintaining of t. gondii tac...

In many scienti c and commercial applications such as Earth Observation System (EOSDIS) and mobile phone services tracking a large number of clients, it is a daunting task to archive and index ever increasing volume of complex data that are continuously added to databases. To eÆciently manage multidimensional data in scienti c and data warehousing environments, R-tree based index structures hav...

Interspecific complementation of an Escherichia coli recA mutant with plasmids containing a gene bank of Rhizobium meliloti DNA was used to identify a clone which contains the recA gene of R. meliloti. The R. meliloti recA protein can function in recombination and in response to DNA damage when expressed in an E. coli recA host, and hybridization studies have shown that DNA sequence homology ex...

Background: In plant breeding program to produce hybrid varieties, pair of male sterile and restorer fertility lines are required. Differentiation of lines possessing restorer fertility allele from the lines lacking it remove the need for the progeny test, and thus reducing the time and the cost in the hybrid production procedure. Canola breeding program in Iran has concentrate...

Background: A recent bioinformatics technique involves changing nucleotide sequences into 2D speckles. This produces speckles called GB-speckles (Gene Based speckles). All classical strategies of speckle-optics, namely speckle-interferometry, subtraction speckle-images as well speckle-correlometry have been inferred for processing GB-speckles. indicates the considera...

A DNA fragment carrying the genes coding for a novel EcoT38I restriction endonuclease (R.EcoT38I) and EcoT38I methyltransferase (M.EcoT38I), which recognize G(A/G)GC(C/T)C, was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of Escherichia coli TH38. The endonuclease and methyltransferase genes were in a head-to-head orientation and were separated by a 330-nucleotide intergenic region. A third gene, the C.EcoT...
