Three controlled crosses were carried out involving Mentha arvensis and Mentha spicata [M. spicata CIMAP/C30 x M. spicata CIMAP/C33 (cv. Neera); M. arvensis CIMAP/C18 x CIMAP/C17 (cv. Kalka); and M. arvensis CIMAP/C17 x M. spicata CIMAP/C33]. The parents were subjected to random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis with 80 primers, and polymorphic primers were tested for detecting coinheri...

We previously reported (T. Enomoto et al., Cancer Res., 50: 6139-6145, 1990; T. Enomoto et al., Cancer Res., 51: 5308-5314, 1991) a significant frequency of activating point mutations in codon 12 of the c-K-ras-2 protooncogene in endometrial adenocarcinoma and its premalignant precursor lesions (series 1 and 2). To reveal the role of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in the development of endometri...

the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) as applied to detection of a foreign dna in clinical specimens could provide a sensitive instrument for rapid detection of viral dna persisting in tissues of patients suspected of latent infection. human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) dna was found in arterial plaques of patients with atherosclerotic lesions using a pcr assay with nested primer oligonucleotides deriv...

This study was conducted to investigate the association between polymorphism of FASN gene with fatty acid content in Awassi sheep. A total 100 male sheep ages one and two a half years old were used this study. Phenotypic measurement recorded at slaughter, from each animal, longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle samples taken analyze profile. Genotyping, sequencing reactions, silico tools performed confi...

Drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum parasites is associated with the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) exo-E415G, which considered as a marker to reduce susceptibility artimisinin and leads treatment failure. This study aims establish procedure based on tetra-primer ARMS PCR technique detect SNP exo-E415G malaria patients who experienced failure artemisinin. DNA sample from P. 3D7 isola...

The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, is of high commercial importance as a silk producer and is also widely used for implementation of basic and applied research. It is important to understand its genome organization using molecular markers for genetic studies and for breeding purposes. In this study, a genetic linkage map using 204 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers was d...

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are very effective molecular markers in population genetics, genome mapping, taxonomic study and other large-scale studies. Variation in number of tandem repeats within microsatellite refers to simple sequence length polymorphism (SSLP); but there are a few studies that are showed SSRs replication slippage may be occurred during in vitro amplifi...

The sources of variance and errors in transcriptomics based on the electrophoretic separation of amplified cDNA fragments were investigated using cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). Transcriptome profiles of the plant-pathogenic fungus Verticillium longisporum were generated by a standard cDNA-AFLP protocol followed by electrophoretic separation of amplified DNA fragments in fla...

This study aimed to reveal the genetic and epigenetic variations involved in a resynthesized Brassica napus (AACC) generated from a hybridization between a B. rapa (AA) landrace and B. alboglabra (CC). Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism, and the cDNA-AFLP technique were performed to detect changes between different generations at the geno...

Interand intraspecific variation among 26 isolates of ectomycorrhizal fungi belonging to 8 genera and 19 species were evaluated by analysis of the internal transcribed sequence (ITS) of the rDNA region using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The ITS region was first amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific primers and then cleaved with different restriction enzy...
