A short fragment of mt DNA from the cytochrome c oxidase 1 (CO1) region was used to provide the first CO1 barcodes for 37 species of Canadian mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) from the provinces Ontario and New Brunswick. Sequence variation was analysed in a 617-bp fragment from the 5' end of the CO1 region. Sequences of each mosquito species formed barcode clusters with tight cohesion that were ...

DNA barcoding systems employ a short, standardized gene region to identify species. A 648-bp segment of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (CO1) is the core barcode region for animals, but its utility has not been tested in fungi. This study began with an examination of patterns of sequence divergences in this gene region for 38 fungal taxa with full CO1 sequences. Because these results sugge...

Nuclear-localized mtDNA pseudogenes might explain a recent report describing a heteroplasmic mtDNA molecule containing five linked missense mutations dispersed over the contiguous mtDNA CO1 and CO2 genes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. To test this hypothesis, we have used the PCR primers utilized in the original report to amplify CO1 and CO2 sequences from two independent rho degrees (mt...

CONSTANS (CO) is an important flowering-time gene in the photoperiodic flowering pathway of annual Arabidopsis thaliana in which overexpression of CO induces early flowering, whereas mutations in CO cause delayed flowering. The closest homologs of CO in woody perennial poplar (Populus spp.) are CO1 and CO2. A previous report showed that the CO2/FLOWERING LOCUS T1 (FT1) regulon controls the onse...

Although a mitochondrial DNA barcode has been shown to be of great utility for species identification and discovery in an increasing number of diverse taxa, caution has been urged with its application to one of the most taxonomically diverse vertebrate groups - the amphibians. Here, we test three of the perceived shortcomings of a CO1 DNA barcode's utility with a group of Holarctic amphibians: ...

In this study, we sequenced fragments of cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1), internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1), and internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) genes from 150 specimens belonging to 16 species of the ant genus Formica from China. Odontoponera transversa from Ponerinae and Polyergus samurai from Formicinae were added as distant relative and close relative outgroups, respectively. Nei...

We study a self-dual N = 1 super vertex operator algebra, denoted A, and prove that the full symmetry group is Conway’s largest sporadic simple group Co1. We verify a uniqueness result for A which is analogous to that conjectured to characterize the Moonshine vertex operator algebra V . The action of Co1 on A is sufficiently transparent that one can derive explicit expressions for the McKay-Tho...

The synthesis and characterization of mononuclear Co(II) complex based on 3,5-dimethyl-4-amino-1H-pyrazole are reported. IR UV/Vis spectroscopy the described. synthesis, results IR, NMR elemental analysis also X-ray [Co(C5H9N3)2Cl2] reveals that cobalt atom has a tetrahedral coordination environment formed by two nitrogen atoms belonging to ligands [Co1–N1 = 2.005(3) Co1–N5 2.006(3)Å] chlorine ...

To expand our knowledge of electronic structures and magnetic properties for ferromagnetic shape memory Co-Ni-Al alloys, which undergo a thermoelastic martensitic transformation from a B2 to an L10 structure, we have performed first-principles band calculations for the composition of Co:Ni:Al = 1:1:1, i.e., (Co1=3Ni2=3)(Co1=3Al2=3) and (Ni1=3Co2=3)(Ni1=3Al2=3). Their electronic structures have ...
