The road that led to the publication of the oil palm genome sequence was a long and adventurous one. It began with the generation of expressed sequence tags in the late 1990s. This paved the way for the identification of oil palm genes expressed in different tissues and development stages. ...
The availability of well-assembled genome sequences and reduced sequencing costs have enabled the resequencing of many additional accessions in several crops, thus facilitating the rapid discovery and development of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Although the genome sequence of inbred spinach line...
We identified the date palm ortholog ofVIRand present phylogenetic analysis that indicates it is most closely related to theVIRgene in oil palm (Fig. 6b). Interestingly, we observed that theVIRallele present in the cv. Khalas reference genome (NCBI Gene IDLOC103717680) has acopia-like long t...
To identify the position of cassette insertion in the genome, genome walking PCR was carried out using a modified protocol of the commercial Genome WalkerTMkit (Clontech). In brief, DNA (1 μg) was digested using restriction enzymesFspI,NaeI,PmlI,PvuII, orSmaI (New-England Labs). Digeste...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified associations between thousands of common genetic variants and human traits. However, common variants usually explain a limited fraction of the heritability of a trait. A powerful resource for identif
Whole-room indirect calorimeters (WRICs) have traditionally been used for real-time resting metabolic rate (RMR) measurements, while metabolic rate (MR) during short-interval exercises has commonly been measured by metabolic carts (MCs). This study aims to investigate the feasibility of incorporating...
[37]. S. cerevisiae protein sequences from the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) were used as bait (Additional file 5: Table S2). Geotrichum candidum gene sequences were obtained from the complete genome sequence (Morel et al., in preparation). Sequence alignments were generated using MUSCLE...
Popular super-resolution methods include stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy2, structured illumination microscopy (SIM)3, and single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) techniques such as stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM)4, 5 and photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM)...
