IDENTIFICATION OF GENOME DIVERSITY IN DIFFERENT BREEDS OF IRANIAN NATIVE SHEEP USING THE WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING METHOD

Identification of genome diversity in different breeds of Iranian native sheep using the whole genome sequencing method

Purpose: Iran is considered to be one of the oldest centers of domestication and breeding of livestock and poultry species in the world.Currently, different ecotypes of indigenous sheep are kept in different geographical regions of the country, which have obvious differences from each other in terms of appearance and production characteristics.So f

Design and methodology of the Aging Nephropathy Study (AGNES): a prospective cohort study of elderly patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract Background Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is usually indicated for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with glomerular filtration rate below 10 ml/ml/min/1.73m2.However, the need for RRT and timing of dialysis initiation are debatable for patients aged 70 years or older.We here describe the study design and methodology of the Aging

Air-Fluidized Aggregates of Black Soldier fly Larvae

Black soldier fly larvae are a sustainable protein source and play a vital role in the emerging food-waste recycling industry.One of the challenges of raising larvae in dense aggregations is their rise in temperature during feeding, which, if not mitigated, can become lethal to the larvae.We propose applying air-fluidization to circumvent such over
