The classification of bamboos based on floral morphology and reproductive characters is very hard due to erratic flowering behavior and unusually long reproductive cycle. The application of reliable and effective DNA molecular markers is highly essential to address this problem. In the present investigation, inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers were employed to study phylogenetic relati...

dirofilaria immitis is an important filarial nematode in dogs. in this study, age and sex distribution of this zoonotic nematode among dogs were investigated in northwest of iran in meshkin-shahr city. molecular characteristics of the isolates, based on cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene were compared to the isolates from other areas of the world.blood samples were collected from 91 dogs ...

conclusions in this study, phylogenetic reconstruction of hcv-1 sequences clearly indicated for molecular tracing and ancestral relationships of the hcv genotypes in iran, and showed the likelihood of domestic origin for hcv-1a and various origin for hcv-1b. evidence acquisition the phylogenetic analyses were performed based on the nucleotide sequences of ns5b gene of hcv genotype 1 (hcv-1), wh...

The external and internal genitalia of Lepidoptera have long provided a wealth of taxonomic and phylogenetic characters. However, traditional genitalia preparation techniques destroy both DNA, which is increasingly being used in Lepidoptera phylogenetics and species discrimination, and the scale pattern of the abdomen. In this paper, we describe a procedure for extracting both DNA for sequence ...

Phylogenetic networks are becoming increasingly popular in phylogenetics since they have the ability to describe a wider range of evolutionary events than their tree counterparts. In this paper, we study Markov models on phylogenetic networks and their associated geometry. We restrict our attention to large-cycle networks, networks with a single undirected cycle of length at least four. Using t...

boophilus genus ticks are responsible for transferring some pathogens and reducing production factors in cattle. tropomysin (tpm) protein has actin regulator activity and playing important role in immune and allergic reactions. the main goal is to determine different aspects of phylogenetic, similarity, homology, structure and allergenicity of tpm protein. in prior study, we identified tpm by u...

background: crimean congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) is a member of the bunyaviridae family and nairovirus genus. it has a negative-sense, single stranded rna genome approximately 19.2 kb, containing the small, medium, and large segments. cchfvs are relatively divergent in their genome sequence and grouped in seven distinct clades based on s-segment sequence analysis and six clades based o...

colletotrichum species are associated with citrus plants as pathogens, saprobes and endophytes. according to the most recent multigene phylogenetic analysis, a lot of changes were happened in the taxonomy and species delimitation in the genus colletotrichum. in this investigation, 292 colletotrichum isolates were obtained from leaves, fruits and stems of citrus species at golestan, mazandaran, ...
