Since the dawn of civilization, humankind has recognized the influence of heredity and applied its principles to the improvement ofcultivatedcrops and domestic animals. A Babylonian tablet more than 6,000 years old, for example, showspedigrees of horses and indicates possible inherited characteristics....
Sex determination in many fish species can be influenced by environmental variables such as temperature, salinity, and/or pH. For example, Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) has male heterogametic sex determination (XX female and XY male), but XX juveniles can develop to become functional ...
Thus, the genes identified herein are not always the complete mRNA regions (for example, there may be an insertion in NTA, NTa or N. discreta that is not inherent to N. crassa), and do not include premature stop codons, but none- theless we refer to them using the term 'genes' ...
SummaryWhen animals are selected for one specific allele, for example for inclusion in a gene bank, this may result in the loss of diversity in other parts of the genome. The aim of this study was to quantify the risk of losing diversity across the genome when targeting a single allele ...
ZGA processes are distinct according to different developmental paradigms11, and the regulation of ZGA in non-model animals remains poorly understood. Thus, the presumption of the initial state of ZGA during evolution will help in understanding the intrinsic interaction of different ZGA models. Therefor...
According to one study, 78% of alleles in the current population can be traced to 30 foundation animals, 27 of which are male. על פי מחקר אחד, 78% מן האללים באוכלוסייה הנוכחית של...
Some alleles are dominant. These show up in an organism's phenotype no matter if it is homozygous or heterozygous. For example, in humans, broad eyebrows, long eyelashes and dimples are dominant traits. Recessive traits appear when an organism has inherited two recessive alleles for a particular...
genomes using BWA for subsequent DNA sequence mapping and using HISAT2 in the presence of the individualized transcriptome for RNA sequence mapping. Diversity and dynamics of the pig transcriptome We first analyzed the RNA-Seq data without distinguishing their breed origin in the F1 hybrid animals,...
This example demonstrates that various breeds of dairy cattle can be created that do not have horns. And this change can be made without disturbing other genes, or other parts of the genome, of the animals. Single nucleotide alterations or small indels (a term meaning a replacement, insertion...
(each sample was an equimolar pool of total RNA from 3 animals, with one exception which contained only 2 animals). Every sample was sequenced on a single lane of Illumina GAII instrument, using a 50 bp paired-end sequencing module, resulting in 90–100 million pairs of reads per sample....
