Iran is a part of the secondary centre of origin of melons, and therefore, there is a wealth of genetic variation of these species in this country. The Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) marker was applied to investigate the genetic variations among five major Iranian melon cultigens (Cucumis melo) and ‘Ananasi’ as a general well-known cultivar. Ten primer pairs were used on 90 indiv...

Population genetic compositions of the three largest spawning groups of Lake Erie walleyes Sander vitreus (Maumee River, Sandusky River, and Van Buren Bay reefs) were tested for temporal and spatial consistency across 14 years using nine nuclear DNA microsatellite loci from 726 adult walleyes collected in 1995, 1998, 2003, 2007, and 2008. Previous genetic work focused on a one-time “snapshot”; ...

Patterns of modern human population structure are helpful in understanding the history of human migration and admixture. We conducted a study on genetic structure of the Malay population in Malaysia, using 54,794 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism genotype data generated in four Malay sub-ethnic groups in peninsular Malaysia (Melayu Kelantan, Melayu Minang, Melayu Jawa and Melayu Bugis)...

We describe an implementation of a genetic algorithm on partially commutative groups and apply it to the double coset search problem on a subclass of groups. This transforms a combinatorial group theory problem to a problem of combinatorial optimisation. We obtain a method applicable to a wide range of problems and give results which indicate good behaviour of the genetic algorithm, hinting at ...

Genetic ancestry is seen as an alternative to the problematic concept of race and positioned against abusive racist nationalist perspectives. The genetic nevertheless not free racial categorizations. Increasingly, it becoming integral part identity politics. promoted a way give visibility marginalized groups but also rejected form biocolonialism. In xenophobic discourses right-wing groups, has ...

thirty five monoconidial isolates of the fungal culture collection pyricularia grisea were examined, to identify the vegetative compatibility groups and characterize the genetic diversity of isolates as through rep-pcr genomic fingerprinting. the isolates were collected from ricefields during 1997-1999. genetic diversity of p. grisea isolates was studied as based on dna fingerprinting through r...

the genetic diversity of 40 tobacco (nicotiana tabacum l.) cultivars was analyzed using 12 issr primers. thecultivars were evaluated for 14 traits using a simple lattice design (7×7) with two replications. of 149 amplified bands, 142 (95.3%) were polymorphic. maximum and minimum bands were generated by primers ubc825 (17 bands and 94.11% polymorphic) and ubc824 (7 bands and 100% polymorphic), r...
