Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy and Identification of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Gene Polymorphisms in Zel Sheep PopulationSeyed Mohsen Kazemi, Cyrus Amirinia, Hossein Emrani, Shahaboddin GharahveysiProblem statement: The IGFs play an important role in regulating somatic growth according to nutritional conditions. Polymorphisms of IGF gene are reported to be significantly associated with many traits. Approach: In these study 142 samples of DNA from Zel sheep were used for detecting the polymorphisms of promoter region of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) gene. Therefore DNA extracted from … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 13 Jan 2012 · 7,745 accessesView PDFCite

In order to evaluate the leptin gene receptor polymorphism, we have used a Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) method. Approach: Blood samples were collected from randomly chosen 100 native fowls breeding station of Mazandaran. The … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 7,705 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Niacin on Hyperleptinemia and Ob Gene mRNA Over-Expression in Adipose Tissue of Dexamethasone Treated RatsTahoora Shomali, Mahnaz Taherianfard, Mehdi Fazeli, Niloofar SafaeiProblem statement: Glucocorticoid-induced ob gene over-expression and resulted hyperleptinemia may lead to adverse consequences especially on cardiovascular system; therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of niacin on hyperleptinemia and ob gene over-expression due to dexamethasone administration in rats. Approach: Twenty four adult male rats divided randomly into four equal groups: 1- normal saline (control), 2- dexamathasone … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2011 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Tool for Generation and Minimization of Test Suite by Mutant Gene AlgorithmSelvakumar Subramanian, Ramaraj NatarajanProblem statement: This study proposes a new idea for generation of minimized test suite in the test case generation using the mutant gene algorithm, which not only identifies the best test cases but also reduces the number of test cases generated, selects test cases optimally there improving the performance in testing of software. Test cases are generated by using branch … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 9 Aug 2011 · 7,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetection of Polymorphism at the Insulin Like Growth Factor-I Gene in Mazandaran Native Chicken using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism MethodHossein Ali Abbasi, Mohsen KazemiProblem statement: Molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in chickens. The Insulin like Growth Factor-I (IGF1) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. Approach: In the present study polymorphism of the promoter and 5' untranslated region of IGF-1 gene of Mazandaran … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 8 Aug 2011 · 7,634 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Rough Set based Gene Expression Clustering AlgorithmJ. Jeba Emilyn, K. RamarProblem statement: Microarray technology helps in monitoring the expression levels of thousands of genes across collections of related samples. Approach: The main goal in the analysis of large and heterogeneous gene expression datasets was to identify groups of genes that get expressed in a set of experimental conditions. Results: Several clustering techniques have been proposed for identifying gene signatures and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,833 accessesView PDFCite

Mahalakshmi, K.L. Therese, R. Kirthika et al.Abstract: Problem statement: To evaluate nPCR targeting B1 gene (primer set 1) with 3 other nPCRs targeting B1 gene (primer set 2), 3' end of SAG2 and 5' end of SAG2 gene, for detection of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) genome on AH from HIV positive TRC patients. Approach: DNA extracted from AH of 12 TRC patients and 12 controls (patients … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 6,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGhrelin Gene Expression in Broiler Proventriculus Tissue are Changed by Feed Restriction, Different Dietary Energy and Protein LevelsShokoufe Ghazanfari, Mohammad Reza Nassiry, Mojtaba Tahmoorespur et al.Problem statement: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of feed restriction and different energy and protein contents of diet on ghrelin gene expression in broiler chicken. Approach: Feeding programs consisted of ad libitum and feed restriction, two energy levels (3100 and 2800 kcal ME kg-1) and three protein levels (22.3, 19.3 and 16.3% CP).
