Abstract

Rabbits are a group of animals that are very popular and enjoyed by the community. Rabbits, in general, have the high biological and economic potential to produce quality meat, skin, and hair, as well as pets (ornamental) and modern business farming. Rabbits are well known in Indonesia and developed mostly for farming. This literature study discusses morphometric characteristics and genetic distances among rabbits. The parameters used were head length (PK), head width (LK), ear length (PTL), ear width (LTL), chest circumference (LKD), chest width (LD), humerus bone length (PH), radius-ulna bone length (PRU), tibial bone length (PT), and body length (PB). The results of body variables measurement in FG rabbits had a higher mean for body size, including PK (12.64 cm), PTL (13.59 cm), LTL (6.47 cm), PH (9.52 cm), PRU (8, 95 cm), and PB (41.97 cm) compared to other families. Genetic distance shows that it has a close genetic distance (0.63106), while the farthest genetic distance is found between Rexb rabbits and ES rabbits, which is 6.96749. The genetic distances and tree phenogram construction are useful for estimating kinship between Rabbits clumps.

Abstract

A metabolic disorder appears when unusual chemical reactions impair the metabolism process in the body. This condition affects how the body distributes and processes macronutrients, including protein, lipids, and carbohydrates. Transcription Factor 7 Like 2 (TCF7L2) is a 217,460 bp gene, found in chromosome 10q25, and encodes the High Mobility Group (HMG) box with a role in the Wnt signaling pathway. The Wnt signaling pathway involves several processes during development, healthy homeostasis, and illness. The reactions that follow the pathway's activation regulate both proliferation and differentiation. Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in the TCF7L2 gene has been linked to a variety of metabolic disorders incidence. SNP rs11196205 was found to have a significant association with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus, glucose homeostasis, obesity-related parameters, and renal function. Mechanism SNPs causing the metabolic disorder are still unexplained, but SNPs are suspected to affect transcription and splicing processes. SNPs of TCF7L2 genes are reported to affect proinsulin conversion to insulin, decrease incretin hormone production, and decrease insulin sensitivity throughout the body. It can conclude that the screening for the SNP can be a sign of metabolic process abnormalities, especially in diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

The fingerprint pattern (dermatoglyphics) of each individual is not the same. Fingerprint patterns are often used as an identification tool in criminal cases and disease diagnosis. Fingerprint patterns for health diagnosis are usually diseases caused by genetic factors, for example hypertension. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of fingertip dermatoglyphics of hypertension patients. The research sample was 60 people consisting of 30 people with hypertension who visited the DR. M. Djamil Padang and controls 30 non-hypertension (normal) people from Biology FMIPA UNP students. Simple random sampling. The research variables are tendril patterns on the fingertips. The Chi-square test was used to analyse the tendril pattern data of hypertension patients. The results showed that the arch fingerprint pattern is a unique character in hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Indonesia has local varieties of citrus that are no less than imported citrus, especially in terms of fruit freshness. However, people are more interested in the color of citrus peel so people prefer imported citrus to local citrus, especially in Sumatera. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out efforts to conserve and improve the characteristics of these citrus to improve their quality through plant breeding. This study aims to optimize DNA isolation methods for citrus fruit samples with Chelex-TE and to determine the genetic profile of local Sumatera citrus and imported citrus using the genotyping RAPD. The samples used were several local citrus in Sumatera (Citrus Siam Mountain Omeh, Citrus Madu, Citrus Keprok Maga, Citrus Keprok Brastepu and Citrus Pasaman) and imported Citrus (Citrus Sunkist, Citrus Clemengold, Citrus Murkot and Citrus Wokam). DNA was isolated using the 10% Chelex-TE method which was optimized for several parameters such as grain size, fruit skin and leaves. RAPD was performed using 10 RAPD primers. The results showed that the optimum 10% Chelex Chelex-TE isolation method was a sample size of 1 grain. The amplification of local Sumatran citrus and imported citrus using 10 single primers produced polymorphic bands. The value of jaccard's similarity indicates that the five samples of Sumatera local variety of citrus and imported citrus have high genetic variation.

Abstract

Asthma is a disease defined as chronic inflammation of the airways which is characterized by recurrent coughing and shortness of breath. Dermatoglyphs are the appearance of tendrils and tendril patterns on the fingers, palms, toes and soles. Dermatoglyph is used as an aid in the detection of a number of diseases that have a strong heritable basis and is also used to detect abnormalities. This study aims to analyze and compare the patterns of dermatoglyphics in asthma sufferers and non-asthmatics on the fingertips. This type of research is descriptive research with cross sectional sampling method. Samples were taken from the student population of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Padang State University as many as 100 samples of fingerprint patterns. The results obtained showed that there was a significant difference in the number of arch fingerprint patterns of asthmatics compared to normal individuals. Seeing this significant difference in numbers indicates a possible link between fingerprint patterns and asthma phenotypes.
