Neotrypaea japonica (Ortmann 1891) is a burrowing shrimp that lives in tidal flats. In this study, 123 SNP markers were isolated and characterized from N. japonica. The frequency range of minor alleles varied 0.2500 to 0.4833, the observed heterozygosity ranged 0.4333 0.9000, expected 0.4944 0.6503. polymorphic parameter inbreeding value 0.3680 0.5651 ? 0.2768 0.1045, respectively. Significant ...

The acquired prion disease kuru was restricted to the Fore and neighbouring linguistic groups of the Papua New Guinea highlands and largely affected children and adult women. Oral history documents the onset of the epidemic in the early twentieth century, followed by a peak in the mid-twentieth century and subsequently a well-documented decline in frequency. In the context of these strong assoc...

objective(s): short tandem repeat (str) loci are the most informative dna genetic markers for attempting to individualize biological material for application in paternity and forensic cases. materials and methods: blood samples were collected and the total genomic dna was extracted. the dna samples were used for genotyping vwa and tpox str loci using pcr and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. ...

Genetic variation among the individuals is considered as an important tool for conservation of livestock animals. This study was conducted to analyze the genetic variation, phylogenetic relationship and paternal lineages among Iranian dog populations using seventeen autosomal and Y chromosome-specific microsatellite markers. Total DNAs of the samples were extracted and applied for genotype anal...

Previous studies have explored the use of departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (DHW) for fine mapping Mendelian disorders and for general fine mapping. Other studies have used Hardy-Weinberg tests for genotyping quality control. To enable investigators to make rational decisions about whether DHW is due to genotyping error or to underlying biology, we developed an analytic framework and so...

More than 80% of the total milk protein contains caseins that are to forms α-s1, α-s2, β-casein and kappa casein. Kappa casein is smaller than other milk proteins but due to have a role in size and stability of micelles. The present study describes polymorphism of kappa casein gene. This is the first study of kappa casein gene polymorphism in Najdi cattle of Iran. We used the polymerase chain r...
