Heterozygosity is a metric of genetic variability frequently used to inform the management threatened taxa. Estimating observed and expected heterozygosities from genome-wide sequence data has become increasingly common, these estimates are often derived directly genotypes at single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. While many SNP markers can provide precise processes, results ‘downstream’...

the japanese and english white quails are widespread strains and belongs to the galliformes order, phasianidae family, coturnix genus  and japonica species. these birds are likely to be well-adapted to the hard conditions and resistance to diseases as it has attained economic importance as an agricultural species. in the current study, the genetic variation of japanese and english white  quail ...

berari goats are medium sized animals reared mainly for meat purpose. they are predominantly brown and blackish brown in colour with glossy hair and found in vidarbha region of maharashtra state. berari is not a recognized breed but a well established local population of goat which is yet to be fully explored for its phenotypic and genetic aspects. within population genetic variation was examin...

Background: The simultaneous existence of two different abnormalities in a gene is referred to double heterozygosity. The most common form of it is the association of thalassemia and sickle cell disease, being termed sickle cell thalassemia. The aim of this research was to study all of the hemoglobinopathies in thalassemia major patients in Lorestan Province. Materials and methods: This st...

The fitness consequences of heterozygosity and the mechanisms underpinning them are still highly controversial. Using capture-mark-recapture models, we investigated the effects of individual heterozygosity, measured at 16 microsatellite markers, on age-dependent survival and access to dominance in a socially monogamous mammalian species, the alpine marmot. We found a positive correlation betwee...

mechanical damage due to harvesting, handling, and other processes is an important factor that affects the seeds quality. seed damage results in lower grain value and more storability problem and reduces seed germination and seedling vigor and subsequent yield of crops. tests were conducted to determine the percentage of physical damage (ppd) and percentage of loss in germination (plg) of wheat...
