An Editorial on Antibiotic resistance from Arbitrary DNA Sequences
Authors: M. Akram
Anti-infection obstruction is a significant worldwide issue and the spread of safe microorganisms causes sickness and passing and comprises a significant expense to society. The most widely recognized path for microscopic organisms to create opposition is by taking up different sorts of obstruction qualities from different microorganisms. These qualities .. Read More»

Analysis of Micro-RNAs and Gene Expression Profiles in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Consensus Approach
Authors: R. Bhushan, A. Rani, D. Gupta, I. Khan, A. Tripati, R. P. Singh and K. D. Pawan
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance. Lack of complete mechanisms involved in its pathophysiology makes its early diagnosis and treatment a difficult task. Recently, micro-RNAs are associated with many diseases including GDM. Its high stability in biological fluids and the ability to modulate gene.. Read More»

Diagnosis of Idiopathic Primary Infertility in a Consanguineous Infertile Family using Clinical and Molecular Cytogenetic Techniques
Authors: H. Muhammad, R. Khan, F. Wahab, I. Khan, B. Shah, A. Ali, N. Farooqi, Dil, N. Ali, F. Jalil and S. Ali
Background: Male infertility is a multifactorial medical problem affecting around 7% of the male population in whom 1% are affected by Non Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA). Despite of advanced diagnostic techniques, majority of the infertility cases remain idiopathic .Therefore more evidence based scientific research is required to investigate the underlying..

Development and Transferability of Microsatellites Markers for Species of the Saltans Group of Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Authors: B.E. Roman, B.M. Trava and L. Madi-Ravazzi
The microsatellite markers (SSRs) are highly polymorphic, fast evolving, and regarded as neutral markers. Due to these traits, they have been widely used in population studies. The development of specific SSRs for a given species opens possibilities for the application, by means of transferability, in population studies of other species that are phylogene.. Read More»

Molecular Characterization of Tuf Gene and Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns of Streptococcus Species in Local Population of Lahore, Pakistan
Authors: A. Mahmood, A. J. Sami and Q. Ali
Background: Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) is a global problem which is expeditiously increasing. Different antimicrobial drugs have been reported resistant against various Streptococcus species. This has been a threat to local individuals in all over the world specifically in developing countries including Pakistan. Decreased efficiency of drugs due to emer.. Read More»

Knock down of molt regulating gene for development control of Helicoverpa armigera
Authors: M.N. Sharif, M.S. Iqbal, R. Alam, B. Tabassum, M.F. Awan, Q. Ali and I.A. Nasir
RNA interference (RNAi) caused by exogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a powerful tool, and to date is widely adopted to knockdown genetic targets crucial for growth and development of agriculturally important insect pests. Helicoverpa armigera is a pest feeding on more than 30 economically important crops worldwide and a major threat. Resistance to i.. Read More»

Genetic Evaluation for Effects of Salt and Drought Stress on Growth Traits of Zea mays Seedlings
Authors: M. Khalil, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Maize is an important grain cash crop grown throughout the world for its grain and fodder. It is highly sensitive for abiotic stress conditions; like drought, chilling, alkalinity, heat, salt and cold conditions. Present study was carried out to find out the effects of salt or NaCl and drought stress on three selected maize genotypes viz., P6103, L5971 an.. Read More»

Genetic Advances and Heritability for Different Seedling Traits of Wheat and Maize under Heavy Metal and Salt Stress
Authors: K. Afzal, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Maize (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) both are an important cereal crop plants. Both are grown as food and feed for human and livestock. Wheat and maize are highly sensitive to heat, drought, salinity and heavy metal toxicity. For evaluation of genotypes of maize and wheat under heavy metal and salt stress, an experimented was conducted in the gr.. Read More»

Genetic Evaluation of Brassica juncea and Sinapis alba Seedling Traits under Multi Stress Conditions
Authors: H. Khan, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Brassica is an important oil seed crop plant species grown throughout the world. Brassica juncea and Sinapis alba are very sensitive to abiotic stress conditions which included drought, heat, salt, heavy metals and cold which disturb their growth and yield. For this purpose to check the effect of heavy metals, salt and drought, an experiment was conducted.. Read More»
