In order to identify genome regions related to pasta-making quality traits, association mapping (AM) was performed in a set of 165 durum wheat landraces from 21 Mediterranean countries.The collection was genotyped using 1149 DArT markers and 872 of them with a known genetic position were used for AM.The collection was grown in north-east Spain duri
Multi-tag pyrosequencing has become a key method in the analysis of microbial community composition.However, it is well known that kinetic bias during the initial PCR amplification of such microbial communities can dramatically distort amplicon abundance prior to downstream emulsion PCR and pyrosequencing.Here we present a simple protocol combining
This literature review focuses on research related to Port State Control (PSC) inspections carried out on board ships, with a particular focus on areas of interest and data analysis methods adopted during research.The five steps involved in the literature review process include: (1) determining the research questions, (2) gathering works of literat
Synthesis of the capsular polysaccharide, a major virulence factor for many pathogenic bacteria, is required for bacterial survival within the infected host.In Streptococcus pneumoniae, Wze, an autophosphorylating tyrosine kinase, and Wzd, a membrane protein required for Wze autophosphorylation, co-localize at the division septum and guarantee the
