Metagenomic approaches provide access to the genetic diversity of environment for biotechnological applications, allowing discovery new enzymes and pathways numerous catalytic processes. Five putative type II CRISPR-Cas9 DNA endonucleases were identified from compost community using DELTA-BLAST algorithm. It was determined phylogenetic UPGMA analysis that four these potential are similar those ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: 2-norm Cophenetic correlation coefficient Beta diversity Dendrogram UPGMA Ward's algorithm Investigation of patterns in beta diversity has received increased attention over the last years particularly in light of new ecological theories such as the metapopulation paradigm and metacommunity theory. Traditionally , beta diversity patterns can be described by cluste...

ascochyta rabiei is one of the devastaining fungi pathogens of chick-pea (cicer arietinum l.) crops. in the present investigation, forty-two iranian isolates of ascochyta rabiei fungi (including highly, weakly and moderate virulent isolates), whose pathogenisities were determined previously, were studied. polygalacturonase is a main factor in the initiation of ascochyta blight disease. therefor...

Corylus mandshurica, also known as pilose hazelnut, is an economically and ecologically important species in China. In this study, ten polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were applied to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of 348 C. mandshurica individuals among 12 populations in China. The SSR markers expressed a relatively high level of genetic diversity (Na =...

Modeling potential disease spread in wildlife populations is important for predicting, responding to and recovering from a foreign animal disease incursion. To make spatial epidemic predictions, the target animal species of interest must first be represented in space. We conducted a series of simulation experiments to determine how estimates of the spatial distribution of white-tailed deer impa...

Aims: The aim of the study was to determine genetic diversity twenty four Boro rice landraces using genome specific twelve well known SSR markers.
 Study Design: Genomic DNA extraction, PCR amplification, Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and data analysis-these steps were followed perform research work. Data analysed with help following software; POWERMAKER version 3.25, AlphaEase...

The genetic diversity and structure of the ant Atta robusta were assessed by ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeats) in 72 colonies collected from 10 localities in the Brazilian states of Espírito Santo (48 colonies) and Rio de Janeiro (24 colonies). The ISSR pattern included 67 bands, 51 of them (76.1%) polymorphic. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed a high level (57.4%) of inter-pop...

Polymorphic expressed sequence tag - simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers derived from major cereal crops were used to assess the genetic diversity of the USDA temperate bamboo collection consisting of 92 accessions classified in 11 separate genera and 44 species. A total of 211 bands were detected with a mean number of alleles per locus of 8.440. Phylogenetic relationships were determined ...

An approach of building phylogenetic trees is to define a distance function based on amino acid sequences of distinct proteins. The aim of this approach is to determine a weighted tree topology that approximates the entire functional similarity relations between proteins, defined by a distance function. In this case – according to the definition the similarity relation has a symmetric property....
