Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) account for 76% of deaths in Iran, and this number is on the rise, parallel with global rates. Many risk factors associated NCDs are preventable; however, it first necessary to conduct observational studies identify relevant most appropriate approach controlling them. Iran a multiethnic country; therefore, 2014 Ministry Health Medical Education launched nationwide cohort study-Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies (PERSIAN)-in order prevalent among...

Considering the application of human genome variation databases in precision medicine, population-specific projects are continuously being developed. However, Middle Eastern population is underrepresented current databases. Accordingly, we established Iranome database (www.iranome.com) by performing whole exome sequencing on 800 individuals from eight major Iranian ethnic groups representing second largest East. We identified 1,575,702 variants which 308,311 were novel (19.6%). Also,...

Iran, despite its size, geographic location and past cultural influence, has largely been a blind spot for human population genetic studies. With only sparse information on the Iranian available, we pursued genome-wide characterization based 1021 samples from eleven ethnic groups. We show that Iranians, while close to neighboring populations, present distinct variation consistent with long-standing continuity, harbor high heterogeneity different levels of consanguinity, fall apart into...

1. This study examined biological characteristics of sexual and asexual strains the parasitoid wasp, Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshall) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). 2. Strains were reared in different instar hosts (the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae Scopoli) under identical environmental conditions (21 °C, 65–75% RH, LD 16:8 h). 3. Results showed that second aphid is most suitable growth stage for both strains, as wasps emerged from larger, more fecund, had larger egg size. Trade‐offs between...
