Genetic identity and ecology of Bryde's whales in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand
… from boat-based opportunistic surveys and genetic analyses of samples from living and 'stranded’ whales. Samples from 'stranded’ Bryde’s whales have been collected since 1994 from the North Island of New Zealand. In addition, biopsy samples were collected from whales in the Hauraki Gulf. …

Advanced technologies for spatio-temporal control of neural circuits using optogenetics
… to optically control the neural activity of genetically targeted cells with techniques known as optogenetic stimulation. The combination of optogenetic stimulation methods with electrophysiological recordings and advanced optical imaging is leading to promising approaches aiming at obtaining …

Some effects of subdivision of finite populations on genetic diversity measures
<p>Random genetic drift and mutation in subdivided populations are considered in terms of the infinite-alleles Wright-Fisher model.;Moments of the multidimensional frequency spectrum of order n correspond to probabilities of identity for n genes drawn from specified subpopulations. Recursions are …

Electrophoretic, Morphometric, and Meristic Comparisons of Walleye Broodstock in South Dakota
… stocks. A dendogram derived from Nei unbiased genetic identity values produced separate branchings for the South Dakota and Mississippi River walleyes. All four walleye stocks in South Dakota were morphologically variable, although no one character could be used as a diagnostic tool to separate …

The psychological impact of carrier status in hereditary disorders
… examine autosomal recessive illnesses, wherein genetic responsibility is shared by both parents, the present study samples women at risk of being sole carriers of an X-linked hereditary disorder, Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Previous research most often assessed global self-esteem, thus problems …

Systematics of Eastern North American Bracken Fern
… varieties. Isozyme data indicated a high mean genetic identity (I = 0.976) between eleven bracken populations. Strong patterns of geographic variation for isozyme allele frequencies were also observed. The isozyme results did not separate the two taxa. Numerical analysis of the morphology …

Evaluation of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA and Simple Sequence Repeat markers in Moringa oleifera (Lam.) to establish population diversity
… There is however limited knowledge regarding the genetic variation of both native and introduced populations of Moringa, although phenotypic observations suggest the presence of significant genetic diversity. To do this we used Moringa collections from different locations including India, South …

Emancipating Madame Butterfly: Intention and process in adapting and queering a text
… seek to identify the essence of the story – its ‘genetic identity’ in terms of both theme and plot – from which I will create my new version. Crucially, the thesis is written from my perspective as a practitioner, and maintains focus on my intention in embarking on the adaptation project. The …

Incidence, Distribution and Characteristics of Major Tomato Leaf Curl and Mosaic Virus Diseases in Uganda
… and deoxyribonucleic acid tomato viruses. Genetic identity for one main virus disease was investigated. Serological and molecular techniques, i.e. DAS-ELISA (Clerk and Adams, 1977), TAS-ELISA (Macintosh et al., 1992), DNA hybridization (Czosnek et al., 1988), and PCR (Navot et al., 1992; …

The molecular epidemiology of bluetongue virus in northern Colorado
… Field isolates were characterized by phylogenetic analysis of sequence data from three genome segments (L2, S7, and S10). The viral isolates showed a degree of genetic identity inconsistent with other hypotheses concerning the overwintering mechanism of BTV. In addition, RT-PCR and Northern …

The development of a new genetic test for grapevine cultivars using a computational genomics approach
… while some have the same name but are genetically different (homonym) or having different names but are genetically identical (synonyms). Genetic tests based on the use of simple single repeat (SSR), or short tandem repeats (STR) markers have been developed to determine the genetic …

Embryogenic response of potato anther culture to colchicine
… plants. An additional study, analysis of genetic identity among regenerated anther-derived plants based on RAPD markers, was also conducted. Anther culture of a hybrid between <i>Solanum chacoense</i> and <i>S. phureja</i> (clone CP2) was conducted with five colchicine treatments (0, 25, …
