population of vimba vimba persa was investigated using microsatellite markers originated from two regions along the iranian coastline of southern caspian sea (anzali lagoon and havigh river in gilan province). totally 153 alleles were identified. the highest number of alleles per ca3 loci was 17 and the lowest 3 in z8145 loci with means of 7.6. observed and expected heterozygosity averages were...

In this paper, we show that the likelihood-ratio measure (a) is invariant with respect to dominating sigma-finite measures, (b) satisfies logical consequences which are not satisfied by standard p values, (c) respects frequentist properties, i.e., type I error can be properly controlled, and, under mild regularity conditions, (d) used as an upper bound for posterior probabilities. We also discu...

elements include: “no war”, “peace”, “no conflict”, “harmony”, “living happily”, etc. AE1 = “no war”, AE2 = “peace”, AE3 = “no conflict”, AE4 = “harmony”, AE5 = “living happily”, etc. Partial meaning mapping based on the symbol of peace. Peace = “dove” and “symbol by Gerald Holtom”, “the broken riffle”, Harmony = “many” and, etc. M11 = (“peace”, “dove”), M12 = (“peace”, “symbol by Gerald Holtom...

The generalized nonepistatic selection regime encompasses combinations of multiplicative and neutral viability effects distributed across a set of loci. These subsume, in particular, mixtures of the classical modes of multiplicative and additive fitness evaluations for multilocus traits. Exact analytic conditions for existence and stability of a multilocus Hardy-Weinberg (H-W) polymorphic equil...

This research was designed to analyze the possible associations of Arg389Gly ADRB1 and Trp64Arg ADRB3 polymorphisms in children with obesity. A cross-sectional study included 1,046 school-age Mexican participants (6-12 years old) from the cities of San Luis PotosÍ and León. Children were classified as non-obese or obese according to their body mass index (BMI) percentile; obese children had a B...

In the present study, we evaluated polymorphism of myogenic factor 5, involved in growth and meat quality traits. Based on PCR-SSCP technology, a novel missense substitution SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) g.1142 A > G was identifi ed in the intron1 region of the MyF-5 gene, it causes an amino acid substitution (1142Glutamine/ Glycine1142). Allele frequencies, gene heterozygosity, eff ecti...

An analysis of the polymorphism of 16 genes from Onchocerca volvulus was undertaken, in two populations of worms from either ivermectin-naïve patients or patients who had been repeatedly treated with ivermectin, in Ghana. Six genes were selected for analysis because studies in other nematodes had suggested a possible association with ivermectin resistance. The other 10 genes were included as co...

Background: To determine the frequency of the single nucleotide polymorphism M287T in exon 9 of the AS3MT gene in Iranian population and to assess the difference in allele frequencies with other ethnicities. Subjects and Methods: Genotyping analysis was performed on 150 healthy subjects using the PCR-RFLP assay. We used chi-square analysis to check the deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium ...
