Transposons and their application in plant pathology

Prokaryote, viruses, and eukaryotes chromosomes contain fragments of DNA can move and migrate to other parts of the chromosome calling as Transposition and play an important role in new combinations of gene production. DNA fragments carrier the genes or transposons are the transposable elements that may called gene mutant also. Transposons can move to another position of the same chromosome or ...

A summer school in Catania

In the summer of 1997 we ran the PRAGMATIC summer school in Catania. After many different thoughts about the format, we decided to try an experiment: We made a list of 18 research problems (reproduced below) and handed it out on the first day of class. Early in the first week we went through the list briefly explaining the background of the problems, and asked each student to choose a problem t...

Fields Summer School on Approximability of CSPs

These lectures will be about the approximability of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Definition 1.1. Let D be a domain of cardinality q. We usually write D = {0,1,2, . . . , q − 1} and often call the elements of D labels. Let Γ be a nonempty finite set of nontrivial relations (predicates) over D, with each R ∈ Γ having arity ar(R) ≤ k. We usually write an r-ary relation as R : Dr → {0,1...

The Gatsby Plant Science Summer School: inspiring the next generation of plant science researchers.

We provide evidence from a 5-year study to show that a single concerted effort at the start of undergraduate study can have a clear and lasting effect on the attitudes of students toward plant science. Attendance at a week-long residential plant science summer school in the first year of an undergraduate degree resulted in many students changing courses to include more plant science and increas...
