The meta-analysis showed the population-specific impact of Pon1 rs662 on South Asian and Middle East populations and the miRNA hsa-miR-224-5p showed differential expression in the PON1 rs3917577 GG genotype.
Authentication of Balaa in selected traditional formulations using ITS2 and matK DNA barcoding markers
- T. SumaK. RavikumarA. SharmaP. RaiK. Satyamoorthy
- 25 June 2018
Medicine, Biology
Investigation on the detection of Balaa (Sida cordifolia L.) in the market formulations using Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) region and Maturase K (matK) barcoding markers using CTAB technique shows that for validating the presence of a particular species usage in the commercial formulation, complete gene sequencing of the claimed species/original species and accepted alternatives have to be made available for comparative studies.
