Development of Microsatellites: A Powerful Genetic Marker

Application of Genetic Programming as a Powerful Tool for Modeling of Cellulose Acetate Membrane Preparation

Investigation of a Powerful Tool for the Development of Thinly Bedded Carbonate Reservoirs (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In thin-layered reservoirs, drilling engineers face tough challenges—planning their drilling programs to follow the most productive reservoir layers while avoiding nearby water, gas or high-pressure zones. The rewards for a successful drilling strategy are clear—increased oil production and reduced water cut. In an oil field in the Persian Gulf, for example, oil production was increased four- t...

Genome-Wide Distribution and Organization of Microsatellites in Plants: An Insight into Marker Development in Brachypodium

Plant genomes are complex and contain large amounts of repetitive DNA including microsatellites that are distributed across entire genomes. Whole genome sequences of several monocot and dicot plants that are available in the public domain provide an opportunity to study the origin, distribution and evolution of microsatellites, and also facilitate the development of new molecular markers. In th...

A Review of Microsatellite Marker Usage in the Assessment of Genetic Diversity of Camelus

Camels have been regarded as the desert ship and they play multi-utility role in the world. Estimation of genetic parameters is foremost step towards managing the genetic resources for their conservation and sustainable utilization. Microsatellite markers have been extensively used in cattle, sheep, goat and camels. However, genetic characterization studies on camels has been poorly recorded. T...

Genetic instability of microsatellites in endometrial carcinoma.

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is characterized by a familial predisposition to colorectal carcinoma and extracolonic cancers of the gastrointestinal, urological, and female reproductive tracts, notably the endometrium. A genetic locus for HPNCC was recently determined by linkage analysis to exist on chromosome 2p; both sporadic and HNPCC-associated colorectal carcinomas exhi...
