Karyotypic Study and Chromosome Evolution in Some Iranian Local Onion Populations
Abstract A karyotypic study was performed on 12 Iranian local onion (Allium cepa L.) populations. A number of mitotic cells at metaphase stage for each population were prepared. Chromosomes of suitable mitotic cells were counted and various parameters, including long arm (L), short arm (S), total length of chromosome (TL), relative length of chromosome (RL), arm ratio (AR), r-value, total chro...
متن کاملHealth Sector Evolution Plan in Iran; Equity and Sustainability Concerns
In 2014, a series of reforms, called as the Health Sector Evolution Plan (HSEP), was launched in the health system of Iran in a stepwise process. HSEP was mainly based on the fifth 5-year health development national strategies (2011-2016). It included different interventions to: increase population coverage of basic health insurance, increase quality of care in the Ministry of Health and Medica...
متن کاملGenomic drift and evolution of microsatellite DNAs in human populations.
In recent years, copy number variation (CNV) of DNA segments has become a hot topic in the study of genetic variation, and a large amount of CNVs has been uncovered in human populations. The CNVs involving the smallest units of DNA segments are microsatellite DNAs, and the evolutionary change of microsatellite DNAs is believed to occur mostly by the increase or decrease of one repeat unit at a ...
متن کاملJC virus evolution and its association with human populations.
The ubiquitous human polyomavirus JC (JCV) is a small double-stranded DNA virus that establishes a persistent infection, and it is often transmitted from parents to children. There are at least 14 subtypes of the virus associated with different human populations. Because of its presumed codivergence with humans, JCV has been used as a genetic marker for human evolution and migration. Codivergen...
متن کاملAfrican populations and the evolution of human mitochondrial DNA.
The proposal that all mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) types in contemporary humans stem from a common ancestor present in an African population some 200,000 years ago has attracted much attention. To study this proposal further, two hypervariable segments of mtDNA were sequenced from 189 people of diverse geographic origin, including 121 native Africans. Geographic specificity was observed in that id...
