This paper addresses application mapping technique targeted for large-scale Network-on-chip (NoC). The increasing number of intellectual property (IP) cores in multi-processor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs) makes NoC application mapping more challenging to find optimum core-to-topology mapping. The factorial increase in possible mappings space requires a mapping algorithm to efficiently look for pote...

An F2 Japanese quail population was developed by crossing two strains (wild and white) to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for performance and carcass traits. A total of 472 F2 birds were reared and slaughtered at 42 days of age. Performance and carcass traits were measured on all of the F2 individuals. Parental (P0), F1 and F2 individuals were genotyped with 3 microsatellites from quail chrom...

Radiation hybrid (RH) mapping is a somatic cell technique that is used for ordering markers along a chromosome and estimating physical distances between them. It nicely complements the genetic mapping technique, allowing for finer resolution. Like genetic mapping, RH mapping consists in finding a marker ordering that maximizes a given criteria. Several software packages have been recently propo...

Understanding and estimating the structure and parameters associated with the genetic architecture of quantitative traits is a major research focus in quantitative genetics. With the availability of a well-saturated genetic map of molecular markers, it is possible to identify a major part of the structure of the genetic architecture of quantitative traits and to estimate the associated paramete...

Understanding how cells are assembled in three dimensions to generate an organ, or a whole organism, is a pivotal question in developmental biology. Similarly, it is critical to understand how adult stem cells integrate into an existing organ during regeneration or in response to injury. Key to discovering the answers to these questions is being able to study the various behaviors of distinct c...

A combined genetic and physical map of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens A348 (derivative of C58) genome was constructed to address the discrepancy between initial single-chromosome genetic maps and more recent physical mapping data supporting the presence of two nonhomologous chromosomes. The combined map confirms the two-chromosome genomic structure and the correspondence of the initial genetic m...

Whole-genome profiling techniques have been in use for two decades to develop genetic maps and to understand genetic diversity in a wide range of agriculturally important plant and animal species, including Brassica crop species. The genetic mapping approach has been useful in developing and validating markers linked to major gene traits which have then been used as diagnostic markers in marker...
