the present study was to construct a parentage verification system for iranian caspian horse. a total number of 45 caspian horse samples including 14 foals for parentage verification, 17 stallion and 14 mare for individual identification were genotyped. genomic dna was extracted from whole blood and the genotype were analysed by pcr procedure and using 7 microsatellite markers (aht04, hms03, hm...

Pedigree information and phenotypic records are the key features in animal genetics and breeding. Otherwise best methods for genetic evaluation and estimation of parameters will be tending to no correct results. This study was aimed to investigate and verify pedigree relations among 76 individuals who were genotyped for 3 fluorescent labeled microsatellite markers picked up from FAO-ISAG joint ...

Objective(s): Short tandem repeat (STR) loci are the most informative DNA genetic markers for attempting to individualize biological material for application in paternity and forensic cases. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected and the total genomic DNA was extracted. The DNA samples were used for genotyping VWA and TPOX STR loci using PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. ...

autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (adpkd) is the most common genetic nephropathy, which is characterized by replacement of renal parenchyma with multiple cysts. in iran, the disease prevalence within the chronic hemodialysis patient population is approximately 8-10%. so far, three genetic loci have been identified to be responsible for adpkd. little information is available concernin...

Analysis of the highly polymorphic beta1 domains of the HLA class II molecules encoded by the DRB1, DQB1, and DPB1 loci reveals contrasting levels of diversity at the allele and amino acid site levels. Statistics of allele frequency distributions, based on Watterson's homozygosity statistic F, reveal distinct evolutionary patterns for these loci in ethnically diverse samples (26 populations for...

Primula veris, a well-known pharmaceutical plant, is a long-lived perennial protected by law in Poland, so its rhizomes and roots can be collected as pharmaceutical stock only from cultivation. Genetic variation of three natural P. veris populations numbering 500–1200 individuals and of three cultivated populations derived from seeds collected from natural sites was investigated in respect of t...

objective(s): genetic analysis of two consanguineous pakistani families with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis was performed with the goal to establish genotype-phenotype correlation. materials and methods: genomic dna extraction had been done from peripheral blood samples. extracted dna was then subjected to pcr (polymerase chain reaction) for amplification. linkage analysis was perf...

This study was performed to investigate two polymorphic sites from Cyp19 gene (PvuII and MspI) and one polymorphic site from ERα gene (SnaBI) in four cattle breeds including Mazandarani, Taleshi, Sistani and Simmental. In overall 278 samples for CYP19 and 206 samples for ERα marker sites were genotyped using polymerase chain reactionsingle-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) procedure. ...

In order to characterize Iranian grape (Vitis vinifera L.) germplasm, 136 genotypes were collected from five grape growing regions (Azarbaijan, Qazvin, Kordestan, Khorasan and Fars) and genotyped along with 36 European cultivars using 9 sequence tagged microsatellite sites (STMS) markers. The used set of markers could distinguish all 172 genotypes under study. Altogether 84 polymorphic alleles ...

Seven hundred and three second chromosomes were extracted from a Raleigh, North Carolina population of Drosophila melanogaster in 1970. Additionally, four hundred and eighty-nine third chromosomes were extracted from a large cage population founded from the flies in the 1970 Raleigh collection. The alpha glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-1, malate dehydrogenase-1, alcohol dehydrogenase, and al...
