Abstract Somaclonal variation during in vitro culture is often an undesirable phenomenon but may also be a source of genetic useful for breeders. The molecular mechanisms underlying this remain uncertain. In study, we analyzed the fruit transcriptome three independent cucumber lines using RNA-sequencing technology and performed extensive silico study to determine how somaclonal altered gene exp...

Gene-derived simple sequence repeats (genic SSRs), also known as functional markers, are often preferred over random genomic markers because they represent variation in gene coding and/or regulatory regions. We characterized 544 genic SSR loci derived from 138 candidate genes involved in wood formation, distributed throughout the genome of Populus tomentosa, a key ecological and cultivated wood...

We have studied the behavior of a number of sequence statistics, mostly indicative of protein coding function, in a large set of human clone sequences randomly selected in the course of genome mapping (randomly selected clone sequences), and compared this with the behavior in known sequences containing genes (which we term genic sequences). As expected, given the higher coding density of the ge...

Two Marula, Sclerocarya birrea seed samples originating from Western Sudan, were analyzed, and the characteristics and constituents of the kernel oils were determined, including physico-chemical properties, specific gravity, oil colour, refractive index, saponification value, unsaponifiable matter, acid value, free fatty acids, and phosphorus content. Total fatty acid compostion was determined ...

The pollen fertility of photoperiod/temperature sensitive genic male sterile (P/TGMS) wheat is controlled by light and/or temperature. Circular RNA (circRNA) and long non-coding (lncRNA) are kn...

In this paper we introduce a new single pass clustering algorithm called GenIc designed with the objective of having low overall cost. We examine some of the properties of GenIc and compare it to windowed k-means. We also study its performance using experimental data sets obtained from network monitoring.
