in this study, genetic diversity of 30 accessions of the fennel from different cities of iran and other asian and european countries were assessed by using 20 selective aflp primers. totally, from 1127 observed bands, 250 bands were polymorph. e11-m20 primer with 20 bands, also e46-m35 and etg-m20 primers with 8 bands indicated the maximum and minimum numbers of polymorphism, respectively. acco...

Four Saudi Arabian indigenous sheep populations including Najdi, Hbsi, Arb, and Naemi were genotyped for 16 microsatellite markers recommended by the food and agriculture organization (FAO). This study aims to provide information on the genetic structure of the breeds analyzed and give indications and proposals for the cross breeding program. All loci were polymorphic in all populations and loc...

abstract tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus are the most important reasons in mortality all over the world. it’s clear that reviewing of relationship between tuberculosis (tb) and diabetes mellitus (dm) is necessary; on the other hand it’s found that fto gene has the positive relationship with metabolic issues. therefore, it’s necessary pay attention to the above and dangerous sicknesses, espec...

Gohli et al. (2013) report a positive relationship between genetic diversity and promiscuity across passerine birds, and suggest that female promiscuity acts as a form of balancing selection, maintaining differences in genetic variation across species. This is an interesting hypothesis, but the enormous variation in genetic diversity present within species is not taken into account in their ana...

Background & Aim: German chamomile is one of the most important medicinal plants. So, assessment of genetic diversity and relationship among the traits are very essential in chamomile breeding programs. Determination of the best indirect selection criteria for genetic improvement of essence percent and dry flower yield of German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) populations...

What factors determine whether or not a young adult will fall in love? Sociological surveys and psychological studies have shown that non-genetic factors, such as socioeconomic status, external appearance, and personality attributes, are crucial components in romantic relationship formation. Here we demonstrate that genetic variants also contribute to romantic relationship formation. As love-re...

The determination of the relationship between a pair of individuals is a fundamental application of genetics. Previously, we and others have demonstrated that identity-by-descent (IBD) information generated from high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data can greatly improve the power and accuracy of genetic relationship detection. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) marks the final step i...
