objective: dna markers are one of the most important indicators for estimating molecular weight of dna samples, although it used in widespread medical and research laboratories. these markers are very divers and have been prepared in different manners and from different sources of dna. but unfortunately, dna markers haven't been made in our country and all of the markers that we use are made in...

deep-seated fungal infection present with non specific symptoms and involove a large number of different organisms. dna-based technology offers for eariler detection of fungal pathogens and then earlier initiation of antifungal therapy. in this study universal primers common to almost all fungi were used to amplification of internal transcribe spacer 1 and 2 region. subsequent restriction enzym...

background: varicella zoster virus (vzv) causes chickenpox in children and zoster (zona) in the elderly. using rflp-pcr method for detection of vzv specific snps orf38, 54 and 62 could  distinguish the profile of vzv isolates. the aim of this study was to investigate enzymatic digestion pattern of vzv orf38 and orf54 in chickenpox patients using rflp technique. methods: thirty-eight chickenpox ...

Restriction Site Mapping is one of the interesting tasks in Computational Biology. A DNA strand can be thought of as a string on the letters A, T, C, and G. When a particular restriction enzyme is added to a DNA solution, the DNA is cut at particular restriction sites. The goal of the restriction site mapping is to determine the location of every site for a given enzyme. In partial digest metho...

DNA size markers are widely used to estimate the size of DNA samples on agarose or polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis (PAGE). DNA markers can be prepared by mixing PCR products with definite sizes.Alternatively, they are prepared by restriction enzyme digestion of the genomic DNA of bacteriophages ornatural and synthetic DNA plasmids. The present study describes engineering of ...

A critical and difficult part of characterizing restriction enzymes and methylases is the identification of recognition sequences. To simplify this process, we have developed a plasmid transformation method along with a computer program named RM search that determines the exact recognition sequences for given restriction and modifica-

An attempt has been made to analyze the distribution of the beta-lactoglobulin genotype in swamp buffaloes and Murrah buffaloes utilizing polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). Blood samples were taken from 50 swamp buffaloes and 50 Murrah buffaloes. The DNA was extracted by the phenol-chloroform method. The PCR-RFLP was performed using beta-lactoglobulin ...
