چکیده

COVER Young whooping cranes (Grus americana) follow an ultralight aircraft. Each year, endangered whooping cranes are reared in captivity and artifi cially trained by ultralight aircraft on their fi rst lifetime migration from Wisconsin to Florida. Analyses of data from subsequent unaided migration events show that migratory performance improves over many years and that social learning from older birds plays an important role. See page 999.

The Pattern of Linkage Disequilibrium in Livestock Genome

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is bases of genomic selection, genomic marker imputation, marker assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, parentage testing and whole genome association studies. The Particular alleles at closed loci have a tendency to be co-inherited. In linked loci this pattern leads to association between alleles in population which is known as LD. Two metr...

Comparison between conventional PCR and PCR - ELISA for detection of Brucella melitensis

Molecular detection techniques are believed to be key tools for both prevention and treatment follow up of brucellosis within live stock and human beings. Consequently rapid, reliable, easy to perform and automated systems for Brucella detection are urgently needed to allow early diagnosis and adequate antibiotic therapy in time. Brucellosis is a worldwide re-emerging zoonosis causing high econ...

Efficient Algorithms for Optimizing Whole Genome Alignment with Noise

Given the genomes (DNA) of two related species, the whole genome alignment problem is to locate regions on the genomes that possibly contain genes conserved over the two species. Motivated by existing heuristic-based software tools, we initiate the study of optimization problems that attempt to uncover conserved genes with a global concern. Another interesting feature in our formulation is the ...
