We identified variations in the number of plots, stems, and species, and the size and spatial clustering of plots as potential confounding factors liable to skew dominance and diversity results from our regional datasets and impede rigorous comparisons between them. We used sample-based rarefaction ...
A high level of relative diversity in virulence patterns was observed (Shannon's index varies from 0.95 to 1.0 among clusters), reinforcing the strain-specific nature of the association of virulence factors. Although a low risk seems to be associated with the use of enterococci in long-...
An overview of the sequential steps of the study is provided in Supplementary Fig.1. We first evaluated genetic relatedness and population structure based on genome-wide SNP-array derived genotypes among the Racing breeds (Arabian, Mongolian Racing and Thoroughbred) in the context of non-Racing bre...
Genetic factors have been implicated in its etiology; however, the specific genes related to susceptibility to osteoporosis are not entirely known. To detect susceptibility genes for osteoporosis, we conducted a genome-wide association study in Japanese using ∼270,000 SNPs in 1,747 subjects (190...

Proximate factors of the intraspecific variation in molluscan shell morphology have long received attention in biology. The intertidal gastropod Monetaria annulus (Mollusca; Gastropoda; Cypraeidae) is particularly suitable for the study of variation in body size, because this species is a determinate gr...

These results indicate that digestibility of solvent-extracted SBM and its constituent nutrients for common carp may be affected by both level of inclusion and time, and that these factors must be considered when determining digestibility of protein sources for use in the formulation of experimental ...
Genetic factors modifying the blood metabolome have been investigated through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of common genetic variants and through exome sequencing. We conducted a whole-genome sequencing study of common, low-frequency and rare variants to associate genetic variations with blood...
