Background: DNA markers are inevitable tools of human identification in forensic science. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are one category of these markers which is concerned to use especially in the case of degraded DNA because of their short amplicons. Objectives: Detection of highly informative SNPs by the criteria is the essential step to devel...

Nanotechnology provides the ability to engineer the properties of materials by controlling their size, and this has driven research toward a multitude of potential uses for nanomaterials. This study aimed at biosynthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using exopolysaccharides (EPS) of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and the antimicrobial potential of the biosynthesized SNPs agai...

Uncovering DNA sequence variations that correlate with phenotypic changes, e.g., diseases, is the aim of sequence variation studies. Common types sequence variations are Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip).SNPs are the third-generation molecular marker. SNP represents a DNA sequence variant of a single base pair with the minor allele occurring in more than 1% of a given popula...

objective(s): the development of reliable and ecofriendly process for the synthesis of nano-metals is an important aspect in the field of nanotechnology. nano-metals are a special group of materials with broad area of applications. materials and methods: in this study, extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles (snps) performed by use of the gram positive soil streptomycetes. streptomycete...

an important part of plant in vitro techniques is the sterilization of explants and the maintenance of aseptic conditions. ideally, sterilizing materials should be effective on a vast range of microorganisms at low density. nowadays, the use of compounds such as essential oils (eos) and nanoparticles is applicable in microbiology studies. the main objective of this experiment was to study the s...

Introduction: Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) have recently been suggested to increase the antimicrobial properties of soft liner materials. However, their safety remains a matter of debate. This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of Mucopren® soft silicone liner material (Mucopren; Kettenbach, Germany) incorporated in SNPs. Methods: The SNPs with ...
