The Han nationality is an ancient and populous people, different places in China may have their distinct group relationships. Luzhou area, as a crossroads of several provinces Southwest China, lacks autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) research population genetics research. In this study, 21 STR loci were evaluated 1959 Han-Chinese individuals from area. There was no substantial linkage disequil...

in order to study of genetic diversity and similarity among four native olive cultivars including ‘mari’, ‘zard’, ‘shengeh’ and ‘rowghani’, these cultivars were evaluated in five regions including ali abad, gilvan, tarom, manjil and jamal abad at 2012-2013. there was a significant difference among studied individuals. the correlation coefficient analysis among studied traits showed that there w...

Background & Aims: In recent years, molecular methods for characterizing genetic heterogeneity have found a major place in modern approaches. In this study, two different molecular techniques including Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and Multi Locus microsatellite typing (MLMT) were carried out in order to evaluate genetic heterogeneity among isolates of Leishmania major in Iran...

background: hearing loss (hl) is the most frequent sensory birth defect in humans. autosomal recessive non-syn­dromic hl (arnshl) is the most common type of hereditary hl. it is extremely heterogeneous and over 70 loci (known as dfnb) have been identified. this study was launched to determine the relative contribution of more frequent loci in a cohort of arnshl families. methods: thirty-seven i...

designing breeding programs for winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars with improved seed and oil yields requires information about the genetic variability of traits. in this study, 28 winter rapeseed cultivars were evaluated for genetic variation and relationships between 11 agro-morphological characters during 2010 and 2011. cultivars and cultivar × year interaction showed significant ...

this study was conducted in order to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of pike-perch in the northern part of iran. for this purpose, 207 adult pike-perches from four regions of the caspian sea watershed (talesh coasts, anzali wetland, chaboksar coasts and aras dam) were collected. dna was extracted and by using 15 pairs of microsatellite primers, polymerase chain reaction (...

combining ability effects were estimated for different agronomic characters in line × tester crossing program comprising 21 hybrids produced by crossing 7 lines and 3 testers. parents and hybrids differed significantly for general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) effects, respectively. the variance due to gca and sca showed that gene action was predominantly additive...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic nephropathy, which is characterized by replacement of renal parenchyma with multiple cysts. In Iran, the disease prevalence within the chronic hemodialysis patient population is approximately 8-10%. So far, three genetic loci have been identified to be responsible for ADPKD. Little information is available concernin...

Introduction: The existence of sexual dimorphism in human skeletons especially skull and its medico-legal importance had long been studied [3] [2,1]. This study has investigated the existence of sexual dimorphism in cranial dimensions of Nigerian population. Methods: A total of 100 adult dry skulls, (78 males, 22 females) free from damage and deformity fully ossified from Departments of Ana...
