White lupin (Lupinus albus L.), a winter legume crop with tremendous potential as food crop, has been evaluated at Virginia State University for several years. This effort developed winter-hardy, high-yielding lines, which vary in alkaloid concentration the seeds. Current study was conducted to characterize various component of seed especially coat and cotyledon portion seeds five lines (VSU-1,...

BACKGROUND Governmental agencies in the United Kingdom and Scotland have recently instituted guidelines banning physicians' white coats and the wearing of long-sleeved garments to decrease nosocomial transmission of bacteria.

BACKGROUND Studies on the molecular genetics of horse skin pigmentation have typically focused on very few genes and proteins. In this study, we used Illumina sequencing to determine the global gene expression profiles in horses with white-colored coats and those with black-colored coats, with the goal of identifying novel genes that could regulate horse coat color. RESULTS Genes encoding rib...
