background: cholesteryl ester transfer protein (cetp) plays a main role in high-density lipoprotein metabolism. cetp gene possesses several single nucleotide polymorphisms which have been associated with plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c) concentrations. the aim of this study was to determine the association of cetp -629c/a and i405v polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (...

Polymorphisms along the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome have an impact on disease outcome, sensitivity to antiviral treatment, escape from vaccination, and laboratory diagnosis. We have designed a diagnostic tool based on duplex amplification of the whole HBV genome and a high-density DNA chip designed to detect 245 mutations, 20 deletions, and 2 insertions at 151 positions and to determine the ...

The objective of this study was to develop, using alternative algorithms, low-density SNP genotyping panels (384 to 12,000 SNP), which can be accurately imputed to higher-density panels across independent cattle populations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were selected based on genomic characteristics (i.e., linkage disequilibrium [LD], minor allele frequency [MAF], and genomic distance) in a ...

To gain more insight into interspecies transmission of rotavirus group A, human and animal fecal samples were collected between 1997 and 2001 in The Netherlands. A total of 110 human stool samples were successfully P and G genotyped by reverse transcriptase PCR. All strains belonged to the main human rotavirus genotypes G1 to G4, G9, [P4], [P6], [P8], and [P9]. [P8]G1 was predominant, and 5.5% ...

Under a climate change perspective, the genetic make-up of local livestock breeds showing adaptive traits should be explored and preserved as priority. We used genotype data from ovine 50 k Illumina BeadChip for assessing breed autozygosity based on runs homozygosity (ROH) fine-scale structure detecting genomic regions under selection in 63 Tunisian sheep samples. The average inbreeding coeffic...

The experiment was conducted using seven proso millet advanced lines including one check variety, BARI Cheena-1 (BC-1) across 3 locations (Gazipur, Jamalpur and Rangpur) of Bangladesh during 2019-20. objective this study to find out stable lines, verify the influence environments on yield at different Bangladesh. mean sum squares for genotypes were significant grain which revealed presence gene...

To determine the role of DDX3Y gene in spermatogenesis and infertility in bulls, blood samples were collected from five infertile bulls (azoospermic; no sperm in the semen) at the Animal Breeding Center in Karaj, Iran. The recommended human primers by EAA/EQMN were investigated using the BLASTn database for STS marker detection. Alignment of STS marker genes with bovine genome was performed. Pr...

Rotavirus A, the most common cause of severe diarrhoea in children worldwide, occurs in five major VP7 (G) and VP4 (P) genotype combinations, comprising G1P[8], G2P[4], G3P[8], G4P[8] and G9P[8]. However, G8, a common bovine rotavirus genotype, has been reported frequently among children in African countries. Surveillance of rotavirus gastroenteritis conducted in a sentinel hospital in Blantyre...
