in the present study the allelic polymorphisms of gh, ghr and tgfβ3 genes and its association with egg production traits were investigated. blood samples randomly were collected from breeder hens of mazandaran native fowls breeding station and transported to the laboratory in cold chain condition. dna was extracted using modified salting out method and the desired loci were amplified by specifi...

to evaluate allelic diversity at loci encoding low molecular weight glutenin subunits (lmw-gs) among 62 genotypes of bread wheat, nine specific primer pairs for glu-a3, glu-b3, glu-d3 loci were employed. pcr products were separated on 2% agarose gels. two pairs of specific primers, at amplified glu-a3 locus, 8 alleles were detected the c allele of which was the most abundant with a frequency of...

The genotypes for calpastatin (CAST) and calpain (CAPN) loci were determined by PCR-RFLP and PCRSSCPmethods. Blood samples were collected from 200 pure-bred Zel sheep from Shirang’s Zel sheep Breeding Station located in south-west of Golestan, Iran. Extraction of genomic DNA was performed based on the modified salting out method. Based on results, two investigated loci were polymorphic an...

background: autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (arnshl) is the most common hereditary form of deafness, and exhibits a great deal of genetic heterogeneity. so far, more than seventy various dfnb loci have been mapped for arnshl by linkage analysis. the contribution of three common dfnb loci including dfnb3, dfnb9, dfnb21 and gap junction beta-2 (gjb2) gene mutations in arnshl was in...

introduction: human leukocyte antigen (hla) genes are the most polymorphic loci in the human genome. they predict the outcome of transplantation by detecting self from non-self antigens. the best use of hla typing is to find a hla-match donor for bmt candidate patients. evidence suggests that matching unrelated donors and recipients for hla-a, -b and -drb1 loci is a prediction for an improved o...

dna typing is a new method with important applications in forensic medicine. in the present study, we evaluated application of dna typing in iran. loci hum lpl, hum tpox, hum f13, hum vw 31a, hum th01 and hum fes/fps of dna short tandem repeats were studied. to determine sensitivity of the test, 85 mother-child couples (1020 chromosomes) that were referred to dna section of legal medicine organ...

cattle have an important role in primary human civilization, so molecular studies for more accurate recognition of their origin are effective to identify unknown historical aspects. cattle can be divided in to 2 main groups including bos tuarus and bos indicus. both types of cattle can be found in iran; therefore study of their origin has particular importance. the aim of this study was to inve...

anthrax, a zoonotic disease caused by bacillus anthracis, has affected humans since ancient times. for genomic characterization of razi b. anthracis sterne 34f2 substrain, single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) genotyping method developed by van erth, variable-number tandem-repeat (vntr)-8 analysis proposed by keim, and multiple-locus vntr analysis (mlva)-3 introduced by levy were employed. in th...
