It is well known that in the hen the egg-white protein ovotransferrin (conalbumin) and the serum protein transferrin are very similar in structure and iron-binding properties (for review see Beam & Parker, 1966). Since it is evident that for the eggwhite protein the name 'ovotransferrin' (Komatsu & Feeney, 1967; Azari & Baugh, 1967) is more informative than the classical name 'conalbumin', it i...

the purpose of this research was to classify buffaloes from different areas of the two azari (west and east azarbayjan and ardabil provinces) and north (guilan province) ecotypes using support vector machine method. a total of 258 buffalo were sampled and genotyped using the axiom buffalo 90k genotyping array at the parco technologic padano lab in italy. two metric methods of cross validation a...

BACKGROUND Lymphomas are a group of malignancies affecting B, T and NK cells. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme is one of the known inflammatory factors which increase during the inflammation process. Increase in COX-2 expression inhibits apoptosis and increases tumor cells invasion and angiogenesis. Increase in the COX-2 gene expression is seen in a group of cancers. Specific COX-2 inhibition al...

Thirteen species of basal Brachycera (11 described as new) are reported, belonging to nine families and three infraorders. They are preserved in amber from the Early Cretaceous (Neocomian) of Lebanon, Albian of northern Spain, upper Albian to lower Cenomanian of northern Myanmar, and Late Cretaceous of New Jersey USA (Turonian) and Alberta, Canada (Campanian). Taxa are as follows, with signific...

introduction: recent molecular studies on iranian β-thalassemia genes revealed the presence of eight common mutations associated with thalassemia. although these mutations are frequent, there are other rare and unknown mutations that can create large problems in designing preventive programs. we detected and explained the common mutations in north-western iran previously and detection of the ra...

Background: Clopidogrel is a standout amongst the most ordinarily recommended medications to avoid ischemic occasions taking after coronary disorder or stant position. However, impaired responses the therapy as well as resistance to the therapy have also been reported. Genetic variants play an important role in clopidogrel biotransformation of its active metabolite that may subsequently influen...
