Contesting Genetic Knowledge-Practices in Livestock Breeding: Biopower, Biosocial Collectivities, and Heterogeneous Resistances [PDF]

, 2012
Cattle and sheep breeders in the UK and elsewhere increasingly draw on genetic techniques in order to make breeding decisions. Many breeders support such techniques, while others argue against them for a variety of reasons, including their preference for

A comprehensive proteomics profiling identifies NRP1 as a novel identity marker of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell-derived small extracellular vesicles

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Clinical applications have shown extracellular vesicles (EVs) to be a major paracrine effector in therapeutic responses produced by human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (hMSCs).

Root Trait Variation in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) Germplasm under Drought Stress

Plants, 2021
Drought is the most critical environmental factor across the continents affecting food security. Roots are the prime organs for water and nutrient uptake. Fine tuning between water uptake, efficient use and loss determines the genotypic response to water

CoreSNP: an efficient pipeline for core marker profile selection from genome-wide SNP datasets in crops

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background DNA marker profiles play a crucial role in the identification and registration of germplasm, as well as in the distinctness, uniformity, and stability (DUS) testing of new plant variety protection.

Higher-Order Quantum-Inspired Genetic Algorithms [PDF]

, 2014
This paper presents a theory and an empirical evaluation of Higher-Order Quantum-Inspired Genetic Algorithms. Fundamental notions of the theory have been introduced, and a novel Order-2 Quantum-Inspired Genetic Algorithm (QIGA2) has been presented ...

Introgression of pigs in Taihu Lake region possibly contributed to the improvement of fertility in Danish Large White pigs

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Eurasian pigs have undergone lineage admixture throughout history. It has been confirmed that the genes of indigenous pig breeds in China have been introduced into Western commercial pigs, providing genetic materials for breeding Western pigs.

Laser microdissection as a new approach to prefertilization genetic diagnosis [PDF]

, 2000
The genetic status of oocytes can be determined by polar body (PB) analysis. Following PB extraction, a genetic evaluation is performed. As each PB contains the complementary genetic material of the oocyte, PB analysis reveals information about its ...
