The beta-casein locus with different allelic forms of A1 and A2 has been reported among many breeds of dairy cattle. These allelic forms produce beta-casein variants of A1 and A2. The bioactive peptide of beta-casomorphin-7 is produced from proteolysis of beta-casein A1 variant. Beta-casomorphin-7 has morphine like activity and results in some diseases including type 1 diabetes mellitus, cardio...

The Great Serpentinite Belt of eastern Australia is a ∼1500 km long dismembered ophiolite assumed to be Cambrian based on studies small (typically <50 m2) exotic meta-igneous inclusions despite contrasting ages (Cambrian—Devonian) and complex P-T histories. To overcome these issues, we studied ∼18 km2 coherent block that provides robust geological context sampling the ophiolite. Zircon U-Pb-Hf-...

New geochemical data were presented for the mafic (basalts and gabbros) ultramafic (dunites, serpentinites pyroxenites) rocks from Mawat ophiolite exposed in Zagros suture zone northeastern Iraq. The mantle section of is composed serpentinized peridotites, harzburgites, dunites, chromitites pyroxenite dykes. crustal layered amphibole-rich gabbros, pegmatitic gabbros as well basalts minor felsic...
