Common kilka Clupeonella cultriventris (Nordmann, 1840) is a brackish water and small pelagic fish species and is one of the most abundant fishes that live gregariously in the Caspian Sea. A total of 60 specimens of adult common kilka were sampled from two seasons. Fifteen pairs of microsatellites previously developed for A.sapidissima, C. pallasi, C.harengus, and S. pilchardus were tested for ...

Population genetic structure of stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) in 197 adult specimens from four fishery regions along the Iranian coastline of the southern Caspian Sea was investigated using microsatellite markers. Out of 15 microsatellite primers, 11 loci were produced, in which 10 of them were polymorphic and 1 was monomorph. Totally, 184 alleles were identified and on average 13.1 a...

Nuclear markers such as microsatellites have allowed the identification of conservation and management populations of the Hawksbill turtles. In present study, eight microsatellite loci were studied. 60 samples of hawksbill turtles. flipper from Shidvar and Hormuz Islands have been surgically removed and preserved in 20% DMSO buffer. DNA was extracted using DNP KIT and amplified by PCR methods. ...

We report on a newborn with IUGR, rhizomelic dwarfism, and suspected chondrodysplasia punctata. At birth, OI was suspected; however, a skeletal survey suggested ML II alpha/beta. Sequencing revealed compound heterozygosity for a reported pathogenic and novel but expected pathogenic GNPTAB variant. Molecular testing for autosomal recessive OI identified a SERPINF1 variant.

objective: classic cell culture and karyotyping is routinely used for prenatal detection of different chromosomal abnormalities. molecular cytogenetic techniques have also recently been developed and used for this purpose. quantitative florescence pcr using short tandem repeat (str) markers has more potential for high throughput diagnosis. marker heterozygosity in short tandem repeats (str) is ...

mahi sefid (cyprinidae) is an economically important fish in the south caspian sea. specimens was collected from the lamir river, sefid rud, shir rud and tajan rivers and analyzed at 38 microsatellite dna loci. eight primers out of the thirty analyzed loci were polymorphic in all sampling regions. the highest observed heterozygosity (1) was in locus ca1 in sefid rud and lowest was 0.07 in locus...

this study was conducted to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphism of stat1 gene by pcr-rflp technique and association of genotypes with milk production traits in brown swiss dairy cattle. the blood samples of ninety eight cows were collected randomly from tail vein. the dna was extracted with cinagene kit (pr881612c). fragment of 314 bp of stat1 gene was amplified by pcr and digested b...

secale montanum is one of the important perennial grasses growingnaturally in arid to semiarid pastures and rangelands, with a typical mediterraneanclimate, in northern and western iran at altitudes of 800-2900 m. in this paper, seedstorage protein profiles of nine wild populations of s. montanum from differentregions of iran and their phenotypically superior progenies as well as a multi-origin...

According to the theory of mate choice based on heterozygosity, mates should choose each other in order to increase the heterozygosity of their offspring. In this study, we tested the 'good genes as heterozygosity' hypothesis of mate choice by documenting the mating patterns of wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) using both major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and microsatellite loci. Specific...
