DETERMINATION OF SOME ORGANIC ACIDS IN “BARAGSHUN EN” PREPARATION

The current study aims to measure the amount of some organic acids in Baragshun EN preparation made from natural mineral baragshun; and to determine their chemical structures by using modern advanced technologies. As a result of HPLC analysis, the amount of benzoic acid in Baragshun EN preparation was measured at 12.84%, as well as, linoleic acid, cathinone and malonic acid were identified in the supplement through GC/MS analysis. It has been identified that these organic acids in Baragshun EN preparation help restore the central nervous system, stimulate the immune system, prevent various diseases, protect the body, regenerate, and detoxify, and are antibacterial. The study reveals that the traditions used in folk medicine are similar to the results of our analysis

Exonic Versus Intronic Snps: Contrasting Roles In Revealing The Population Genetic Differentiation Of A Widespread Bird Species

Recent years have seen considerable progress in applying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to population genetics studies. However, relatively few have attempted to use them to study the genetic differentiation of wild bird populations and none have examined possible differences of exonic and intronic SNPs in these studies. Here, using 144 SNPs, we examined population genetic differentiation in the saker falcon (Falco cherrug) across Eurasia. The position of each SNP was verified using the recently sequenced saker genome with 108 SNPs positioned within the introns of 10 fragments and 36 SNPs in the exons of six genes, comprising MHC, MC1R and four others. In contrast to intronic SNPs, both Bayesian clustering and principal component analyses using exonic SNPs consistently revealed two genetic clusters, within which the least admixed individuals were found in Europe/central Asia and Qinghai (China), respectively. Pairwise D analysis for exonic SNPs showed that the two populations were significantly differentiated and between the two clusters the frequencies of five SNP markers were inferred to be influenced by selection. Central Eurasian populations clustered in as intermediate between the two main groups, consistent with their geographic position. But the westernmost populations of central Europe showed evidence of demographic isolation. Our work highlights the importance of functional exonic SNPs for studying population genetic pattern in a widespread avian species.Wo
