A novel technique for NOD2/CARD15 genotyping using PCR-SSP
The Nucleotide-binding Oligomerisation Domain (NOD) 2 protein is encoded by the Caspase Recruitment Domain (CARD) 15 gene and has a critical role in innate immunity. Recent studies have implicated Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of the NOD2/CARD15 gene with the onset of several Inflammatory Bowel Disorders (Crohn's Disease, Blau syndrome) and ...

Estimation of pedigree errors in the UK dairy population using microsatellite markers and the impact on selection [PDF]
The proportion of cows in the UK dairy herd whose sires were misidentified was estimated using DNA markers. Genetic marker genotypes were determined on 568 cows (from 168 milk samples and 400 hair samples) and 96 putative sires (from semen samples).

Regional differences in recombination hotspots between two chicken populations [PDF]
Background Although several genetic linkage maps of the chicken genome have been published, the resolution of these maps is limited and does not allow the precise identification of recombination hotspots. The availability of more than 3.2 million SNPs in

Postnatal and non-invasive prenatal detection of β-thalassemia mutations based on Taqman genotyping assays. [PDF]
The β-thalassemias are genetic disorder caused by more than 200 mutations in the β-globin gene, resulting in a total (β0) or partial (β+) deficit of the globin chain synthesis. The most frequent Mediterranean mutations for β-thalassemia are: β039, β+IVSI-

Rapid Genotyping of Human Papillomavirus by Post-PCR Array-Based Hybridization Techniques [PDF]
ABSTRACT Kinetic hybridization measurements on a microarray are expected to become a valuable tool for genotyping applications. A method has been developed that enables kinetic hybridization measurements of PCR products on a low-density microarray.

New powerful tools for epidemiological analyses of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri with a strong evolutionary aftertaste [PDF]
The aggravation of epidemic situations for bacterial diseases is often correlated with the emergence of new groups of strains, either because changes in the environment have favored such groups or because the strains themselves have evolved to become ...

Polymorphism in glutathione S-transferase P1 is associated with susceptibility to chemotherapyinduced leukemia [PDF]
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) detoxify potentially mutagenic and toxic DNA-reactive electrophiles, including metabolites of several chemotherapeutic agents, some of which are suspected human carcinogens.
