A Transcriptome Post-Scaffolding Method for Assembling High Quality Contigs
(Hindawi Publishing Corp, 2014-05-28)
With the rapid development of high throughput sequencing technologies, new transcriptomes can be sequenced for little cost with high coverage. Sequence assembly approaches have been modified to meet the requirements for ...
LAT Region Factors Mediating Differential Neuronal Tropism of HSV-1 and HSV-2 Do Not Act in Trans
(PLOS, 2012-12-31)
After HSV infection, some trigeminal ganglion neurons support productive cycle gene expression, while in other neurons the virus establishes a latent infection. We previously demonstrated that HSV-1 and HSV-2 preferentially ...
A VP26-mNeonGreen Capsid Fusion HSV-2 Mutant Reactivates from Viral Latency in the Guinea Pig Genital Model with Normal Kinetics
(MDPI, 2018-05-01)
Fluorescent herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are invaluable tools for localizing virus in cells, permitting visualization of capsid trafficking and enhancing neuroanatomical research. Fluorescent viruses can also be used to ...
Association of Polymorphisms in the Period3 (turPer3) Gene with Growth and Reproductive Traits in Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo)
Background and objective: Biological clock controls behavioral, physiological and biochemical circadian rhythms of animals. Circadian clock genes including period3 are involved in the circadian clock mechanism. The present ...
Mosquito-Borne Viruses and Suppressors of Invertebrate Antiviral RNA Silencing
(MDPI, 2014-11-11)
The natural maintenance cycles of many mosquito-borne viruses require establishment of persistent non-lethal infections in the invertebrate host. While the mechanisms by which this occurs are not well understood, antiviral ...
Comparative physical genome mapping of malaria vectors Anopheles sinensis and Anopheles gambiae
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2017-06-05)
Background Anopheles sinensis is a dominant natural vector of Plasmodium vivax in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. Recent genome sequencing of An. sinensis provides important insights into the genomic basis of vectorial ...
A standard photomap of ovarian nurse cell chromosomes and inversion polymorphism in Anopheles beklemishevi
(2018-03-27)
Abstract
Background
Anopheles beklemishevi is a member of the Maculipennis group of malaria mosquitoes that has the most northern distribution among other members of the ...
Differential responses of grain yield, grain protein content and their associated traits to nitrogen supply in soft red winter wheat
Increased application of nitrogen fertilizers has significantly raised grain yield and protein concentration in wheat. However, only 30–50% of applied fertilizer nitrogen are usually utilized by the plant. In this study, ...
Protecting soymilk flavor and nutrients from photodegradation.
(Wiley, 2015-07)
Five different packaging treatments were studied over a 36-day period to determine if they protected soymilk from photo-oxidation. Soymilk was packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with and without light ...
Insertion polymorphisms of SINE200 retrotransposons within speciation islands of Anopheles gambiae molecular forms
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2008-08-25)
Background SINEs (Short INterspersed Elements) are homoplasy-free and co-dominant genetic markers which are considered to represent useful tools for population genetic studies, and could help clarifying the speciation ...
