Positional cloning is the approach of choice for the identification of genetic mutations underlying the pathological development of complex genetic diseases like autism. Such genes can be identified using carriers of a chromosomal rearrangement which goes along with the sequencing of novel candidate genes. We report here the positional cloning of a reciprocal translocation associated with an autistic phenotype. We mapped the translocation breakpoints by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

Rats of the experimental group were each given 600 mg/kg of S.

According to the current water crisis and spend more than 94 percent of water in agriculture the mechanized irrigation systems, and revised the actual plant water estimation are needed it is facilitate to predict rainfall in the growing season. In the design of irrigation systems should be noted that the total rainfall occurred was not available for plant and part of the rainfall runoff and part of it penetrate to soil and only part of it that is called effective rainfall is able to disappear plant water stress and influence plant growing.
