Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGenetic Polymorphisms in the Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated Gene Confers Risk of Obesity in Iraqi PopulationShatha Ramadhanzaidan, Faris Abd Al Kareem, Lujain Anwar AlkhazrajyProblem statement: Obesity is strongly influenced by genetic factors, with an estimated heritability of 60% BMI. Genetic susceptibility to the common form of obesity appears to be polygenic. Although theoretical analyses emphasized the power of genetic association study in common polygenic diseases, the search for genes conferring the risk of obesity has thus far not been very successful. Approach: In … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 21 Sep 2011 · 7,624 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGoats’ Litter Size Concerning Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 Gene VariationsTebogo Letsukulo Percy Thepa, Thobela Louis Tyasi, Jones Ng’ambiBone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, plays essential roles in follicular development and ovulation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the BMP15 gene have been associated with litter size in multiple livestock species, yet no comprehensive systematic review has synthesized findings across goat breeds. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association between … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 18 Feb 2026 · 1,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessment of Genetic Diversity among Elite Breeding Lines of Arabica Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) in Ethiopia using Simple Sequence Repeats MarkersTadesse Benti, Endale Gebre, Kassahun Tesfaye et al.Despite being the center of origin and genetic diversity, there has beenlimited application of molecular markers in arabica coffee breeding inEthiopia. In this study, the extent of genetic diversity and relationships of48 elite breeding lines of arabica coffee from different geographical originswere evaluated using 14 SSR markers. The SSR markers amplified 105 alleles ofwhich 104 are polymorphic with an average … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2022 · 6,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSSR Analysis of the Chloroplast and Mitochondrial Genomes of Cultivar Lines and Wild Types of the Sunflower (Helianthus L.)Vladimir Arturovich Khachumov, Alexander Vyacheslavovich Usatov, Kirill Vitalievich Azarin et al.SSR analysis of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of cultivar lines and wild species of sunflower (Helianthus L.) were completed. The polymorphism of 18 microsatellite loci of the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes was investigated. Based on the obtained data was constructed dendrogram showing the genetic diversity of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of sunflowers. The studied species were clustered into annual and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 19 Feb 2020 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGenetic Diversity of Some Saudi Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Landraces Based on Two Types of Molecular MarkersMohamed Abdel Hamid Mohamed El-Awady, Adel Ahmed El-Sayed El-Tarras, Salah El-Din El-AssalProblem statement: Very little is known about the genetic diversity and morphological variability present in barley landrace in KSA, a country experiencing loss of biodiversity because of replacement of landraces with modern landraces. Approach: The molecular markers RAPD and ISSR were used as an efficient tools to estimate the intra-and inter-cultivar polymorphism among six barley KSA landraces collected from different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 7,505 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRANDOMLY AMPLIFIED POLYMORPHIC DNA-A BRIEF REVIEWNandani Kumari, Saroj Kumar ThakurRAPD is a PCR based technique which involves the use of single arbitrary short primers (8-12 nucleotides), resulting in the amplification of many discrete DNA. The segments of DNA that are amplified are random. The technique was developed independently by two different laboratories and called as RAPD and AP-PCR (Arbitrary Primed PCR). This procedure detects nucleotide sequence polymorphisms in a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2014 · 17,266 accessesView PDFCite
