The Gene Ontology (GO) consists of around 40,000 terms refering to classes of biological process, cell component and gene product activity. It has been used to annotate the functions and locations of several million gene products. Much pharmacological research focuses on understanding how disease conditions differ from physiological conditions in molecular terms with the aim of finding new drug...

Diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella L. is the most injurious defoliage insect pest of canola in Ardabil province of Iran. It occurs annually and causes damage in canola fields. This study was performed to identify QTLs controlling resistance to diamondback moth using SSR and RAPD markers. An F2:4 population of 180 families derived from crossing between cv. ‘SLMO46’ and cv. ‘Quantum’ wer...

in this work‎, ‎we formulate chatterjea contractions using graphs in metric spaces endowed with a graph ‎‎and‏ ‎‎‎‎investigate ‎the ‎existence‎ ‎of ‎fixed ‎points ‎for such mappings ‎under two different hypotheses‎. we also discuss the uniqueness of the fixed point. the given result is a generalization of chatterjea's fixed point theorem from metric spaces to metric spaces endowed with a graph.

A public candidate gene testing pipeline for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation or Aspergillus flavus infection in maize is presented here. The pipeline consists of steps for identifying, testing, and verifying the association of selected maize gene sequences with resistance under field conditions. Resources include a database of genetic and protein sequences associated with the reduction in ...

Effective comparative mapping inference utilizing developing gene maps of animal species requires the inclusion of anchored reference loci that are homologous to genes mapped in the more "gene-dense" mouse and human maps. Nominated anchor loci, termed comparative anchor tagged sequences (CATS), have been ordered in the mouse linkage map, but due to the dearth of common polymorphisms among human...

Existing methods for orthologous gene mapping suffer from two general problems: (i) they are computationally too slow and their results are difficult to interpret for automated large-scale applications when based on phylogenetic analyses; or (ii) they are too prone to making mistakes in dealing with complex situations involving horizontal gene transfers and gene fusion due to the lack of a soun...

Inconsistencies between a phylogenetic tree calculated from a set of related genes and known species phylogeny may be due to duplications events in the gene family under study. Tree Mapping attempts to pinpoint gene duplications in order to explain such discrepancies. The e ort in this explanation is measured using a tree mapping measure. Very little algorithmic work has so far been invested in...
