We observed the mating behaviour of 20 females (N = 5 in 2004; N = 15 in 2005). The mean intervals between two successive ovipositions were 5.8 ± 2.44 days. Ovipositions were initiated between 06:12 and 11:30 am. During courtship males led females to oviposition places (...
Moreover, my mother put me into programs (swim class, piano lessons) and bought me a lot of toys (which always made me immensely guilty as much as I liked them because I knew how broke we were), but with each thing came the enormous imperative to excel at school. Nothing was ever w...
Ideas evaporate easily. Constructing them again in public view, so that others can probe and query their structure and validity is a vital step if our gems are to survive. Fighting for my favourites is a classic manoeuvre of the journey home. Hammered out mid-flight, these don’t always am...
The first step within the framework is the physical analysis of products/articles, environmental samples, and/or biological samples using NTA methods (Fig. 3). Irrespective of the medium in question, no single analysis method, no matter how refined, is able to characterize the full chemical cont...
tion in molecular ecology and represents a first step to better understand the genetics behind the regulatory mechanisms involved. Although RNA-Seq represents a Whole genome sequencing (WGS) favourable strategy in many studies of gene expression it A vast majority of studies using NGS are re-...
A critical step on the analysis is the social impact that a bankruptcy of a large firm can have in the regular people. After all—bottom line—they will suffer the consequences of an economic crisis (unemployment) or a rescue plan (tax payments). ...
Both alignment programs are based on the Burrows-Wheeler[50] transformation and create SAM output format[51]. There are other tools and methods based on similar approaches[21, 22, 52]. In this case BWA was selected as the main mapping method in order to have better alignment near insertions...
The center of gene science, Natural Science Center for Basic Research and Development (N-BARD) maintained the real time PCR system Step one plus. We thank Youta Hirano for the excellent technical assistance. We also thank Dr. Tatsuo Nehira for encouraging discussions. This work was supported by...
We next performed multistep DEG analyses in NHC subclusters of MFLNs and FL by monitoring differences in gene expression between mesenteric LNs (mLNs) and peripheral LNs (pLNs) (Extended Data Fig.6a,b, Supplementary Tables13and14andSupplementary Note). We observed the greatest differences in MR...
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a breeding system that promotes cross-fertilization. In Brassica, pollen rejection is induced by a haplotype-specific interaction between pistil determinant SRK (S receptor kinase) and pollen determinant SP11 (S-locus Protein
