Background: Among wide range of bio-conservational strategies envisaged, recent accomplishments in the field of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) holds considerable promise due to its unique potential to decelerate or prevent rapid loss of animal genetic resources, and even to revive extinct species. This study was undertaken to investigate whether domestic sheep in vitro matured and enuclea...

Although controversy surrounds cloning efforts, the cloning of animals to assist efforts to preserve genetic variation in support of endangered species conservation efforts has attracted serious interest. A recent report by Loi et al. describing the cloning of a mouflon (a species of wild sheep) in a domestic sheep surrogate points to potential conservation opportunities and additional challeng...

Conservation tillage (CT) systems have a number of potential benefits including lower crop production costs and the ability to reduce soil erosion that have made them common in several regions of the world. Although CT systems have been researched and successfully implemented on some farms in California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV), overall adoption is low and the reasons for the region's compara...

chicken anemia virus was detected by pcr in tissue samples collected from poultry flocks in gujarat,india. the vp1, vp2 and vp3 gene sequences of cav from anand, gujarat were obtained after cloning thepcr products in pdrive cloning vector. nucleotide sequence alignment with other cav sequencesdemonstrated overall identity of 95-98.8%, 98.8-99.8% and 98.8-100% for vp1, vp2 and vp3 regions,respec...

Chicken anemia virus was detected by PCR in tissue samples collected from poultry flocks in Gujarat,India. The VP1, VP2 and VP3 gene sequences of CAV from Anand, Gujarat were obtained after cloning thePCR products in pDrive cloning vector. Nucleotide sequence alignment with other CAV sequencesdemonstrated overall identity of 95-98.8%, 98.8-99.8% and 98.8-100% for VP1, VP2 and VP3 regions,respec...

There are many ways to isolate a DNA fragment containing a specific gene. The methods vary depending on the organism and the genetic and recombinant DNA technology available for working with that particular organism. Moreover, the approach chosen will vary depending on several other factors. These include the phenotype of strains carrying the mutant allele, whether the mutation is dominant or r...

In this letter, we show the impossibility of the general operation introduced by Pati using two different but consistent principles (i) no-signalling (ii) conservation of entanglement under LOCC. Further, we define Hadamard operation for an arbitrary qubit and show its impossibility with the aid of the above two principles. The rules of quantum mechanics makes certain processes impossible. Neit...
