Background: DNA microarray is a useful technology that simultaneously assesses the expression of thousands of genes. It can be utilized for the detection of cancer types and cancer biomarkers. This study aimed to predict blood cancer using leukemia gene expression data and a robust ℓ2,p-norm sparsity-based gene selection method. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the microarray ...

  Today, it is nearly 25 years past from investigation of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) which is able to produce Shiga toxins and cause different gastroenteritis. Since incidence of gastroenteritis due to STEC is increasing, it's necessary to develop rapid, specific and accurate procedures like PCR. In this study, we used PCR method to detect and identify STEC in cultures of 55 Escher...

aim: this study is aimed to elicit the possible correlation between breast and colon cancer from molecular prospectiveby analyzing and comparing pathway-based biomarkers.background: breast and colon cancer are known to be frequent causes of morbidity and mortality in men and womenaround the world. there is some evidence that while the incident of breast cancer in young women is high, it is repo...

Background: In acute myeloblastic leukemia, a large number of tumor suppressor genes are silenced through DNA methylation such as CDKN2B & p73. Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) and Dickkopf-3 (DKK-1) are negative regulators of Wnt signaling pathway. In the present study, we evaluated the methylation status of WIF1 and DKK-1 genes in acute myeloblastic leukemia patients. Patients and Methods: ...

conclusions it was the first study that attempted to detect the insertion elements isaba and ic lineages in mdr-ab species isolated from patients with burning in iran. background multidrug resistant strains of acinetobacter baumannii (mdr-ab) have emerged as alarming nosocomial pathogens among patients with burning. objectives the current study aimed to determine the susceptibility of a. bauman...

background breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women around the world so finding new biomarkers for early detection and also study on molecular aspects of breast cancer is valuable. cancer testis genes are a group of genes expressed solely in testis and in a range of human malignancies. objectives in this study we determined the expression of cancer testis genes tsga10, tex101 and od...

Background: The in vivo radiation-induced bystander effects (RIBE) at the developmental, genetic, and epigenetic levels have been well demonstrated using model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana). However, the mechanisms underlying RIBE in plants are not clear, especially lacking a comprehensive knowledge about the genes and biological pathways involved in the RIBE in plants. Materials and...

background: in acute myeloblastic leukemia, a large number of tumor suppressor genes are silenced through dna methylation such as cdkn2b & p73. wnt inhibitory factor 1 (wif1) and dickkopf-3 (dkk-1) are negative regulators of wnt signaling pathway. in the present study, we evaluated the methylation status of wif1 and dkk-1 genes in acute myeloblastic leukemia patients. patients and methods: bloo...

Background and Purpose: Aflatoxins are naturally produced by some species of Aspergillus, such as A. flavus and A. parasiticus. Aflatoxins reportedly have carcinogenic effects on human, poultry, and livestock, and therefore could be linked to severe human illnesses. Aflatoxin biosynthesis pathway involves different clustered genes, including structural, regular, and unassigned genes. The presen...
