Genetic analysis was conducted in chicken belonging to lines divergently selected for high or low frequency of skeletal defects (line H and L, respectively). The analysis was based on the DNA fingerprinting technique, using enzyme HinfI and Jeffrey’s 33.6 probe. Principal aims were: 1) to determine the effects of selection on the genetic variation within and between lines, and 2) to search for ...

Analysis of micro- and minisatellite loci is widely used in sub-typing of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Microsatellite (short sequence repeat, SSR) loci have shown highest discriminatory power, but direct sequencing of amplicons is required for correct assignment of the repeat number. We developed an alternative method to sequencing, focusing on the SSR8 locus (constituted by GGT...

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens TF28 is a biocontrol endophytic bacterium that is capable of inhibition of a broad range of plant pathogenic fungi. The strain has the potential to be developed into a biocontrol agent for use in agriculture. Here we report the whole-genome shotgun sequence of the strain. The genome size of B. amyloliquefaciens TF28 is 3,987,635 bp which consists of 3754 protein-codin...

DNA fingerprint analysis of genetic relatedness between rose genotypes, using humanderived minisatellite probes, correctly reflected relationships within and between categories of rose plants. Nearly identical DNA fingerprint patterns were observed for cultivars 'Dick Koster' and its two sports. A high level of similarity was detected between genotypes of the hybrid tea category while a low lev...

The accuracy of the atmospheric mass density is one most important factors affecting orbital precision spacecraft at low Earth orbits (LEO). Although there are a number empirical models available to use in orbit determination and prediction LEO spacecraft, all them suffer from errors various degrees. A practical way reduce error particular model calibrate using precise data or tracking data. In...
