A study was conducted to appraise the effect of different stocking densities on three male morphotypes named blue claw (BC), orange claw (OC) and small male (SM) at harvest  in all-male culture and to assess the growth performance of  BC, OC and SM in each isolated culture. Trials involving three stocking densities of all-male prawn viz., 20, 30 and 40 juvenile m-2 were carried out in...

DNA polymerases are responsible for ensuring stability of the genome and avoiding genotoxicity caused by a variety of factors during DNA replication. Consequently, these proteins have been associated with an increased cancer risk. DNA polymerase kappa (POLK) is a specialized DNA polymerase involved in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) that allows DNA synthesis over the damaged DNA. Recently, some...

Activity of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), an enzyme involved in folate metabolism, is influenced by mutations in the corresponding gene, contributing to a decrease in 5,10-MTHF. Due to such polymorphisms, individuals differ in MTHFR enzyme activity and plasma folate levels. We investigated the relationship between two common MTHFR polymorphisms (C677T and A1298C) and breast cance...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role as regulators of tumor suppressors and oncogenes in cancer-related processes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAs have been shown to be relevant to various different cancers, including breast cancer (BC). The aim of this study was to estimate the associations between miRNA-related gene polymorphisms (miR-196a2, miR-499, and miR-608) and the...

the current study was designed to estimate the frequency of igf-i gene 1 polymorphism and investigate if their polymorphisms have association with biometric traits in moghani sheep by pcr-sscp method. for this purpose, a number of 100 sheep were randomly chosen from moghani sheep jafarabad, moghan breeding station that located in ardabil state and blood samples were collected from the left jugu...

Female cancers such as breast (BC), endometrial (EC) and ovarian (OC) cancers show a growing incidence rate all over the world including Russia. In Novosibirsk city the incidence of BC, EC and OC is approximately 80, 25 и 12 per 100 000 in female population, respectively. In Novosibirsk population EC is most commonly found between the ages of 55 and 60 years, OC – between 45-60 and 55-60 years,...

introduction: this study aimed to evaluate the dentin-sealer interface in three different sealers using scanning electron microscopy (sem). methods and materials: thirty extracted human single-rooted teeth were prepared using protaper rotary files and were randomly divided into three groups ( n =10) including bc sealer, ah-plus and dorifill. the root canals were filled with cold lateral condens...

ABSTRACT A multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed to simultaneously genotype plants for the I and bc-1(2) alleles, which condition resistance in beans to Bean common mosaic virus and Bean common mosaic necrosis virus. A segregating F(2) population was derived from the cross between pinto bean breeding line P94207-189A (bc-1 bc-1 I I) and Olathe (bc-12 bc-1(2) i ...

Mikrocytos mackini, causative agent of Denman Island disease in Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas and other oyster species, was found in 2011 in a previously unreported host, the Kumamoto oyster C. sikamea, in Humboldt Bay, California, USA. The detection was also the first reported finding of M. mackini in California. Prevalence was estimated as high as approximately 27% from pooled samples ana...
