Background: Palatal rugae have been shown to be associated with racial and geographical variations and are known to be useful in sex identification. The present study aimed to assess palatal rugae patterns in a sample Iranian population and to compare the results with those from other studied populations.Methods: During summer 2017, 130 pre-orthodontic plaster casts from patients aged 17-25 yea...

Introduction: Recognition of sex is an important aspect of identification of an individual. Apart from pelvis, skull exhibits highest sexual dimorphism in the human body.

Sex determination in mammals is controlled by various transcription factors. Following the identification of SRY on the Y chromosome, several other factors have been identified. They can normally be identified as being involved in sex determination by the identification of sex reversal mutations or deletions, functional studies, and also by male-specific expression patterns in embryos. Here, it...

INTRODUCTION Smell identification deficits are associated with negative symptoms in schizophrenia, particularly in males.

In many bird species, the sex determination is very difficult in young birds and many adults. Nowadays, sex identification of animals throughout their lives is possible by molecular genetic techniques. In the present study, the sex identification of canaries by PCR methods based on chromo helicase DNA binding protein CHD-Z and CHD-W genes were explained. Genomic DNA was extracted from feather b...
