This study was conducted to determine the genetic relationships among and population history of four Nigerian indigenous goat populations. A total of 200 goats from three breeds namely Sahel (60), Red Sokoto (60), West-African dwarf (60) and Kano Brown, a strain (20), were used for the study. Tissue samples were collected from the ear of animals using an Allflex® ear punch tissue sample collect...

AbstrakEkowisata Ayunan Langit memiliki kondisi geografis yang mendukung bagi pertumbuhan anggrek, sehingga daerah tersebut diversitas anggrek alam tinggi sebagai salah satu daya tarik wisata. Beberapa spesies dapat kemiripan secara morfologi meskipun tidak berkerabat dekat. Dalam rangka pengembangan Kawasan Wisata Terpadu diperlukan data keragaman spesies-spesies di kawasan ini. Penelitian ini...

With the objective of discovering novel putative intervention sites for anticancer therapy, we compared transcriptional profiles of breast cancer, lung squamous cell cancer (LSCC), lung adenocarcinoma (LAC), and renal cell cancer (RCC). Each of these tumor types still needs improvement in medical treatment. Our intention was to search for genes not only highly expressed in the majority of patie...

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays well-defined roles in eliciting immune responses and combating infectious diseases. The major histocompatibility complex of cattle is referred to as BoLA (Bovine Lymphocyte Antigen). This genetic system is among the most polymorphic. In the present study, polymorphism of the BoLADRB3.2 locus in three Bos indicus breeds viz., Sahiwal, Rathi and Ha...

During Object-Oriented development, developers try to define classes having (i) strongly related responsibilities, i.e., high cohesion, and (ii) limited number of dependencies with other classes, i.e., low coupling [1]. Unfortunately, due to strict deadlines, programmers do not always have sufficient time to make sure that the resulting source code conforms to such a development laws [8]. In pa...

One of the most challenging analysis problems in the data mining and information retrieval domains is organizing large amounts of information. In this paper, we present a fast agglomerative clustering technique used in the Virtual Information Processing Agent Research (VIPAR) project at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This approach extends the Vector Space Model (VSM) to provide near real-ti...

It is often necessary to assume a relatively homogeneous benthic cover within a remotely sensed pixel when attempting to identify bottom type in a coral reef environment. In reality, however, with the benthic complexity common on a coral reef, there will always be mixing within a pixel given the spatial resolution of contemporary satellite imagery. It therefore becomes important to determine ho...

Microsatellites, or short sequence repeats, abound in most organisms and have proven useful for a range of genetic and genomic studies. Once primers have been created, they can be applied to populations or taxa that have diverged from the source taxon with varying degrees of success. We use PCR amplification, in a 96 well format, to determine the presence and absence of 46 microsatellite loci i...
