Detection of a short CCR5 messenger RNA isoform in human spermatozoa.

P-121: Cloning and Expression of The Inosine Triphosphate Pyrophosphatase Gene Variant II in E.coli

Background Environmental and cellular inappropriate conditions can cause damages to cells nucleotide poll. Deamination and oxidation damages interfere with cell�s vital reactions. Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA), an evolutionary conserved enzyme, plays a critical role in elimination of non-canonical bases. In human genome, the ITPA gene is located on chromosome 20 short arm and tran...

RNA extraction and leptin receptor mRNA detection in bull ejaculated spermatozoa

Clustering of Short Read Sequences for de novo Transcriptome Assembly

Given the importance of transcriptome analysis in various biological studies and considering thevast amount of whole transcriptome sequencing data, it seems necessary to develop analgorithm to assemble transcriptome data. In this study we propose an algorithm fortranscriptome assembly in the absence of a reference genome. First, the contiguous sequencesare generated using de Bruijn graph with d...

Leptin receptor mRNA expression in Taleshi ram gonads

Leptin is secreted mainly by fat, which is involved in energy metabolism and reproduction. Leptin and itsreceptor (Ob-R) have been detected in human spermatozoa and testis, thus it can be concluded leptin involves in male physiology. The goal of this study was determination of the presence of leptin receptor mRNA in the ram testis, epididymis and spermatozoa by reverse transcription polymerase ...

Partial Cloning and Nucleotide Sequencing of Glutamate Decarboxylase Gene Isoform 65 from Human Brain

Background: Gamma -aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-protein amino acid acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of mammalians. The glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) is responsible for the conversion of L-glutamate to GABA. The human brain has two isoforms of this enzyme, GAD65 and GAD67 that differ in molecular weight, amino acid sequence, antigenicity, cellular location ...
