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.

Abstract

Genetic diseases are known to be difficult and could not be avoided. The disease is obtained from mutations and changes in genetic traits that are passed on from one or both genes from parent to child. Genes carrying traits or diseases can be dominant and recessive, their location can be on the autosomal chromosome or sex chromosome X or Y. This study was conducted on premarital female respondents with defined inclusion criteria. Data were collected through a google form questionnaire. A total of 110 respondents with several parameters of genetic counseling. The result was obtained that all respondents have known that certain diseases can be inherited. However, from all respondents, it was found that they had low knowledge of genetic counseling and premarital screening. From the respondent's data, it was also found that only 17% of respondents knew the history of the disease of the prospective partner and their family. In this case, it can be said that respondents might be carry the sick gene which means the probability that their child will carry the same gene is 50% normal: 50% sick. By screening, it might be predicted that the couple will be able to find out the potential diseases that will be passed on to their offspring later. Latest 48% decided to cancel and 26% said they did not agree and stated to continue the plan of marriage. Lack of knowledge about risk of genetic disorders need education about premarital screening to increase this information and premarital screening to the public.

Abstract

Obstacles that often occur in cultivation of tomatoes, chilies, and tobacco is the occurrence of diseases caused by viruses. One of them is infected with the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), this virus infection is very dangerous for large red chili, tomato and tobacco farming which results in quite large losses for farmers in Indonesia. Controlling viral infections caused by CMV is very difficult due to the high genetic diversity of CMV making it difficult to obtain resistant types of red pepper, tomato and tobacco, the range of CMV host plants is wide, and CMV can be transmitted by aphids and ticks. non-persistent whiteheads. The aim of this journal review was to determine the pathogenicity of sat-RNA associated with CMV in red chilies, tomatoes and tobacco. Based on the results of reviews from several journals, it can be seen that RNA satellite is effective against CMV infection on chili, tomato, and tobacco plants. Which can be seen by administering the CARNA vaccine to each plant treatment.

Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelagic country with a high level of population diversity such as religion, ethnicity, culture and also genetic diversity. Environmental factors also have an impact on the genetic variation and diversity of the population, including high mobility and migration triggering the tendency for inter-ethnic marriages to occur. This environmental factor is one of the reasons for research based on DNA analysis on ethnicity in Indonesia for the purpose of forensic identification. One of the DNA analyzes for forensic identification is the microsatellite DNA analysis method with a high sensitivity level.

Abstract

DNA can be obtained from all parts of the body with the same profile in each person. The oral mucosal epithelium is one of the DNA sources that is often used for individual identification because of taking it using a swab method that does not hurt the volunteers. The purpose of this study was to determine DNA polymorphism in Biology students of Class of 2022. The sample used in this study were 49 people with details, 34 female and 15 male students. After cheek mucosa was sampling, the PCR and electrophoresis was performed to see the DNA bands formed. The visible band was measured in length and calculated using a formula to see the repeatability of the D1S80 locus on the DNA band. From the 49 samples which were collected, the DNA bands were seen in 27 samples with DNA band lengths ranging from 400-600 bp. The number of bands in each sample were also different. The highest frequency of locus repetitions was 26 repetitions and the lowest was 14 repetitions.

Abstract

Dermatoglyphics is a science that studies fingerprint patterns that can be inherited genetically. Fingerprint patterns can be divided into three patterns, arch, loop, and whorl. Observation of fingerprints is used to determine fingerprint patterns and the relationship between these patterns and the fields of health, education, and criminology. Left-handed is a term for people who predominantly use their left hand as their main hand to carry out daily activities. This research aims to determine the relationship between fingerprint patterns and individuals who tend to carry out activities with the left side of their body (left-handed). The type of research carried out was descriptive research with a cross-sectional sample collection method. The sample was taken from the 2019-2022 student population of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Padang State University, totaling 100 individuals. The samples were taken in November and December. This research was carried out at the Genetics and Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Padang State University. The results of this study show that the dominant fingerprint pattern found in the left-handed individual phenotype is 16 fingerprint patterns, while normal individuals have 5 arch fingerprint patterns. This shows that there is a link between the phenotype of left-handed individuals and dermatoglyphics.

Abstract

Antrophyum is one type of the largest and most diverse of the vittarioid ferns (Pteridaceae) in tropical Asia and the Pacific Islands. The data found in the Antrophyum study is still relatively sparse because the diversity of the genus is still uncertain. ndhF gene is an inherited gene from chloroplast DNA (NADH dehydrogenase five). Chloroplast DNA controls the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and most of the proteins contained in the organelles chloroplast. Genes are commonly used in molecular studies such as the analysis of genetic variation in plants.. Genetic variation indicates that the greater the genetic variation that occurs in a population, the better its ability to adapt to the environment.. Besides that, determining genetic variation can also prevent extinction of a plant. This study aims to analyze genetic variation in the ndhF gene sequence of Antrophyum sp. NCBI PopSet 2496377569. In this study, the RFLP molecular marker was used which was carried out in silico using two restriction enzymes, PciI and ScaI.. The results of this study showed that there was no genetic variation in digestion with the restriction enzyme PciI, whereas in ScaI there was genetic variation with 3 allele variations from 23 PopSet sequences 2496377569 in NCBI.

Abstract

Dermatophyllum gypsophilum subsp. guadalupense is a rare species of flowering plant in the legume family known by the common name Guadalupe Mountain necklacepod. This plant is native to New Mexico and Texas in the United States. The rbcL gene encoding the RuBisCO protein is thought to cause this gene sequence to have a low mutation rate compared to other barcode genes in cpDNA so that the level of similarity between species is quite high. This study used restriction enzyme PciI. This study aimed to analyze genetic variation in rbcL gene sequence in Dermatophyllum gypsophilum subsp. guadalupense NCBI with PopSet 2440747772 using RFLP in silico. The results of this study showed genetic variations in the rbcL gene sequence of Dermatophyllum gypsophilum subsp. guadalupense and 8 allele variations contained in 73 gene sequences using the restriction enzyme PciI.

Abstract

Genetic diversity or genetic variation is variation that occurs in an organism due to differences in the sequence of nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine) that form DNA in cells. Variation genetics can be studied in silico using available gene sequences in the NCBI genbank database. This study used the MatK (Maturase-K) gene sequence with the identity number Popset 2440747918 which was downloaded in fasta format from NCBI . Then screening of restriction enzyme candidates was carried out to determine the restriction enzymes prior to in silico RFLP. The restriction enzyme selected from the screening was the restriction enzyme HindIII which has the recognition site A'AGC_T. The results obtained from 79 samples of DNA sequences, 76 samples were cut and 3 samples were not. And found three allele variations with the percentage of the presence of fragments A1 (86.07%), A2 (10.12%) and A3 (3.79%). The percentage values and frequencies of these A1, A2 and A3 alleles indicate a low level of genetic variation.
