Abstract. As an excellent local sheep breed in China, Hu have the characteristics of producing more lambs and good motherhood. The purpose this study was to identify polymorphism mitogen-activated protein kinase 5 (MAP3K5) gene determine whether it associated with body size traits (body height, length, chest circumference, cannon circumference) sheep. MAP3K5 identified by using PCR amplificatio...

Numerous studies are being carried out on polymorphisms within the genes coding for factors VIII and IX due to their clinical relevance in context of hereditary disorders. The quests polymorphism can be used screen haemophilia through an affected family. In Cameroon, very few gene have been conducted. Thus, this study was aimed at detecting HindIII SNP F8 MseI F9 by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Re...

The polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) experiment has the characteristics of low-cost, rapidity, simplicity, convenience, high sensitivity and specificity; thus, many small medium laboratories use it to perform all kinds single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyping works, as a molecular biotechnology for disease-related analysis. However, lack ava...

Background & Aims: To investigate the association of CFI p.Gly119Arg polymorphism with Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, the association of p.Gly119Arg polymorphism in CFI gene was investigated in 65 patients suffering from AMD and150 healthy age, sex and ethnicity matched unrelated people as control group. Both of the case and cont...

The CYP2A6 gene, which codes the enzyme, has known to have ahigh polymorphism. This polymorphism could decrease, increase, or eliminate enzyme activity. CYP2A6*4 , an inactive allele, decreased One of enzyme-specific substrates is nicotine. allele decrease nicotine metabolism that causes high levels in blood. In addition, it caused increasing Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) by expan...

Th e objective of this study was detection of DNA polymorphism of the leptin receptor gene using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Th e SNP T945M, which maps on bovine chromosome 3 at the exon 20 of the leptin receptor sequence and corresponds to a mutation in the intracellular region of the functional protein, was also analyzed. In exon 20, a T ...

A highly efficient, rapid, and reliable PCR-based method for distinguishing Lactococcus lactis subspecies (L. lactis subsp. lactis and L. lactis subsp. cremoris) is described. Primers complementary to positions in the glutamate decarboxylase gene have been constructed. PCR analysis with extracted DNA or with cells of different L. lactis strains resulted in specific fragments. The length polymor...
