Foodborne disease is a global threat that can affect all sections of society, both in developed or developing countries . Bacillus cereus Gram-positive bacteria cause food poisoning humans. [2] Real-Time PCR detection method one the molecular marker methods has been widely recognized as fast, reliable, sensitive and specific tool for detecting pathogenic bacteria. In previous studies, optimum c...

Intimal hyperplasia limits the durability of peripheral vascular interventions and is associated with cell proliferation macrophage infiltration. We use an in vivo rat carotid angioplasty model to evaluate inhibition intimal localized siRNA delivery targeting Thrombospondin-2 (TSP2) its impact on (Ki-67) infiltration (CD68). was induced by Fogarty catheter vessel injury common artery 32 rats, w...

Multiple gene knockout systems developed in the thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius are powerful genetic tools. However, plasmid construction typically requires several steps. Alternatively, PCR tailing for high-throughput gene disruption was also developed in S. acidocaldarius, but repeated gene knockout based on PCR tailing has been limited due to lack of a genetic marker...

In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe the prevailing approach for gene manipulations is based on homologous recombination of a PCR product that contains genomic target sequences and a selectable marker. The CRISPR/Cas9 system has recently been implemented in fission yeast, which allows for seamless genome editing without integration of a selection marker or leaving any other genomic 's...

OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility of a PCR based strategy for prenatal diagnosis of Haemophilia-A in Pakistani Families. DESIGN Prospective. SETTING Department of Haematology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi. SUBJECTS Five families with at least one child affected with Haemophilia-A. Each family comprised of father, mother, affected child and fetus when present. MAI...

Genotypes for melatonin receptor type 1A (MTNR1A) and Calpastatin (CAST) were determined by enzymatic digestion of PCR products and Calpain(CAPN) genotype detected by PCR-SSCP method in Iranian Karakul sheep. Blood samples were collected from 100 purebred Karakul sheep. The extraction of genomic DNA was based on guanidinium thiocyanate- silica gel method. PCR amplicons were digested with restri...

Sex identification is a problem in research and conservation. It can often be solved using a DNA test but this is only an option if a sex-specific marker is available. Such markers can be identified using the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique. This is usually a taxonomic method, as it produces a DNA fingerprint of 50-100 PCR bands. However, if male and female AFLP products...

There is a high incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Iran. Non-functionality of some tumor suppressor genes has been reported in esophageal cancer. Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 5 has also been reported in esophageal carcinomas. We assessed loss of heterozygosity along a region of the long arm of chromosome 5 (5q), from 5q23.1 to 5q23.2, by PCR amplifying DNA fr...

Panax ginseng is one of the most valuable medicinal plants in the Orient. The low level of genetic variation has limited the application of molecular markers for cultivar authentication and marker-assisted selection in cultivated ginseng. To exploit DNA polymorphism within ginseng cultivars, ginseng expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were searched against the potential intron polymorphism (PIP) dat...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES DNA molecular weight marker is widely used in molecular biology experiments incurring considerable costs on low-budget settings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Here a PCR-supported procedure is described that uses 10 primer pairs targeting chromosomal DNA from the harmless vaccinal Bacillus anthracis Sterne 34F2 strain as template. A single PCR protocol is used to reproduce a...
