samples from five sturgeon species including persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus), russian sturgeon (a. gueldenstaedti), great sturgeon (huso huso),ship sturgeon (a. nudi-ventris) and stellate sturgeon (a. stellatus) were collected from the south caspian sea. dna was extracted from the fins, eggs and skeleton muscle of the five species. rapd markers were used for identifying different kinds of...

dna methylation is an important biological process involving in human disease such as cancer insomia and diabetes. bisulfite sequencing (bs-seq) with next-generation technology is an accurate method for measuring dna methylation. bs-seq data analysis is a considerable way to recognize methylated cytosines and several tools have been developed to analysis bs-seq such as bs-seeker, b-solana, brat...

in order to perform breeding programs and improve production of native chickens, preserving genetic diversity in different areas of iran is important due to the reduced available population. genome sequencing is considered the most functional approach to determine the phylogeny relation between close populations. the aim of the present study was the evaluation of the phylogeny and genetic nucle...

in this study, aggregation behavior of a water soluble cationic metalloporphyrin, meso-tetrakis (2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-n,n´,n´´-trimethyl ammonium phenyl) porphyrin nickel(ii) [ni(ii)(tf4tmapp)]4+ is investigated in 5 mm aqueous phosphate buffer of ph 7.0 at 25.0 °c and various ionic strengths using optical absorption and resonance light scattering spectroscopic methods. the results suggest that ...

background: tuberculosis (tb) is a major cause of death worldwide. finding an effective vaccine against tb is the best way to control it. several vaccines against this disease have been developed but none are completely protective. the aim of this study was to design and construct a cloning vector containing the mycobacterium tuberculosis (m. tuberculosis) heat shock protein x (hspx). methods: ...

persian gazelle (gazelle subgutturosa) is one of the most important species in the world with its wide distribution in iran the greatest number of this species in iran is associated with the gazelles in sohrain plain in sorkhabad protected region in zanjan province. considering the significance of this species in the region and the fact that no genetic studies have been conducted to determine t...
