Microsatellites for Next-Generation Ecologists: A Post-Sequencing Bioinformatics Pipeline

Microsatellites are the markers of choice for a variety of population genetic studies. The recent advent of next-generation pyrosequencing has drastically accelerated microsatellite locus discovery by providing a greater amount of DNA sequencing reads at lower costs compared to other techniques. However, laboratory testing of PCR primers targeting potential microsatellite markers remains time c...

Next-Generation Network

National Security/Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) requires effective communications supporting leadership and key staff in their access to information and their coordination of decisions. Results of testing voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) as a Next-Generation Network (NGN) application are presented and illustrate that effective NS/EP support is at risk during congestion possible in events re...

Next-Generation Network Services

face of IP-based data networks. Multimedia applications (video streaming, online gaming, and so on), social networks, and file-sharing have steadily increased the number of end users and, subsequently, the bandwidth they require to meet their application demands. Service providers are building IP-based multiservice networks for supporting the residential and corporate markets by using a common ...

Next Generation Network Management Technology

Today's telecommunications networks are becoming increasingly large, complex, mission critical and heterogeneous in several dimensions. For example, the underlying physical transmission facilities of a given network may be "mixed media" (copper, fiber-optic, radio, and satellite); the sub networks may be acquired from different vendors due to economic, performance, or general availability reaso...
