Decoquinate has single-digit nanomolar activity against in vitro blood stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites, the causative agent of human malaria. In vitro evolution of decoquinate-resistant parasites and subsequent comparative genomic analysis to the drug-sensitive parental strain revealed resistance was conferred by two nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene encoding cytoc...

Material suspected of originating from species of Rhinoceros is frequently seized by forensic organizations investigating trade in endangered species. At present identification of the species is possible by DNA sequencing of the material, such as powdered rhinoceros horns. The unambiguous identification of rhino products using a 402 bp fragment of cytochrome b gene was investigated. This DNA se...

Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s, CYPs) are a superfamily of heme–thiolate proteins involved in the metabolism endogenous and exogenous substances insects. In this study, identification putative was done elimination repeated sequences resulted 57 from Gastropacha populifolia , 63 Dendrolimus punctatus 53 tabulaeformis . The were aligned together with seven other insect species based on five conse...

Hemiculter leucisclus , as a widely distributed freshwater fish in China, provides an interesting model to explore the impact of drainage evolution and geologic history Pleistocene on diversification patterns. We collected mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene recombination activating 2 (RAG2) from 1,070 individuals 59 sampling locations. Phylogenetic population genetic approaches were used de...

Gelatin is a hydrocolloid widely used in food products, especially soft candy. It contains essential amino acids - except tryptophan which easily digested, not toxic, can form flexible and robust film layer to produce the right product. However, as Muslim, it must ensure that what consumed halal, from bovine gelatin. The purpose of this study was identify gelatin candy products using specific p...

cattle have an important role in primary human civilization, so molecular studies for more accurate recognition of their origin are effective to identify unknown historical aspects. cattle can be divided in to 2 main groups including bos tuarus and bos indicus. both types of cattle can be found in iran; therefore study of their origin has particular importance. the aim of this study was to inve...

Persian gazelle, Gazella subgutturosa, exists throughout arid and semiarid regions of Iran and has a key role in these frail ecosystems. Habitat degradation and population decline has placed it on the list of vulnerable species in 2008. The phylogenetic relationships of three Persian gazelle populations in the central part of Iran (i.e. Ghamishlou National Park and Wildlife Refuge, Mouteh Wildl...

An integrative taxonomic analysis of species in the colubrid genus Lycodon Fitzinger, 1826 recovered two new syntopic L. rufozonatus complex from imperiled Song Giang River valley Khan Hoa Province, Southern Vietnam. Although truongi sp. nov. and anakradaya are syntopic, they not particularly closely related can be differentiated each other all on basis meristics, morphometrics, color pattern, ...

In spite of the potential richness in biodiversity, Manipur is still one least explored areas northeastern India. this work, we report on our finding four pit viper species, namely, Trimeresurus mayaae, T. salazar, erythrurus, and Protobothrops jerdonii during herpetological surveys 2022. We affirm identity these specimens based combination standard morphological characters mitochondrial cytoch...

The qcr of Bacillus stearothermophilus K1041 encoding three subunits of the quinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (cytochrome reductase, b6c1 complex) was cloned and sequenced. The gene (qcrA) for a Rieske FeS protein of 19,144 Da with 169 amino acid residues, and the gene (qcrC) for cytochrome c1 of 27,342 Da with 250 amino acid residues were found at adjacent upstream and downstream sides of the...
