Revisiting traditional SSR based methodologies available for elephant genetic studies

Elephant Seal Movements: Some Frequency Based Studies

We studied dive patterns of northern elephant seals, that consisted of measurements of time vs. depth, by applying several time series based techniques. A primary feature of these patterns is diel variation in dive duration and maximal dive depth. Time series analysis of this variation over a two month period of continuous diving revealed an apparent cir-cadian rhythm. The consistency of this r...

Methodologies for interventional myopia studies.

Myopia studies are notoriously difficult to carry out. Past studies on intervention in myopia progression have given conflicting results. Beside inaccurate and inadequate measurements, the most important cause for this is the very variable nature of myopia, which makes it difficult to achieve baseline comparability between the control and the study group. Although there were inclusion criteria ...

Genetic Diversity Analysis of Traditional Rice Variety ̳Pachchaperumal‘ Using SSR Markers

Assessing the genetic diversity for miniaturization of crop collections to form mini core collection will lead to greater utilization of germplasm to develop improved crop cultivars along with effective maintenance of it. It has become vital to perform this for traditional Rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties when considering the arising demand for their qualities. This study was conducted to asses...

SA-SSR: a suffix array-based algorithm for exhaustive and efficient SSR discovery in large genetic sequences

UNLABELLED Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are used to address a variety of research questions in a variety of fields (e.g. population genetics, phylogenetics, forensics, etc.), due to their high mutability within and between species. Here, we present an innovative algorithm, SA-SSR, based on suffix and longest common prefix arrays for efficiently detecting SSRs in large sets of sequences. Exist...
