the domesticated silkworm, bombyx mori, is of high commercial importance as a silk producer and is also widely used for implementation of basic and applied research. it is important to understand its genome organization using molecular markers for genetic studies and for breeding purposes. in this study, a genetic linkage map using 204 amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) markers was d...

The uni1 mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii lacks one of the paired flagella seen in wild-type cells. The missing flagellum is cis to the eye spot and at this site the basal body is incomplete, lacking a transition zone. Together with nine other loci affecting flagellar assembly and two loci affecting flagellar function uni1 defines an approximately equal to 100-centimorgan linkage group with ...

A genetic linkage map of the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) was constructed from 174 microsatellite markers, including 145 new markers reported in this study. The mapping panel was derived from farmed sea bass from the North Adriatic Sea and consisted of a single family including both parents and 50 full-sib progeny (biparental diploids). A total of 162 microsatellites were mapped in ...

Homologous portions of linkage group (LG) VI in the rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, chromosome 8 in Mus musculus, and LG V of Rattus norvegicus have been observed. These linkage groups in Oryctolagus and Mus contain the extension locus (e), where recessive alleles are known in many species. Preliminary linkage data have added new loci to linkage group VI of the rabbit, revised the order and map d...

Geometric optical reflectance models provide a physical linkage between image data and forest structure. We developed a “Multiple-Forward-Mode” pseudoinversion modeling approach to produce structural lookup tables for Landsat Thematic Mapper images before and after 1993 partial harvests in New Brunswick Canada. Modeling results validated for stand density, crown radius, and stem counts enabled ...

This research demonstrates that language models are a sound and effective foundation on which to build large-scale, distributed information systems for government applications. It contributes to providing an alternative to human-generated metadata for locating information resources. Manual indexing is expensive, and studies show that people are inconsistent and inaccurate when doing indexing, w...

We investigated how technologically mediating two different components of emotion-communicative expression and physiological state-to group members affects physiological linkage and self-reported feelings in a small group during video viewing. In different conditions the availability of second screen text chat (communicative expression) and visualization of group level physiological heart rates...

HE formal genetics of flour beetles of the genus Tribolium is still in its infancy. Although these organisms have found a habitat in the laboratories of the ecologist, the quantitative geneticist, and more recently, the population biologist (KING and DAWSON 1972) their use has been restricted by the availability of only a limited number of reliable mutants and further hampered by a meager knowl...
