Hynobius amjiensis was considered as one of the 29 most threatened amphibian in China. To effectively conserve, manage and recover population this critically endangered species, 33 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were developed using double digest restriction-site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing. The minor allele frequency per locus ranged from 0.0161 to 0.5000. observed heterozy...

In English, Italian La recente introduzione dell'endoscopia tridimensionale nella chirurgia endonasale è stata accolta con favore con l'aspettativa di superare la principale limitazione dell'endoscopia, ovvero la mancanza di visione stereoscopica. Questa innovazione

Building a map of restriction sites from double-digest gel data can be a complex and frustrating task, especially when many DNA fragments are detected or when the gel results are ambiguous. 'Double Digester' is an interactive, graphical computer program which helps researchers understand and resolve such data. It explicitly represents the experimental data, the associated uncertainties, the res...

This paper investigates one of the most severe routing attacks in sensor networks, namely sinkhole attack. A compromised node tries to draw all or as much traffic as possible from a particular area, by making it look attractive to the surrounding nodes with respect to the underlying routing metric. The detection of sinkhole attack in wireless sensor networks is proposed using an enhanced double...

Human SNM1A and SNM1B/Apollo have both been implicated in the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) by cellular studies, and SNM1B is also required for telomere protection. Here, we describe studies on the biochemical characterization of the SNM1A and SNM1B proteins. The results reveal some fundamental differences in the mechanisms of the two proteins. Both SNM1A and SNM1B digest double-...

The authors of this paper note that although ‘there is general agreement that primary care is the linchpin of effective health care delivery’ there are no systematic reviews of the evidence which may support this. This study aimed to identify the core dimensions of primary care, assessing the evidence for their relation with and relevance to outcomes. Kringos DS, Boerma WGW, Hutchinson A, van d...

Fruit firmness and crispness are important traits of cucumber because they directly affect its commercial value. We performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis these fruit texture with the double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD-Seq) technique detected 31 QTLs for firmness: 11 placenta firmness, 12 skin 8 flesh firmness; 25 crispness-related scores: 10 index, appar...
