Near-fatal asthma (NFA) is defined as the most severe form of here asthma characterized by a refractory asthma attack with an arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) greater than 45 mmHg and altered consciousness, requiring mechanical ventilation.We reported the case of 40-year-old female patient, obese and asthmatic with irregular treatment who pr
Biochemical polymorphism study is a method of determination of genetic variation.This variability could be a basis for selection and subsequent genetic improvement in farm animals.The polymorphism in the intron 1 of chicken growth hormone (cGH) gene was investigated in the Iranian native fowls by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fr

Abstract Background Transposed elements (TEs) are known to affect transcriptomes, because either new exons are generated from intronic transposed elements (this is called exonization), or the element inserts into the exon, leading to a new transcript.Several examples in the literature show that isoforms generated by an exonization are specific to a
