Kadri2, Sajad Hassan2, Maria Jeelani2 :ABSTRACT: The coliform group has been used extensively as an indicator of water quality and has historically led to the public health protection concept. The aim of the study was to evaluate the status of tap water in the Kashmir valley, and to monitor coliforms using the multiple tube method known as Most Probable Number (MPN). MPN proved highly successful when it was used to detect faecal pollution and to monitor water quality during outbreaks of water borne diseases in the valley. Total forty one towns of ten districts of three subdivisions were studied. The coliform count of tap water of Kashmir valley varied greatly. District Srinagar showed the lowest level of MPN ≤ 2/100ml of tap water. However the bacterial count of tap water of the majority of the towns exceeded the recommended permissible level of WHO. The introduction of sewage into the drinking water was the main reason for the bacterial contamination. Recycling sewage water was necessary to minimize the water borne diseases. During the study it was found that the tap water

Essential Genes And Their Role In Autism Spectrum Disorder Abstract Essential genes (EGs) play central roles in fundamental cellular processes and are required for the survival of an organism. EGs are enriched for human disease genes and are under strong purifying selection. This intolerance to deleterious mutations, commonly observed haploinsufficiency and the importance of EGs in pre- and postnatal development suggests a possible cumulative effect of deleterious variants in EGs on complex neurodevelopmental disorders. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous, highly heritable neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by impaired social interaction, communication and repetitive behavior. More and more genetic evidence points to a polygenic model of ASD and it is estimated that hundreds of genes contribute to ASD. The central question addressed in this dissertation is whether genes with a strong effect on survival and fitness (i.e. EGs) play a specific oler in ASD risk. I compiled a comprehensive catalog of 3,915 mammalian EGs by combining human orthologs of lethal genes in knockout mice and genes responsible for cell-based essentiality.

    “The Impact of ART on Genome‐Wide Oxidation of 5‐Methylcytosine and the Transcriptome During Early Mouse Development”

    “The impact of ART on genome‐wide oxidation of 5‐methylcytosine and the transcriptome during early mouse development” Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades “Doktor der Naturwissenschaften” am Fachbereich Biologie der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz Elif Diken geb. Söğütcü geb. am 22.07.1987 in Giresun-TURKEY Mainz 2016 Dekan: 1. Berichterstatter: 2. Berichterstatter: Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: Summary Summary The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has been increasing over the past three decades due to the elevated frequency of infertility problems. Other factors such as easier access to medical aid than in the past and its coverage by health insurance companies in many developed countries also contributed to this growing interest. Nevertheless, a negative impact of ART on transcriptome and methylation reprogramming is heavily discussed. Methylation reprogramming directly after fertilization manifests itself as genome-wide DNA demethylation associated with the oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in the pronuclei of mouse zygotes. To investigate the possible impact of ART particularly on this process and the transcriptome in general, pronuclear stage mouse embryos obtained upon spontaneous ovulation or superovulation through hormone stimulation representing ART were subjected to various epigenetic analyses. A whole- transcriptome RNA-Seq analysis of pronuclear stage embryos from spontaneous and superovulated matings demonstrated altered expression of the Bbs12 gene known to be linked to Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) as well as the Dhx16 gene whose zebrafish ortholog was reported to be a maternal effect gene. Immunofluorescence staining with antibodies against 5mC and 5hmC showed that pronuclear stage embryos obtained by superovulation have an increased incidence of abnormal methylation and hydroxymethylation patterns in both maternal and paternal pronuclear DNA compared to their spontaneously ovulated counterparts.

Polyuria and iso-hyposthenuria are common renal dysfunctions in BBS patients even in the presence of normal GFR. The mechanism underlying this defect is unknown and no genotype-phenotype correlation has yet been reported.
