QTN mapping, gene prediction and molecular design breeding of seed protein content in soybean by Doudou Zhang, Xu Sun, Bo Hu, Wen-Xia Li, Hailong Ning

“…Eight biparental and five tri-parental crosses that produced excellent lines with the greatest protein content-related genotype values that could be generated by phenotypic and molecular-assisted selection were screened. An LD block of 17 QTNs (QEIs) was identified, and one key candidate gene related to protein formation was predicted by haplotype analysis. …”

Phenotypic profiling and identification of trait specific genotypes of seed purpose watermelon in Thar desert of India by Mithlesh Kumar, Bagda Ram Choudhary, Rahul Kumar

“…High PCV and GCV were recorded for seed yield followed by fruit yield and fruits per plant indicating variation and scope of improvement through phenotypic selection. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance for all the traits except days to maturity revealed that they are predominantly governed by additive gene action and phenotypic selection will be effective. …”

Sequence characteristics define trade-offs between on-target and genome-wide off-target hybridization of oligoprobes. by Olga V Matveeva, Aleksey Y Ogurtsov, Nafisa N Nazipova, Svetlana A Shabalina

“…All probes from the database were grouped into bins according to their sequence characteristics, where both hybridization signals were averaged separately. For selection of specific probes, we analyzed the following sequence characteristics: vulnerability to self-folding, nucleotide composition bias, numbers of G nucleotides and GGG-blocks, and occurrence of probe's k-mers in the human genome. …”
