scid is a lethal genetic autosomal recessive disorder that has been observed in humans, dogs, mice, and horses. affected animals are incapable of generating specific antigens for immune responses needed to protect them from infectious diseases. the frequency of affected recessive allele varies in different regions so that the outcome of normal breeding with carriers of recessive alleles is diff...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a powerful molecular biological tool in the field of toxicity testing and diagnostics. The use of PCR for large-scale genetic testing requires an effective method of sample processing. Unfortunately, isolation of PCR-quality DNA is time-consuming. PCR performed directly on whole blood is preferred because of time efficiency, cost of the procedure, and possible...

To make PCR a specific, efficient and cost effective tool for researchers and clinicians the most important aspect is oligonucleotide primer design. This review discusses various aspects of primer design. Advice is provided for optimal design and the role of bioinformatic tools is highlighted. The authors discuss theoretical considerations and compare computational and experimental studies.

Potato virus Y biberde enfeksiyon oluşturan en yaygın virüslerden bir tanesidir. Bu çalışmada, 23 biber çeşidi ve 30 ıslah hattının PVY-0 PVY-1 patotiplerine karşı reaksiyonları belirlenmiş pvr2 lokusundaki allel genleri mekanik inokulasyon moleküler yöntemler ile belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Her çeşit hatta ait dörder bitki, patotipleri ayrı inokule edilmiştir. İnokule edilen bitkiler, virüs si...

The ancestors of Uruguayan Creole cattle were introduced by the Spanish conquerors in the XVII century, following which the population grew extensively and became semi-feral before the introduction of selected breeds. Today the Uruguayan Creole cattle genetic reserve consists of 575 animals. We used the tetra primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) t...

We developed a mutation-screening protocol for the ASS1 gene in order to guide clinical management of neonates with elevated citrulline detected during routine newborn screening. An exon-based amplification and sequencing method was designed and successfully applied to patients to identify disease-associated mutations. The sequencing-based method was applied to three patients with mild or asymp...
