in order to identify the sex marker in mahisefied, rutilus frisii kutum, samples from 5 male and 5 female fish were collected from the south caspian sea. polymerase chain reaction random amplified polymorphic dna (pcr-rapd) was performed using 124 primer sets. all bands were numbered using 1 and 0 scores corresponding to the presence or absence of bands, respectively and data were analyzed usin...

This study was conducted to determine the location of DNA segment with homology to the rat conserved genomic DNA in human chromosomes. The labeled rat genomic DNA was hybridized with normal human (male) metaphases. The study of 74 metaphases after fluorescence in situ hybridization showed 371 twin-spot signals on human chromosomes. Statistical analysis indicated that the specific accumulation o...

introduction despite the fact that iran is one of the major chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) center of origins, limited information is available regarding chickpea genetic variation and diversity. genetic diversity information is crucial for the choice of proper parents to establish new breeding programs. chickpea germplasm is poor, suggesting the need for gaining enough knowledge of genetic diver...

Mouse cells deficient in the enzyme hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT; EC 2.4.2.8) have been transfected with total human DNA, and cells producing human enzyme were isolated by growth in selective medium. DNA from several such cell lines has been used to generate secondary transfectants that make human HPRT. Blots of the DNA of these secondary cells have been hybridized with total hu...

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is an earth-viewing sensor that flies on the Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra and Aqua satellites, launched in 1999 and 2002, respectively. MODIS scans a swath width of 2330 km that is sufficiently wide to provide nearly complete global coverage every two days from a polar-orbiting, sun-synchronous, platform at an altitude of 705 km. M...

in this study the effect of a methylated derivative of nitrogen mustard (mechloroethamin) on solubilized and reconstituted chromatin was investigated using uvnis spectroscopy, dna and sds gel electrophoresis and densitomeoic scanning techniques, the results indicated that the 210 and 260 nm absorbances of reconstituted chromatin were decreased in a dose-dependent manner after treatment with var...

The recent discovery of non-saturating giant positive magnetoresistance in Td-WTe2 has aroused great interest in this material. We have studied the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of bulk and few-layer Td-WTe2 experimentally and theoretically. Spin-orbit coupling is found to govern the semi-metallic character of Td-WTe2. Its structural link with the metallic 1T form provides a...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Nuclear DNA content (C-value) varies approximately 1000-fold across the angiosperms, and this variation has been reported to have an effect on the quality of AFLP fingerprints. Various methods have been proposed for circumventing the problems associated with small and large genomes. Here we investigate the range of nuclear DNA contents across which the standard AFLP protocol...
