Development and Evaluation of a Genome-Wide 6K SNP Array for Diploid Sweet Cherry and Tetraploid Sour Cherry

High-throughput genome scans are important tools for genetic studies and breeding applications. Here, a 6K SNP array for use with the Illumina Infinium® system was developed for diploid sweet cherry (Prunus avium) and allotetraploid sour cherry (P. cerasus). This effort was led by RosBREED, a community initiative to enable marker-assisted breeding for rosaceous crops. Next-generation sequencing...

Sweet and sour: unraveling diabetic vascular disease.

Diabetes is the epidemic of the 21st century.1 Rare in the past, diabetes has grown into an increasingly common disease both in developed countries and most recently also in the third world. The most important factor for this unforeseen trend appears to be the increase in body weight around the world attributable to the changes in lifestyle over the last decades.2 It is likely that the increasi...

Tight glucose control: sweet or sour?

Introduction: The debate about the potential benefi ts of tight glucose control in intensive care patients has been ongoing since the exciting initial single-center study by Van den Berghe et al. [1], which demonstrated reduced mortality in patients managed according to a protocol aimed at maintaining blood glucose between 80 and 110 mg/dL compared with the then-standard goal of less than 215 m...
