Isolation of recombinant viruses after DNA transfection remains the most time-consuming and labor-intensive feature in the production of vaccinia virus (VV) recombinants. This procedure has been aided by the design and incorporation of both positive and negative selectable markers into the insertion vectors. Use of these selectable markers is not always feasible or desirable. In the absence of ...

In this paper, we study virtual full-duplex (FD) buffer-aided relaying to recover the multiplexing loss of halfduplex (HD) relaying in a network with multiple buffer-aided relays, each of which has multiple antennas, through opportunistic relay selection and beamforming. The main idea of virtual FD buffer-aided relaying is that a source and a relay simultaneously transmit their own information ...

genomic selection is a method to predict the breeding values of individuals using a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism markers. the cost of the high-density marker panel genotyping is very high, which prevents the widely application of genomic selection. the present simulation study was carried out to evaluate the use of low to medium marker density panels to predict direct genomic ...

  Maize is the main staple food of world but it nutritional deficient due to scarcity two essential amino acids viz., lysine and tryptophan. Under this study, opaque2 gene from QPM donor (CML-169) was transferred into normal maize (BAJIM-08-26) through marker aided backcross breeding method. The specific SSR (phi057) used for foreground selection in BC1F1 BC2F1 generations. heterozygous of...

A genetic mapping project, typically implemented during a search for genes responsible for a disease, requires the acquisition of a set of data from each of a large number of individuals. This data set includes the values of multiple genetic markers. These genetic markers occur at discrete positions along the genome, which is a collection of one or more linear chromosomes. Typing the value of a...

it has been more than half a century that plant geneticists and breeders have been trying to assemble a combinationof genes in crop plants, in order to make them as suitable and productive as possible. plant transformation technology incrop plants was first undertakenin the 1980s based on the ability of foreign gene integration into host plant genome andregeneration of transformed plant cells i...
