background: traditionally, morphological features of rhipicephalus (boophilus) annulatus from closely-related ticks have been considered for their identification and differentiation. however, it is difficult and requires expertise in order to accurately identify and differentiate engorged female ticks and some developmental stages such as larva and nymph from other similar ticks. hence, molecul...

conclusions the trat gene and pai markers were highly prevalent among upec strains isolated from patients in kashan, iran; therefore these determinants could be used as targets for prophylactic interventions. also there was a high level of resistance against the antibiotics commonly used for urinary tract infection treatment. to reach better therapeutic outcomes, treatment regimens have to be m...

DNA size markers (ladder) are essential tools in molecular biology, genetics and biotechnology. In this study, a simple and cost-effective method for laboratory production of DNA ladders is introduced. For this purpose, different sizes of 100 to 2000 bp DNA segments were designed using PCR technique. For producing 14 different gene fragments as DNA molecular weight markers, recombinant plasmid ...

linked and/or gene-based molecular markers have been used widely in marker-assisted selection (mas) to differentiate resistant and susceptible genotypes. resistance to meloidogyne spp. in beta vulgaris l. is mediated by a single dominant gene (r6m-1). using allele-specific primers (asps), an snp marker harboring a single nucleotide polymorphism (a/g), linked to the resistance gene was developed...
