An evaluation of genetic markers for forensic identification of human body fluids
… in different body fluids that could be used as genetic markers for body fluid identification, and are used in forensic investigations. The aim of this study was to use mRNA markers to identify human body fluids, which included blood, semen, saliva, vaginal secretion and menstrual blood. …

Genetic variability in Douglas-fir based on molecular genetic markers and morphological traits
Genetic variability in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb) Franco) in British Columbia was assessed both by analyzing molecular genetic markers at the population level and by evaluation of quantitative traits in parent trees. Genetic variability in the natural populations of Douglas-fir in …

Is response time variability on an exogenous visual orienting task associated with specific genetic markers?
… is to acquire a better understanding of genetic associations with performance on a measure of reflexive visual attention. We have previously studied the relationship between selected genes and mean RT. This thesis reports on a new analysis of the same data which were used to examine mean …

Genetic markers in circulating tumour cells as a measure of the metastatic propensity of uveal melanoma
… propensity of the primary tumour. However, genetic testing currently requires biopsy of the eye which can lead to serious complications including permanent blindness. Therefore, an alternative source of primary tumour genetic material is needed to avoid these complications. Aims: We proposed …

Identification and characterization of genetic markers and metabolic pathways controlling net feed efficiency in beef cattle.
… have been undertaken on beef cattle to identify genetic markers for NFE and to understand the molecular genetics of feed intake regulation and energy balance. Therefore, in an attempt to identify genes and metabolic pathways controlling feed efficiency in beef cattle, three different experimental …

The tide is high: Tidally-associated genetic markers of an invasive coastal crab in the Northwest Atlantic
… extent of the relationship between environment, genetics and behavior in invasive populations. To accomplish this, I sampled Carcinus maenas adults and juveniles from an array of sites along the Northwest Atlantic coast and examined how local tidal conditions affected genetic variation and allele …

Microbial, immunological, phenotypic and genetic markers of risk: aspects of Crohn’s disease that are shared by unaffected siblings
… in specific individuals is unclear; however, a genetic predisposition is fundamental and relatives of patients with CD are at enhanced risk of developing CD. Accumulating knowledge relating to the genetic loci that predispose to CD raises the possibility of disease prediction and prevention in …

Denitrification, Dissimilatory Nitrate Reduction, and Methanogenesis in the Gut of Earthworms (Oligochaeta): Assessment of Greenhouse Gases and Genetic Markers
The earthworm gut is an anoxic microzone in aerated soils, shows a high water content and high amounts of nitrite and organic carbon. These conditions are in marked contrast to those in the pre-ingested material (i.e., substrate) and ideal for microorganisms as those capable of fermentations, for …

Identification of genetic markers associated with growth and morphology quality in senegalese sole (solea senegalensis) to boost aquaculture production
… to solve these problems but requires estimate genetic components of economically valuable traits such as those growth and morphology related under industrial conditions. By other side, the advances in genomics provide new highly powerful analysis tools to determine more accurately genetic …

DDRAD-seq based identification of genetic markers to facilitate the assessment of clonal versus sexual reproduction in dichrostachys cinerea
… time consuming. This study sought to develop a genetic based workflow to allow the detection of clonal individuals in D. cinerea. To facilitate this study, 225 D. cinerea samples were collected across the species range of D. cinerea in South Africa. DNA extracted from these samples allowed for …

Isolation of innate immune response genes, expression analysis, polymorphism identification and development of genetic markers for linkage analysis in common carp (Cyprinus carpio)
… caused by cyprinid herpesvirus-3 (CyHV-3). Genetic variation in resistance to CyHV-3 infection was observed in different common carp strains, indicating that disease resistance can be improved by selective breeding. Marker-assisted selection is a breeding strategy that can accelerate genetic …

Genetic Analysis of Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Seed Sucrose Content Using Molecular Markers in an Interspecific Glycine Cross
… for oriental soyfood production. However, little genetic information is available on this quantitative trait yet. A previous study was conducted on seed sucrose content of soybean using a population of F2-derived lines from an interspecific cross between an adapted high-sucrose (8.3%) G. max …

Map-based cloning of the NIP gene in model legume Medicago truncatula.
… the invasion by rhizobia is regulated. Previous genetic mapping placed NIP at the top of linkage group 1 of the M. truncatula genome. A NIP mapping population was established with the purpose of performing fine mapping in the region containing NIP. DNA from two M. truncatula ecotypes A17 and A20 …
