The nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of barley yellow dwarf virus, PAV serotype was determined, except for the 5'-terminal base, and its genome organization deduced. The 5,677 nucleotide genome contains five large open reading frames (ORFs). The genes for the coat protein (1) and the putative viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase were identified. The latter shows a striking degree of similar...

background: single nucleotide polymorphism (snps) are considered as one of the underlying causes of male infertility. proper sperm chromatin packaging which involves replacement of histones with protamines has profound effect on male fertility. over 20 snps have been reported for the protamine 1 and 2. materials and methods: the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of two previously ...

background and aims: newcastle disease virus (ndv) is one of the major pathogen in poultry. vaccination is intended to control the disease as an effective solution nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. f gene open reading frame (orf) from ndv is 1650 bp, encoding a protein of 553 amino acids that can induce protective immunity alone. the f glycoprotein on the surf...

Background and Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the possible etiologic factors  in development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this study we aimed to study the  role of HPV in ESCC. Patients and Methods:In this study, 140 cases of ESCC were analyzed for the HPV DNA by  polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using GP5+/GP6+ primers for L1 open reading frame (ORF) to  am...

Plant viruses that contain plus-sensed single-stranded RNA genomes are highly abundant in nature. As the equivalents of large mRNAs, these viral genomes utilize a wide variety of gene expression strategies for the production of their encoded proteins. The potyviruses, which are among the most agriculturally important members in this category, contain a single large open reading frame (ORF) codi...

Human and simian immunodeficiency-associated retroviruses are extraordinarily complex, containing at least five genes, tat, art, sor, R, and 3' orf, in addition to the structural genes gag, pol, and env. Recently, nucleotide sequence analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) and simian immunodeficiency virus SIVMAC revealed the existence of still another open reading frame, termed...

Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) are considered as one of the underlying causes of male infertility. Proper sperm chromatin packaging which involves replacement of histones with protamines has profound effect on male fertility. Over 20 SNPs have been reported for the protamine 1 and 2. MaterialsAndMethods The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of two previously repo...

Abbreviations: GDNF, Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor; GDNFOS, GDNF opposite strand; BDNFOS, BDNF opposite strand; NAT, natural antisense transcripts; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; HD, Huntington’s disease; CON, control; MTG, middle temporal gyrus; EST, expressed sequence tags; UTR, un-translated region of mRNA; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription – quantitative polymerase chain reaction; MGB,...

beta2.7 is the major early transcript produced during human cytomegalovirus infection. This abundantly expressed RNA is polysome associated, but no protein product has ever been detected. In this study, a stable peptide of 24 kDa was produced in vitro from the major open reading frame (ORF), TRL4. Following transient transfection, the intracellular localization was nucleolar and the expression ...
