The benefit of using genomic breeding values (GEBV) in predicting ADG, DMI, and residual feed intake for an admixed population was investigated. Phenotypic data consisting of individual daily feed intake measurements for 721 beef cattle steers tested over 5 yr was available for analysis. The animals used were an admixed population of spring-born steers, progeny of a cross between 3 sire breeds ...

The mud shrimp Upogebia major (Crustacea, Decapoda, Gebiidea) (De Haan, 1841) is an ecological keystone species widely distributed in waters. It has contributed significantly to the maintenance of coastal benthic biodiversity as ecosystem engineer. However, there still a lack effective molecular markers effectively protect and manage this species. In study, we used DNeasy Blood & Tissue kit ext...

Abstract Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip technologies are the primary SNP genotyping used today. However, these have some drawbacks that limit their usefulness in analysis. We developed a robust protocol called multiplexed (GMS) using markers, providing informative genotypic data with greater flexibility. The genotypes derived from direct sequence re...

Human choline dehydrogenase (CHDH) is a transmembrane protein located in mitochondria. CHDH has been shown to be one of the important catalytic enzymes that catalyze oxidation betaine and involved mitochondrial autophagy after damage. In recent years, an increasing number studies have focused on found close association with pathogenesis various diseases, including tumor prognosis. Here we summa...

Background Knowledge about single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers is extremely important in the development of genotyping assays, allowing improvements in plant breeding through marker-assisted selection. With the emergence of next generation sequencing platforms, high-density SNP discovery in the genome of plant crops becomes more achievable. In this project, we carried out whole genome ...

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is an important forage plant worldwide. This study was directed to broadening current knowledge of red clover's coding regions and enhancing its utilization in practice by specific reanalysis of previously published assembly. A total of 42,996 genes were characterized using Illumina paired-end sequencing after manual revision of Blast2GO annotation. Genes were cl...

SKM-SNP, SNP markers detection program, is proposed to identify a set of relevant SNPs for the association between a disease and multiple marker genotypes. We employ a subspace categorical clustering algorithm to compute a weight for each SNP in the group of patient samples and the group of normal samples, and use the weights to identify the subsets of relevant SNPs that categorize these two gr...
