areas. However, there is little published information concerning field preservation of marine …

Ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BmimPF6), as a green
solvent, was successfully used for the direct extraction of dsDNA. The extraction efficiency …

Long-term stored (LTS) whole blood collection can be an important source of DNA without
collection costs, but there is a lack of information on methods useful to extract genomic DNA …

Background Different methods available for extraction of human genomic DNA suffer from
one or more drawbacks including low yield, compromised quality, cost, time consumption …

Molecular dynamics simulation and biophysical analysis were employed to reveal the
characteristics and the influence of ionic liquids (ILs) on the structural properties of DNA …

Conventional DNA sample preparation methods involve tedious sample handling steps that
require numerous inhibitors of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and instrumentation to …

Ejaculates from sires were examined by polymerase chain reaction to determine percentage
of sperm bearing the Y chromosome. Results were verified by examining the percentage of …

Studies in various ethnic groups have shown contradictory evidence on the association of
the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism with …

Genetic polymorphisms in glutathione S‐transferase (GST) genes may modulate the risk of
cardiovascular diseases. The objective of present study was to investigate the potential …
