blood samples (291857) from 24 provinces of iran were tested for abo and rh groups. the rh complexes as well as kell, duffy, kidd, lutheran, kp and xg blood groups were tested only on a part of the material from tehran. results show a great deal of heterogeneity for abo and rh groups in various provinces of iran. the calculated gene frequencies are compared with those of other investigations in...

in 1998 international guidelines on principles of ethics in medical genetics and genetic services was edited and provided by the world health organization. these principles are autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficience, proportionality of beneficence and non-malificience, and justice. the world health organization considers the observance of these principles highly important and expects all membe...

background: inversion of the uterus is very uncommon. patients may present with pelvic pain, vaginal discharge, or hemodynamic shock. case: we report a case of 35 years old women (virgin) who was admitted with profuse vaginal bleeding and cramps of uterus. in the vaginal examination at litothomy position a mass of 58 cm in size was protruded from the vagina. at first myomectomy was performed a...

Genetic diversity in natural populations of the bacterium Pseudomonas cepacia was surveyed in 10 enzymes from 70 clones isolated along a landscape gradient. Estimates of genetic diversity, ranging from 0.54 to 0.70, were higher than any previously reported values of which we are aware and were positively correlated with habitat variability. Patterns of bacterial genetic diversity were correlate...

Just how much can, and should we change human nature by genetic engineering? Our response to that hinges on the answers to three further questions: (1) What can we do now? Or more precisely, what are we doing now in the area of human genetic engineering? (2) What will we be able to do? In other words, what technical advances are we likely to achieve over the next five to ten years? (3) What sho...

The dawdling development in genetic improvement of cotton with conventional breeding program is chiefly due to lack of complete knowledge on and precise manipulation of fiber productivity and quality. Naturally available cotton continues to be a resource for the upcoming breeding program, and contemporary technologies to exploit the available natural variation are outlined in this paper for fur...

The United States and the world face serious societal challenges in the areas of food, environment, energy, and health. Historically, advances in plant genetics have provided new knowledge and technologies needed to address these challenges. Plant genetics remains a key component of global food security, peace, and prosperity for the foreseeable future. Millions of lives depend upon the extent ...

Despite the deep sea being the largest habitat on Earth, there are just 77 population genetic studies of invertebrates (115 species) inhabiting non-chemosynthetic ecosystems on the deep-sea floor (below 200 m depth). We review and synthesize the results of these papers. Studies reveal levels of genetic diversity comparable to shallow-water species. Generally, populations at similar depths were ...

The mission of the Genetics Society of America (GSA) is to deepen our understanding of the living world by advancing the field of genetics. A cornerstone of this mission is promoting interaction among geneticists. To foster such connections and collaborations across the field, the GSA brought together seven research communities for The Allied quantitative genetics. In addition to community-spec...
