The genetic diversity was studied using microsatellite DNA markers in Laoshan dairy goat (LS), Xinong Saanen dairy goat (SN), Guanzhong dairy goat (GZ), Banjiao goat (BJ) and Guizhou white goat (GW). Within the nine polymorphic loci, allele frequencies, number of effective alleles (Ne), heterozygosity (He), polymorphism information content (PIC), genetic identity (I) and Nei’s standard genetic ...

UPGMA analysis, principal component analysis, genetic diversity analysis and genetic distance analysis of RAPD data were used to assess the extent of host specialization in 50 isolates of S. homoeocarpa from five turfgrass hosts. In UPGMA analysis and principal component analysis, the occurrence of host specialization was not readily apparent based on visual inspection. Genetic diversity analys...

There is great interest in the use of custom computing machines (CCMs) to accelerate the performance of existing, highly optimized software algorithms in Bioinformatics. But, like many applications for CCMs in the sciences, there are many architecture and experimentation “data points” to be obtained before a solid understanding can be obtained as to the issues of migrating specialized scientifi...

in order to evaluate the genetic diversity of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and the relationships between studied characteristics with seed storage proteins, 60 genotypes with three colors (white, red and pinto bean) were studied using an augmented design with three blocks and four varieties as controls. the majority of studied traits were significantly different between large and small s...

the genetic diversity of 40 tobacco (nicotiana tabacum l.) cultivars was analyzed using 12 issr primers. thecultivars were evaluated for 14 traits using a simple lattice design (7×7) with two replications. of 149 amplified bands, 142 (95.3%) were polymorphic. maximum and minimum bands were generated by primers ubc825 (17 bands and 94.11% polymorphic) and ubc824 (7 bands and 100% polymorphic), r...

Modeling potential disease spread in wildlife populations is important for predicting, responding to and recovering from a foreign animal disease incursion. To make spatial epidemic predictions, the target animal species of interest must first be represented in space. We conducted a series of simulation experiments to determine how estimates of the spatial distribution of white-tailed deer impa...

We will use a variation of UPGMA in UPGMA we have a distance matrix, in each iteration we take the pair i, j with the minimal distance: ∀k, l : di,j < dk,l and create a new node which is their parent.In the UPGMA algorithm the new distances for this node is the average of the two distances of it’s children : ∀l : Di+j,l = 12 (di,l + dj,l). We will talk about a very similar idea for clustering g...
