genetic markers are one of the advances which have occured in the genomics era. among genetic markers, molecular markers mainly because of their abundance, are the most widely used them. development of molecular markers has greatly altered genetics and plant breeding. genetic markers indicate the genetic differences between different organs or species. some studies which were conducted during t...

study of genetic relationships is a prerequisite for plant breeding activities as well as for conservation of genetic resources. in the present study, genetic diversity among and within 15 iranian native ajowan(carum copticum l.) populations were determined using inter simple sequence repeat (issr) markers. twelve selected primers produced 153 discernible bands, with 93 (60.78%) being polymorph...

conclusions it was demonstrated that the presence of del6q21 in b-cll patients indicates poor prognosis and on the contrary, presence of del17p13 points at the good prognostic value of the disease. results deletion of 17p13 was found in 11 (16.6%) and deletion 6q21 was present in 5 (7.5%). statistical analyses were performed to investigate the correlation of these molecular-cytogenetic findings...

Neuroblastoma, one of the common malignant childhood tumors, arises from neuroblast cells derived from theneural crest and destined for the adrenal medulla and the sympathetic nervous system and shows remarkable biologicalheterogeneity, resulting in favorable or unfavorable outcomes. Some tumors make rapid progress with a fataloutcome. In other instances, the tumors regress spontaneously in inf...
