چکیده
CONTEXT AND CONTENT. Order Artiodactyla, Family Bovidae, Subfamily Bovinae, Tribe Tragelaphini. The genus Tragelaphus contains eight living species (Van Gelder, 1977). The large gap between the western and eastern ranges of T. eurycerus and the isolation of Kenyan populations suggests that there may be several subspecies. However, the nominal subspecies have been described on the basis of characters that have not been shown, so far, to be characters of populations rather than individuals. A critical assessment of the named forms will not be possible until a thorough examination of the available specimens is made (Haltenorth, 1963; Ansell, 1971). The names available for subspecies are as follows:

Comparison of the Lipophosphoglycan 3 Gene of the Lizard and Mammalian Leishmania: A Homology Modeling
Background: Lipophosphoglycan 3 (LPG3) is required for the LPG assembly, a well known virulent molecule. In this study, the LPG3 gene of the lizard and mammalian Leishmania species were cloned and sequenced. A three-dimensional structure (3D) for the target sequence was also predicted by comparative (homology) modeling. Materials and Methods: An optimization PCR amplification was performed o...
متن کاملP-65: Maternal Effect Genes in Mammalian Reproduction
Background: Regulation of gene expression in mammalian embryos is not completely known. Pre-implantation embryos need maternal RNA and proteins synthesized during oogenesis, to regulate development before mater-embryo transition, as the grown oocyte and the 1-cell zygote are transcriptionally silent. There are some oocyte-specific genes called maternal effect genes which may account for this ea...
متن کاملIn silico investigation of lactoferrin protein characterizations for the prediction of anti-microbial properties
Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding multi-functional glycoprotein which has numerous physiological functions such as iron transportation, anti-microbial activity and immune response. In this study, different in silico approaches were exploited to investigate Lf protein properties in a number of mammalian species. Results showed that the iron-binding site, DNA and RNA-binding sites, signal pepti...

Sergentomyia sintoni is the natural vector of Sauroleishmania species of lizards. This sandfly isabundance in and around the burrows of great gerbils. S. sintoni was collected from peridomestic animalshelters, inside and around houses and also from the nearby burrows of the gerbil reservoir hosts,Rhombomys opimus, in several provinces of Iran. Mitochondrial Cytochrome b (Cyt b) of sandflies, wh...
متن کاملI-11: Cryopreservation of Canine Embryos
Background: The assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) such as in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and cryopreservation of gametes have considerably contributed to the development of biomedical sciences in addition to improved breeding in domestic animals and infertility treatment in humans. However, ARTs used in canine species have strictly limited utility when compared with other mammali...
متن کاملO-44: Characterisation of Monotreme CaseinsReveals Lineage Specific Expansion of an AncestralCasein Locus in Mammals
Background: One important reproductive characteristic of Mammals is the production of milk to nurse the neonate. In order to better understand the evolution of milk we have investigated gene expression in milk cells from monotremes which are the most ancient representative of the mammalian lineage. Materials and Methods: Using a milk cell cDNA sequencing approach we characterise milk protein se...
