of genetic markers of mutation that would make it more virulent, so we can monitor for those,» said Ghani.
Dr. Rod Wing, director of the Arizona Genomics Institute at the University of Arizona and a pioneer in rice genome sequencing, remarked: «The dataset provides access to
millions of genetic markers that can be used to design sustainable crops for the future, that is, ones that are high - yielding and more nutritious while at the same time requiring less water, fertilizer, and pesticides.»
By further
study of these genetic markers, Skorecki, who is himself a cohen, hopes to construct a biological timetable that will both lead back to the ancestor of the priests and tell us when he lived.
One of the tools, the SNP - Seek database, is designed to provide user - friendly access to a
type of genetic marker called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified from this data.

includes
screenings of genetic markers for the effectiveness of common medications, hormones indicative of reproductive and athletic health, and types of fats in the blood that develop in clogging and can determine the best nutrition for your body.
Individuals were classified as high risk for Alzheimer's if a DNA test identified the
presence of a genetic marker — having one or both of the apolipoprotein E-epsilon 4 allele (APOE - e4 allele) on chromosome 19 — which increases the risk of developing the disease.
One project that AquaGen started up in 2005 was a collaboration with the Centre for Integrative Genetics (CIGENE), at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, and the Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research (Nofima) to make a precise
map of the genetic markers that make certain salmon individuals resistant to the IPN (infectious pancreatic necrosis) virus.
In the current Science, Hal Whitehead of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, claims that an unusual
pattern of genetic markers in sperm whales, pilot whales, and killer whales implies that matriarchs of those species teach their offspring as - yet - unidentified behaviors that give them a substantial survival advantage, a situation thus far documented only in humans.
This study also increased the number
of genetic markers scientist can use to study the population biology of great white and related sharks, Stanhope said, by a thousandfold, from which they hope to further expand knowledge of these fascinating animals, many of which are in urgent need of conservation.
«In the space of just five years, reasonably affordable studies using DNA sequencing have advanced from using only a
handful of genetic markers to more than 2,000 — an unbelievable amount of DNA,» adds Simison.
The so - called speed gene, which several laboratories say determines whether a horse prefers a short sprint, a marathon or something in between, is just one
of the genetic markers identified in the search for the roots of elite performance in thoroughbreds.
A
series of genetic markers sprinkled throughout the cells» chromosomes show the same pattern found in parthenogenetic mice as opposed to cloned mice, according to a report published online today in the journal Cell Stem Cell.
As with other genetic studies linking diseases to DNA markers, her research tends to compare populations who have one
variation of a genetic marker with those who have a different variation — a comparison that has limited application to individuals.
Haplotypic sequences contain significantly more information than
genotypes of genetic markers and are critical for studying disease association and genome evolution.
Students simulate the passing
on of genetic markers and make connections to ancient human migration routes.
Using a number
of genetic markers known to influence body size and shape, our proprietary «genetic size» algorithm helps you predict how heavy your patients should be at maturity, among other inherited traits.
Ultimately, the Wisdom Panel 3.0 is a superb canine DNA test kit that provides better
coverage of genetic markers and more accurate breed identification than its predecessors.
Moreover, the 3.0 is highly sensitive in the
determination of the genetic marker for multi-drug resistance, saving you and your pet the hassle of having to deal with medication adverse reactions should your pet require treatment in the future.
These funds will be used in research to try to identify the genetic factors that would enable the development
of a genetic marker based risk test for our Yorkshire Terriers along with developing a more effective treatment.
In 2015, a study using a number
of genetic markers indicated that the Siberian Husky, the Alaskan Malamute and the Alaskan husky share a close genetic relationship between each other and were related to Chukotka sled dogs from Siberia.
The most stringent test of differential susceptibility theory is provided by randomized control trials examining the moderating
role of genetic markers of differential susceptibility in experimental manipulations of the environment (Gene × Experimental Environment interactions), being at least 10 times more powerful than correlational Gene × Environment interaction studies.
The evidence suggests it does: 249 pairs of siblings were more likely to both have diabetes, or both be healthy, if they shared the same
set of genetic markers in the region of the IL - 12 gene on chromosome 5.
Studies of genetic markers had already proved invaluable for evolutionary biology and forensic science, aided by chemist Kary Mullis's 1983 invention of PCR, an efficient way to amplify minute fragments of DNA.
Your article on the growing
use of genetic markers to eliminate confounding factors in clinical studies, overturning some earlier epidemiological conclusions, gave me a shock: a major contributor to heart health has been eliminated overnight (24 November, p 8).
