Condition and population size of Macaca fascicularis (long-tailed macaque)
This study discusses the population size of Macaca fascicularis in Penang Botanical Gardens, Malaysia. The scan sampling method was used to observe the groups of M. fascicularis in the gardens. The study was carried out from February 2007 to June 2007. Chi-square test was used to find the correlation of individual appears on the specific area of the gardens. The total number of...

Polymorphism of BoLA-DRB 3.2 gene in Iranian native cattle by using PCR-RFLP method
Enhancing disease resistance in animal production can be achieved by genetic improvement programs. The best characterized genetic control of disease resistance and immune response in animals is that associated with the MHC. Respond to specific antigens is closely related to MHC genes and their associations might therefore provide precious answers to main questions about the host pathogen interactions. In cattle there is...

Comparative study of β-lactoglobulin gene polymorphism in Holstein and Iranian native cattle
β-Lactoglobulin (β-LG) is the major protein in whey, making up about 50 to 60% of the total protein. A biological task for β-LG has been the subject of much speculation, but no specific function has been proven. About eleven protein variants of β-LG are known, of which variants A and B are common in most cattle breeds. The purpose of this study was to identify genotypes of...
