Abstract: Lectins are carbohydrate-recognizing proteins known for their capacity to agglutinate erythrocytes through specific glycan interactions. Screening of native plant species is an effective approach for identifying novel lectins with potential biomedical relevance. The present investigation aimed to evaluate hemagglutination activity from Tamarindus indica seeds collected from the Karnatak University Dharwad region and to characterize the most potent lectin source based on carbohydrate specificity, thermal and pH stability, and molecular mass determination.....

| Title | : | Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP): A Classical Molecular Marker And Its Contemporary Relevance |
| Country | : | India |

|
: | 10.9790/ 264X-1201010912 |
Abstract: Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) is a DNA-based molecular marker technique used to detect genetic variation by analyzing differences in the lengths of DNA fragments produced after digestion with specific restriction endonucleases. These polymorphisms arise due to changes at the DNA level due to insertions, deletions, or point mutations at the DNA level that create or abolish restriction enzyme recognition sites, resulting in fragment length.......

Abstract: The northern region of Sinaloa is characterized by its intense fishing activity, which represents a primary source of income for coastal communities. However, these communities face economic and social challenges stemming from marginalization and dependence on overexploited commercial species, such as shrimp. In this context, the bycatch obtained during shrimp fishing includes undervalued species, which represent a resource with high potential for utilization but currently lack adequate valuation. This article presents the results of characterizing the physicochemical.....

Abstract: Background: Instrumental vaginal delivery (IVD) is of obstetric importance and has averted impending fetomaternal morbidity and mortality. Globally, the practice is on the decline due to lack of information on the success of the procedure especially among the younger generations of obstetricians.
Objective: To evaluate the trend of instrumental vaginal delivery at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Akwa Ibom State.....
