UNLABELLED Restriction endonucleases are indispensable tools in molecular biology and biotechnology. Type II restriction endonucleases are part of restriction modification systems. DNA fragment extraction and restriction mapping are the basis for several biotechnological activities. WebFARM is a server application for identifying restriction endonuclease recognition sites and to give informatio...

Symbolic knowledge extraction from mapping/extrapolating neural networks is presented in the paper. An algorithm to obtain crisp rules in the form of logical implications which roughly describe the neural network mapping is introduced. The number of extracted rules can be selected using an uncertainty margin parameter as well as by changing the precision of the soft quantization of the inputs. ...

To fine map the previously detected quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting milk production traits on bovine chromosome 6 (BTA6), 15 microsatellite markers situated within an interval of 14.3 cM spanning from BMS690 to BM4528 were selected and 918 daughters of 8 sires were genotyped. Two mapping approaches, haplotype sharing based LD mapping and single marker regression mapping, were used to a...

We present a general method for isolating molecular markers specific to any region of a chromosome using existing mapping populations. Two pools of DNA from individuals homozygous for opposing alleles for a targeted chromosomal interval, defined by two or more linked RFLP markers, are constructed from members of an existing mapping population. The DNA pools are then screened for polymorphism us...

A single, indirect exposure to a novel word provides information that could be used to make a fast mapping between the word and its referent, but it is not known how well this initial mapping specifies the function of the new word. The four studies reported here compare preschoolers' (N = 64) fast mapping of new proper and common names following an indirect exposure requiring inference with the...

g20 world brain mapping initiative (neuroscience/n-20) is putting brain mapping on the top of global economic issues the society for brain mapping, therapeutics, and brain mapping foundation are propelling therapeutic advances in nano-neurosurgery, nano-bio-electronics, artificial intelligence, neuro-supercomputing and ‘cross-pollination’ among the bio-medical sciences and engineering worldwide...

the focus of this study is to analyze the text world of omar khayyam's poetry by a novel approach called cognitive poetics. to examine the author’s/reader's text world, the study has employed freeman’s model (1998). she believes that conceptual mapping in literary texts can operate at three different levels including “attribute mapping,” “relational mapping,” and “system mapping.” through readi...

Epitope mapping from affinity-selected peptides has become popular in epitope prediction, and correspondingly many Web-based tools have been developed in recent years. However, the performance of these tools varies in different circumstances. To address this problem, we employed an ensemble approach to incorporate two popular Web tools, MimoPro and Pep-3D-Search, together for taking advantages ...

Primate electrophysiological and lesion studies indicate a prominent role of the left dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) in action selection based on learned sensorimotor associations. Here we applied transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to human left PMd at low or high intensity while right-handed individuals performed externally paced sequential key presses with their left hand. Movements were c...

The Virginia chicken lines have been divergently selected for juvenile body weight for more than 50 generations. Today, the high- and low-weight lines show a >12-fold difference for the selected trait, 56-d body weight. These lines provide unique opportunities to study the genetic architecture of long-term, single-trait selection. Previously, several quantitative trait loci (QTL) contributing t...
