Homogenization of Chromosomes Revealed by Oligonucleotide-Stickiness

Homogenization of Chromosomes Revealed by Oligonucleotide-Stickiness

Genomic DNA contains sequences that are relics of evolution together with functional protein sequences and regulatory operands. The mutual relationship of chromosomes that constitute the genome is of interest from the viewpoint of evolution as well as from that of systems biology. Chromosome origin, the frequency of chromosomal alteration, and the nature of these alterations can be addressed by...

Characterization of stickiness by means of recurrence.

We propose recurrence plots (RPs) to characterize the stickiness of a typical area-preserving map with coexisting chaotic and regular orbits. The difference of the recurrence properties between quasiperiodic and chaotic orbits is revisited, which helps to understand the complex patterns of the corresponding RPs. Moreover, several measures from the recurrence quantification analysis are used to ...

Separation of lentil root tip chromosomes by colchicine

Evaluation of cotton fibers stickiness by colorimetric method

Stickiness is the physical process of contaminated lint adhering to equipment. The degree of stickiness depends on chemical identity, quantity, and distribution of the sugars. The sugar in cotton fibers may be insect or plant derived. There are several methods for measuring cotton fibers stickiness. In this work, a colorimetric method was used for the measurements. In the method, honeydew was c...

Genetic diversity of Iranian melon cultigens revealed by AFLP markers

Iran is a part of the secondary centre of origin of melons, and therefore, there is a wealth of genetic variation of these species in this country. The Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) marker was applied to investigate the genetic variations among five major Iranian melon cultigens (Cucumis melo) and ‘Ananasi’ as a general well-known cultivar. Ten primer pairs were used on 90 indiv...
