Molecular variation of Trypanosoma brucei subspecies as revealed by AFLP fingerprinting [PDF]
Genetic analysis of Trypanosoma spp. depends on the detection of variation between strains. We have used the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique to develop a convenient and reliable method for genetic characterization of Trypanosome ...

A Gravity Study of the Crustal Structure Beneath the Young Amagmatic Rukwa‐Tanganyika Rift Zone
Abstract The Rukwa‐Tanganyika Rift Zone (RTRZ), experiencing multiphase rifting, forms the nonvolcanic southern part of the Western Branch of the East African Rift. We investigate the crustal structure beneath the RTRZ to understand how strain migrates beneath multiphase rifts.

Analysis of mitochondrial control region DNA variation in New Zealand's brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]
Brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) were first introduced from Australia to New Zealand in 1858 to establish a fur industry. Currently numbering more than 65 million, they are recognised as the most important mammalian pest in New Zealand, because ...

Abstract A subset of non‐migrating tides, including the diurnal eastward propagating tides with zonal wavenumbers 3 and 2, respectively, referred to as DE3 and DE2, are upward propagating waves that have been studied as phenomena that couple the lower atmosphere with the thermosphere. While the climatology of non‐migrating tides in the mesosphere/lower

Recombination dynamics of a human Y-chromosomal palindrome:rapid GC-biased gene conversion, multi-kilobase conversion tracts, and rare inversions [PDF]
The male-specific region of the human Y chromosome (MSY) includes eight large inverted repeats (palindromes) in which arm-to-arm similarity exceeds 99.9%, due to gene conversion activity.

Eigen‐Swarm: Swarm's Thermospheric Mass Density Modeling via Eigen‐Decomposition
Abstract Precise thermospheric mass density (TMD) prediction is essential for satellite orbital tracking, reentry calculations, and upper atmospheric processes under varying solar and magnetospheric conditions. In this paper, we construct an empirical model of TMD at 450 km altitude with accelerometer‐derived (ACC) TMD observations from the Swarm‐C ...

A novel minisatellite repeat expansion identified at FRA16B in a Japanese carrier.
Previously, the allelic expansion of a 33-bp AT-rich minisatellite repeat has been reported to cause FRA16B, a distamycin A-inducible fragile site. Here, we identified a novel 35-bp minisatellite repeat at FRA16B in a Japanese carrier. The nucleotide sequence of the 35-bp minisatellite was highly AT-rich and nearly identical to the 33-bp one but with ...

The examination of baseline noise and the impact on the interpretation of low-template DNA samples [PDF]
It is common practice for DNA STR profiles to be analyzed using an analytical threshold (AT), but as more low template DNA (LT-DNA) samples are tested it has become evident that these thresholds do not adequately separate signal from noise.

Minisatellite linkage maps in the mouse by cross-hybridization with human probes containing tandem repeats. [PDF]
Tests of 29 human variable number of tandem repeat probes in inbred mouse lines showed that 80% (23/29) cross-hybridize, and 48% (14/29) produce multiple band, minisatellite polymorphisms (fingerprint patterns). Mini-satellite-type polymorphisms detected by 11 probes were characterized in eight different strains; on average, 240 polymorphic differences

Abstract In this study, we aimed to explore whether electron and neutral densities could be simultaneously optimized while keeping the ionosphere‐thermosphere (IT) system self‐consistent. We used ionospheric and thermospheric observations, either alone or together, as constraints to adjust uncertain parameters in a physics‐based model. Our results show
