Ciliates contain two kinds of nuclei: the germline micronucleus (MIC) and somatic macronucleus (MAC) in a single cell. The MAC usually have fragmented chromosomes. These chromosomes, capped with telomeres at both ends, could be gene size to several megabases length among different ciliate species. So far, no telomere-to-telomere assembly entire genome species has been finished. Development thir...

The laboratory mouse is recognized as the pre-eminent model for genetic research. Awareness of chromosomal patterns of experimental animals increases their value for a variety of different fields of study. We aimed to study mitotic chromosome preparations from NIH, C57BL/6 and Razi strains of mice, which are outbred, inbred and partially inbred laboratory mice respectively. Bone marrow cells we...

Three subspecies of Mus musculus have been recognized in Iran so far. The house mouse (genus0T 0T2TMus2T, species0T 0T2TMus musculus2T) are recognized for their highly conserved morphology and chromosomal structure, but some chromosomal characters offer accurate taxonomic markers in this species that has been shown any unambiguous diagnostic morphological traits. Among the chromosomal character...

chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and g banding techniques. the chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...

recent studies on wavelet transform and fractal modeling applied on mammograms for the detection of cancerous tissues indicate that microcalcifications and masses can be utilized for the study of the morphology and diagnosis of cancerous cases. it is shown that the use of fractal modeling, as applied to a given image, can clearly discern cancerous zones from noncancerous areas. in this paper, f...

hyperdiamonds are covalently bonded fullerenes in crystalline forms, more or less related todiamond, and having a significant amount of sp3 carbon atoms. design of severalhypothetical crystal networks was performed by using our original software programscvnet and nano-studio. the topology of the networks is described in terms of the netparameters and several counting polynomials, calculated by ...

background: we investigated the efficacy of a mobile-based  bolus advisor app in comparison with the usual multiple daily  injections (mdis) in diabetic patients. materials and methods: in a nonrandomized, controlled clinical trial, 62 diabetic patients  were selected to receive a 12-week intensive glycemic control by either a mobile-based bolus advisor (app) or mdi in the usual manner.we compa...

A bionic search architecture has been developed to solve the problem of placing VLSI elementsbased on hybridization algorithms a bee colony and swarm chromosomes,which allows you get out "local holes" increases convergence placement algorithm. The initial iterations are implemented by algorithm provide broad overview ofthe area, final chromosome algorithm,which ensures exact localization extrem...
