Three sets of breeding experiments contribute to the present analyses. For the first breeding experiment, gametes were stripped from 16 wild genitors (8 males and 8 females) and used for block-wise full-factorial breeding with two males and two females per block. The embryos of these 16 half...
workers ofB. sylvarumand queens ofB. lapidarius. Among them,B. terrestriswas the dominant species, with a frequency of more than 75.9% (Fig.2). Workers ofB. terrestrishad a mean body length of 16.07 ± 0.63 mm, thorax thickness of 5.38 ± 0.22 mm and tongue length...
Continuous and nonparametric variables were analyzed using t-test and chi-squared test respectively. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors for AH and EC. The optimal cut-off value of ET for AH and EC was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve anal...
The top three key DeGAs components for BMI, MI, and gallstones.aThe top three key components for each phenotype are identified by phenotype squared cosine scores and characterized with the driving phenotypes by phenotype contribution scores (Methods). Each colored segment represents a phenotype with ...
and annual precipitation of 150–450 mm. The temperature and precipitation of Ulanqab increase gradually from north to south. The area has a seasonal rainfall pattern with most precipitation falling from June to September. According to Ulanqab statistical yearbook of 2017 (Ulanqab Bureau of statistics...
To estimate and compare the pattern of LD for different groups, the squared correlation coefficient (r2) between pairwise SNPs was computed using PLINK (Gao et al., 2016), with the parameters in the program set as “--ld-window-r2 0 --ld-window 99 999 --ld-window-kb 20000”. The ...
mm to 0.2 mm anterior to bregma, and did not extend ventrally or caudally into the ventral pallidum or olfactory tubercle. Damage to the ventromedial caudate-putamen was occasionally seen; damage to the nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh) was restricted to the lateral edge of the dorsal shell. ...
Principal component analysis (PCA) and kinship matrix were performed by the Tassel 5.2 program to estimate the population structure [58]. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between SNPs was estimated as the squared correlation coefficient (r2) of alleles, meanwhile the whole population and sub-populations ...
Remote enhancers are thought to interact with their target promoters via physical proximity, yet the importance of this proximity for enhancer function remains unclear. Here we investigate the three-dimensional (3D) conformation of enhancers during mammalian development by generating high-resolution tissue...
shows the emergence site of the main axon. A4: photomicrograph of a rare axonal terminal-like arborization observed at the squared region in the reconstruction. A5: the main axon emitted a single collateral that coursed ventrally and branched in the medial central region of the LHb (the ...
