Potential role of vitamin D receptor-related polymorphisms in bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2021 Background The potential contribution of vitamin D and its receptor (VDR) to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm neonates is still unknown. The objective of the study was to test the relationship between VDR Taq 1 and Fok 1 gene polymorphisms and

De novo Development and Characterization of Tetranucleotide Microsatellite Loci Markers from a Southeastern Population of the House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) [PDF]
, 2019 Microsatellites are short tandem repeats (e.g. TAGATAGA) of base pairs in a species’ genome. High mutation rates in these regions produce variation in the number of repeats across individuals that can be utilized to study patterns of population- and ...

Modification Of Taq DNA Polymerase with Improved Elongation Ability
Eurasian Journal of Applied Biotechnology, 2021 Thermostable polymerases play a significant role in molecular biology and diagnostic practice. The most famous and demanded is Polymerase I from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus (Taq-pol). This polymerase at one time made a kind of revolution in the polymerase chain reaction. In this work, we attempted to modify this polymerase by attaching

Impact of metal oxide nanoparticles on in vitro DNA amplification [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used as an in vitro model system of DNA replication to assess the genotoxicity of nanoparticles (NPs). Prior results showed that several types of NPs inhibited PCR efficiency and increased amplicon error frequency.
