the extraordinary revolution in biotechnology has created new possibilities for curing disease and manipulating our genetic heritage. it is easy to see how biotechnology can be used for medicinal purposes. knowledge of the genetic makeup of our species, the genetic basis of heritable diseases, and the invention of technology to manipulate and fix mutant genes provides methods to treat the disea...

before a president practically begins his four-year term of office in iran, a formal inaugural ceremony is held in the parliament. being attended by national dignitaries and representatives from other countries, the inauguration of iran's seventh president, hasan rouhani, was spectacular in several respects. the current study aimed at investigating the generic structure and rhetorical move...

Sequences that can adopt alternative DNA structures (i.e., non-B DNA) are very abundant in mammalian genomes, and recent studies have revealed many important biological functions of non-B DNA structures in chromatin remodeling, DNA replication, transcription, and genetic instability. Here, we provide results from an in silico web-based search engine coupled with cell-based experiments to charac...
