F-box proteins are an expanding family of eukaryotic proteins characterized by an approximately 40 aminoacid motif, the F box (so named because cyclin F was one of the first proteins in which this motif was identified) [1]. Some F-box proteins have been shown to be critical for the controlled degradation of cellular regulatory proteins [2] [3]. In fact, F-box proteins are one of the four subuni...

: Coffee leaves can be processed into functional beverages because they have a fairly high tannin content and taste that is no less delicious than coffee beans so used as substitute for tea in the processing of leaf tea. Red ginger added to it beneficial health an antioxidant increase endurance. This study aims to: (1) Examine effect concentration comparison with red on (2) sensory characterist...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common form of hereditary mental retardation. Early diagnosis of the disease may lead to better prognosis for children who participate in early intervention programs. This study attempted to evaluate whether screening newborn boys with simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay could be an effective approach for detection of mutation...

Tandem repeats in DNA sequences are extremely relevant in biological phenomena and diagnostic tools. Computational programs that discover these tandem repeats generate a huge volume of data, which is often difficult to decipher without further organization. In this paper, the authors describe a new method for post-processing tandem repeats through clustering and classification. Their work prese...

Background: The variable numbers of tandem-repeat (VNTR) alleles at the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene have been used in carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis in phenylketonuria families. This study was carried out to analyze VNTR alleles at the PAH gene in Iranian Azeri Turkish population. Methods: In this study, 200 alleles from general population were studied by PCR. Results: The fr...
