Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is one of the most economically, medicinally and nutritionally important tropical fruit crops. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) derived simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are more valuable as they are derived from conserved genic portion. Development of EST-SSRs markers through in silico approach is cheaper, less time consuming and labour-intensive. In this study, we a...

a reliable dna extraction method for use on extra virgin olive oil based on a commercial kit was defined, and the possibility of using this dna for fingerprinting the original cultivar was demonstrated. the genetic traceability of single-cultivar virgin olive oil from two cultivars (carolea and frantoio) was achieved by identifying the varieties from which they were produced. this involved the ...

Simple sequence repeat (SSRs) of DNA are subject to high rates of mutation and are important mediators of adaptation in Haemophilus influenzae. Previous studies of the Rd KW20 genome identified the primacy of tetranucleotide SSRs in mediating phase variation (the rapid reversible switching of gene expression) of surface exposed structures such as lipopolysaccharide. The recent sequencing of the...

The analysis of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and bulk ground samples by droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) was investigated as an alternative to individual kernel testing for assessing the presence local cultivars in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varietal blends. recent Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) ‘Pan Galego’ (Galician bread) requires that flour comprise a mi...

Abstract Durian Kura-kura ( Durio testudinarius Becc.) belongs to the Malvaceae family and is an endemic species of Borneo. Recently, genomic-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches have been carried out for germplasm conservation plant breeding programs. The NGS technologies allow genomes be sequenced quickly inexpensively enable efficient development SSR markers through in-silico ap...

EST-derived simple sequence repeat markers (EST-SSRs) are important tools for studies on genetic diversity, phylogeny, evolution, comparative genomics, QTL analysis, and gene-based associations. We have searched the literature known EST-SSRs used Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) – one of world’s major forest species. Then, 91 102 suggested were manually aligned against reference genome Pinus ta...

To explore the present status of prosociality among undergraduates and its major relevant factors. A stratified random sampling was used to select 1109 undergrauates from 10 full-time colleges in Guangdong province. They were investigated with Prosocial Tendencies Measure (PTM), Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) , Moral Disengagement Questionnaire (MDQ), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). T...

Purpose: The current study investigates the social and intellectual functioning of young children with NF-1. Previous research has largely focused on older children and adults. Background & Significance: Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1) is a genetic autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in 3,000 people. Individuals diagnosed with NF-1 may experience physical symptoms such as c...

Microsatellites or Single Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are extensively employed in plant genetics studies, using both low and high throughput genotyping approaches. Motivated by the importance of these sequences over the last decades this review aims to address some theoretical aspects of SSRs, including definition, characterization and biological function. The methodologies for the development of S...
