Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis after PCR amplification (RFLP-PCR) of the 16S rRNA gene has been previously proposed as a rapid method to identify Aeromonas species. In the present study, the precision of RFLP-PCR was evaluated with 62 Aeromonas reference strains. The analysis revealed that Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria strains produce various patterns, possibly leading to i...

objective: to investigate the association of c631t single nucleotide polymorphisms in spo11 gene with male infertilityfollowed by an in silico approach. spo11 is a gene involved in meiosis and spermatogenesis process, which in humans, this gene is located on chromosome 20 (20q13.2-13.3) with 13 exons. materials and methods: in a case-control study, 200 blood samples were collected from the ivf ...

objective(s): foxp3 gene is an x-linked gene that encodes foxp3 protein, an essential transcription factor in cd4+cd25+foxp3+ regulatory t (treg) cells.  we aimed, in the present study, to investigate the association of two foxp3 polymorphisms, -2383 c/t (rs3761549) and ivs9+459 t/c (rs2280883), with lung cancer. materials and methods:  in a case-control study we analyzed genotypes and alleles ...

an attempt has been made to analyze the distribution of the beta-lactoglobulin genotype in swamp buffaloes and murrah buffaloes utilizing polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(pcr-rflp). blood samples were taken from 50 swamp buffaloes and 50 murrah buffaloes. the dna was extracted by the phenol-chloroform method. the pcr-rflp was performed using beta-lactoglobulin ...

more than 80% of the total milk protein contains caseins that are to forms α-s1, α-s2, β-casein and kappa casein. kappa casein is smaller than other milk proteins but due to have a role in size and stability of micelles. the present study describes polymorphism of kappa casein gene. this is the first study of kappa casein gene polymorphism in najdi cattle of iran. we used the polymerase chain r...

a total of 125 russian red pied cows were genotyped for the prolactim-related gene. the prl-rsai genotypes were analysed using the polymerase chain reaction -restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) method. in this breed, the frequencies of alleles were as follows;  a= 0.794 and b= 0.206. the frequencies of aa, ab and bb genotypes were 0.598, 0.392 and 0.01; respectively. results sho...

Little leaf and yellowing symptoms associated with phytoplasma disease were observed in Pyracantha angustifolia Turkey. Amplification (through nested PCR) virtual restriction fragment length polymorphism (V-RFLP) confirmed the presence of symptomatic plants phylogeny based on R16F2n/R2 sequences P. was established sequence analysis showed that isolate had 98.7% similarity to ‘Candidatus Phytopl...

OBJECTIVES Genetic mutations and polymorphisms have been correlated with chronic pancreatitis (CP). This study aims to investigate the association of genetic variants of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK-1) genes and Cathepsin B gene polymorphisms with CP and to associate genetic backgrounds with clinical phenotypes. M...

Background: Cryptosporidium parvum is major protozoan parasite of both animals and humans with zoonotic significance. There a paucity information on its occurrence associated risk factors in North Eastern states, India. The present study aimed at the molecular characterization from cattle handlers West district Tripura associates analysis. Methods: Faecal samples were randomly collected (100 ea...
