BACKGROUND: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the virus that causes COVID-19, mainly spreads through respiratory droplets.The dental profession is particularly at risk.Routine dental care was suspended after the announcement of the first lockdown in India.This makes the group vulnerable to psychosocial consequences.The present study
Relocation of Sr48 to Chromosome 2D Using an Alternative Mapping Population and Development of a Closely Linked Marker Using Diverse Molecular Technologies
The Ug99-effective stem rust resistance gene Sr48 was mapped to chromosome 2A based on its repulsion linkage with Yr1 in an Arina/Forno recombinant inbred line (RIL) population.Attempts to identify markers closely linked to Sr48 using available genomic resources were futile.This study used an Arina/Cezanne F5:7 RIL population to identify markers cl
Specific protease mutation patterns are associated with oropharyngeal candidiasis in a New Orleans patient cohort of HIV-infected individuals
HIV-1 protease gene sequences were obtained from peripheral blood, saliva or oral tissues of 35 HIV+ patients using nested amplification and manual sequencing of PCR products.Of the 35 HIV+ patients 9 had clinical oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) Food Blenders while 26 did not, and only 4 patients were on protease inhibitor (PI) therapy.These patien
A Glimpse Towards the Vestigiality and Fate of Human Vermiform Appendix-A Histomorphometric Study
Introduction: The vermiform appendix in human is considered to be a vestigial organ Banjo Brake Light by most of the authors.Absence of appendix is already reported in Indian population.Whether the human appendix is performing any function is debatable but when present it can create trouble.So if there is no appendix we can escape the ill-effects o
