Response of Horticultural Soil Microbiota to Different Fertilization Practices
(MDPI, 2020-10-06)
Environmentally friendly agricultural production necessitates manipulation of microbe–plant interactions, requiring a better understanding of how farming practices influence soil microbiota. We studied the effect of ...
Differences in honey bee bacterial diversity andcomposition in agricultural and pristine environments–afield study
(Springer, 2020-07)
Agrochemicals and biocides are suspected to cause a dysbiosis of honey bee microbiota, decreasing colonies ability to respond to the environment. As a first step to investigate agriculture and beekeeping impact, hives ...
EXFI: Exon and splice graph prediction without a reference genome
(Wiley, 2020-08)
For population genetic studies in nonmodel organisms, it is important to use every single source of genomic information. This paper presents EXFI, a Python pipeline that predicts the splice graph and exon sequences using ...
Molecular detection of plaice remains in the stomachs of potential predators on a flatfish nursery ground.
(Inter-Research, 2012-01-10)
Stomach contents of potential predators from a flatfish nursery ground on the Scot-
tish west coast were examined visually and probed using a TaqMan real-time PCR based assay
designed to detect plaice Pleuronectes platessa ...
Genomic Selection Signatures In Sheep From The Western Pyrenees
(Biomed Central, 2018-03-22)
Background: The current large spectrum of sheep phenotypic diversity results from the combined product of sheep selection for different production traits such as wool, milk and meat, and its natural adaptation to new ...
Digging into the Genomic Past of Swiss Honey Bees by Whole-Genome Sequencing Museum Specimens
(Oxford University Press, 2020-12)
Historical specimens in museum collections provide opportunities to gain insights into the genomic past. For the Western honey bee, Apis mellifera L., this is particularly important because its populations are currently ...
Insights on the Origin of Invasive Copepods colonizing Basque Estuaries; a DNA Barcoding Approach
(Biomed Central, 2016-07-13)
Background: The introduction of NIS to estuaries and coastal embayment is of great concern. Commercial ships’
ballast water discharge and the northwards progression of species due to the ongoing climate change arise as ...
Single nucleotide polymorphism discovery in albacore and Atlantic bluefin tuna provides insights into worldwide population structure.
(Wiley, 2013-05-14)
The optimal management of the commercially important, but mostly over-exploited, pelagic tunas, albacore (Thunnus alalunga Bonn., 1788) and Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT; Thunnus thynnus L., 1758), requires a better understanding ...
A TaqMan real-time PCR based assay targeting plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) DNA to detect predation by the brown shrimp (Crangon crangon L.) and the shore crab (Carcinus maenas L.)—Assay development and validation
(Elsevier, 2010-07-14)
We describe a protocol for the preservation, extraction, and detection of plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) DNA from the stomach contents of the brown shrimp, Crangon crangon and the shore crab, Carcinus maenas. These two ...
18S rRNA V9 metabarcoding for diet characterization: a critical evaluation with two sympatric zooplanktivorous fish species
(Wiley Blackwell, 2016-03)
The potential of the 18S rRNA V9 metabarcoding approach for diet assessment was explored using MiSeq paired-end (PE; 2 9 150 bp) technology. To critically evaluate the method's performance with degraded/digested DNA, the ...
