A genome-wide set of congenic mouse strains derived from CAST/Ei on a C57BL/6 background

A genome-wide set of congenic mouse strains derived from CAST/Ei on a C57BL/6 background.

We previously reported the construction of two sets of heterozygous congenic strains spanning the mouse genome. For both sets, C57BL/6J was employed as the background strain while DNA from either DBA/2 or CAST/Ei was introgressed to form the congenic region. We have subsequently bred most of these strains to produce homozygous breeding stocks. Here, we report the characterization of the strain ...

A genome-wide set of congenic mouse strains derived from DBA/2J on a C57BL/6J background.

In the analysis of complex traits, congenic strains are powerful tools because they allow characterization of a single locus in the absence of genetic variation throughout the remainder of the genome. Here, we report the construction and initial characterization of a genome-wide panel of congenic strains derived from the donor strain DBA/2J on the background strain C57BL/6J. For many strains, w...

a study on the design of bio-ethanol process from date wastes of sistan and baluchistan province

اتانول کاربردهای متنوعی در صنایع لاستیک سازی، رنگسازی، حلالها ومکمل سوخت خودرو دارد. اتانول برخلاف نفت از جمله مواد تجدیدپذیر محسوب می شود که مشکلات زیست محیطی و آلودگی نیز ایجاد نمی کند. استفاده از اتانول به عنوان مکمل سوختخودروها از جمله مهمترین مصارف صنعتی این ماده بشمار می رود. با توجه به این موضوع تحقیق و توسعه در زمینه تولید اتانول با درجه خلوص بالا در سطح جهان، و نه تنها در کشور های پیشر...

A cautionary note on ignoring polygenic background when mapping quantitative trait loci via recombinant congenic strains

In gene mapping, it is common to test for association between the phenotype and the genotype at a large number of loci, i.e., the same response variable is used repeatedly to test a large number of non-independent and non-nested hypotheses. In many of these genetic problems, the underlying model is a mixed model consistent of one or very few major genes concurrently with a genetic background ef...
