It consists of two chains, mainly alpha and beta chain. The globin genes are used as a model system to study gene expression in various eukaryotic organisms. Moreover, these genes controls the gene regulation process. Mutations in these genes can cause destruction in various regulatory pathways encoded by beta globin genes. The introns in beta globin genes mostly interrupts the sequence between codons 30-31 and between codons 104-105. The study involves a comparative genomics approach for identification and analysis of selected human beta globin gene (HBB) by using various computational tools. The nucleotide sequence of HBB gene was obtained from Genbank-NCBI and analyzed to study the transcripts within the coding region of gene by using ensemble software. These transcript maps will help to understand the regulatory features of genes, splice variants and putative indels in the reading frame. Also, the protein encoded by coding region of HBB gene was further analyzed to study various protein domains, profiles and signatures. This was done by using Interpro and CDD domain analysis software. The results are presented along with the proposed utilization of the studied gene. Comparative approaches are not only useful for evolutionary analysis but also can help to understand the function of various conserved genes.","PeriodicalId":148827,"journal":{"name":"Lahore Garrison University Journal of Life Sciences","volume":"389 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122722293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extracts were 40-50% serially diluted and different concentrations were obtained. Sterile strips were dipped in different concentrations of garlic and ginger. Strips were placed on petri plates containing fungus culture. After 24-48 hours incubation at 37 oC, antifungal zones of different diameter were obtained and measured in different plates. The results showed that garlic is more effective in its antifungal activity than ginger. The study demonstrated the potent activity of garlic against tested fungi which encourages its use as a suitable alternative drug for controlling fungal food spoilage. Since garlic is an herbal product with no known side-effects on human healthiest active ingredients may serve as safe food preservatives. This can ultimately increase the shelf life and also maintain the quality of preserved food. Purification and formulation of the garlic would give a true antifungal activity comparable to standard antifungal drugs., , antifungal activity,, ","PeriodicalId":148827,"journal":{"name":"Lahore Garrison University Journal of Life Sciences","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114513367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cockroaches were trapped from house sewerage of Lahore, Pakistan in March 2016 and bacteria were isolated from external as well as internal part of cockroach. For isolation from internal colon part of digestive tract were serially diluted and selected (IM1 and IM3) from bacterial growth on agar plates while isolates from external surfaces of cockroach were selected by surface swabbing (EM4, EM5 and EM6). Morphological and biochemical characterization of isolates showed diverse morphology. The auto aggregation was recorded in all isolates after 4 hours of culture incubation. Results of hydrophobicity assay showed that isolates IM1, IM3, EM5 showed 98.09 %, 80.5 %, 90.33 % affinity towards toluene, respectively. Bacteria commonly associated with common pests, cockroaches showed the tendency to adhere to different biotic and abiotic surfaces. Isolate IM3 showed 35 % auto-aggregation after 4 hours while isolate EM4 showed 47 % aggregation as compared to rest of isolates. Result showed that on the basis of bacterial cell surface hydrophobicity and auto aggregation tendency of cells towards adherence and aggregation on host increases.","PeriodicalId":148827,"journal":{"name":"Lahore Garrison University Journal of Life Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129175855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A case study on 204 patients was carried out at Fatimid Foundation Lahore. The objective of the current study was to investigate the prevalence of the disease in patients related to physical and socio-demographic aspects. The questionnaire was designed to collect the information on factors regarding the gender, age, weight, height, blood group, Hb level, ferritin level, age at the diagnosis, age at the first transfusion, complications associated with the disease and some information was collected from parents relating their education, awareness about disease and their relation. Descriptive and analytical analysis were performed by using numbers & percentages, Chi- Square, Phi and V values, Kendall’s Tau-B techniques. Descriptive analysis showed that disease is more common in males (61.3%) and risk factor blood group observed where (91.6%) patients had positive blood groups. Consanguinity was found to be a great risk factor. In bivariate analysis factors age group, caste, Splenectomy, enlarged liver, patients’ education, hepatitis C are found to be significantly associated with the gender and blood transfusion in a month, ferritin level, bones problem and hepatitis Care associated with age. It has observed from the results that thalassemia is an inherited blood disease and can be prevented by creating awareness in people of our country.","PeriodicalId":148827,"journal":{"name":"Lahore Garrison University Journal of Life Sciences","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114682850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
