Alpha-lactalbumin (α-LA, LALBA) was strongly correlated with the nutritional value and the functional properties of whey and whey products. However, there are not many studies of goat LALBA gene and its polymorphisms in literary sources. In this paper, on the basis of PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing, one M63868:g.1897T>C mutation in exon 3 at LALBA locus identified a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism ...

This study aims to characterize different Salmonella enterica subsp molecularly. strains (n=49) were isolated from human gastrointestinal cases in the Tolima region and poultry Santander regions using PCR-RFLP, PCR-ribotyping, PCR-SSCP. The band patterns obtained with each technique analyzed by building dendrograms based on Unweighted Pair Group Method Arithmetic mean (UPGMA) method Dice coeffi...

PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analyses were carried out on the 1.6-kb groEL gene from 41 strains of 10 different Salmonella serovars. Three HaeIII RFLP profiles were recognized, but no discrimination between the serovars could be achieved by this technique. However, PCR-SSCP analysis of the groEL genes of vario...

This study was conducted to assess the possible association between polymorphisms of transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene and obese Iraqi adults. DNA obtained from 158 subjects 142 controls. Two specific PCR fragments were designed incorporate two highly frequent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)s within TCF7L2, rs11196208 rs7908486. Both amplified loci genotyped by PCR-single-strand ...

AIM To estimate genetic variability in exon 3 of caprine myostatin gene in Marwari goats. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 120 blood samples from unrelated Marwari goats were randomly collected from different villages of Bikaner (Rajasthan), India. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood using blood DNA isolation kit (Himedia Ltd.) as per manufacturer's protocol. The quality of extracted g...

Inhibin A (INHA) is a glycoprotein hormone which has a role in regulating the synthesis and secretion of pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone. In this paper, single nucleotide polymorphisms of 5′ regulatory region and exon 1 of INHA gene were detected in one prolific goat breed (Jining Grey goat) and five low to medium fecundity breeds (Boer, Liaoning Cashmere, Wendeng Dairy, Taihang and Inne...

Background: Cellular tolerance to heat stress is mediated by shock proteins (HSPs). The HSPs act as molecular chaperones and are transcribed in response stress. Among different families of these proteins, HSP70 considered be related the development temperature tolerance. Unraveling polymorphism protein genes could a step towards identification genetic markers for selecting heat-tolerant cattle....
