Genetic Structure Analysis of 155 Transboundary and Local Populations of Cattle (, and ) Based on STR Markers.

Every week, 1-2 breeds of farm animals, including local cattle, disappear in the world. As the keepers of rare allelic variants, native breeds potentially expand the range of genetic solutions to possible problems of the future, which means that the study of the genetic structure of these breeds is an urgent task. Providing nomadic herders with valuable resources necessary for life, domestic yaks have also become an important object of study.

The effects of genetic drift and genomic selection on differentiation and local adaptation of the introduced populations of in southern Russia.

Background: Asian tiger mosquito is an arbovirus vector that has spread from its native habitation areal in Southeast Asia throughout North and South Americas, Europe, and Africa. was first detected in the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation in the subtropical town of Sochi in 2011. In subsequent years, this species has been described in the continental areas with more severe climate and lower winter temperatures.

Gene Loss, Pseudogenization in Plastomes of Genus (), and Putative Selection for Adaptation to Environmental Conditions.

is a large family with more than 1,600 species, belonging to 75 genera. The largest genus--is vast, comprising about a thousand species. species (as well as other members of the ) are widespread and diversified, they are adapted to a wide range of habitats from shady forests to open habitats like meadows, steppes, and deserts.

Genome Sequencing of Kocuria varians Strain 80, Isolated from Starter Culture for Dry Sausage.

The genome of the meat starter culture strain 80 was sequenced and assembled into a single 2.82-Mb chromosome. Genome sequence comparison of strain 80 and previously sequenced strains revealed predicted proteomic differences that can impact its technological properties.

Complete plastome sequencing of Allium paradoxum reveals unusual rearrangements and the loss of the ndh genes as compared to Allium ursinum and other onions.

In this work the complete chloroplast DNAs of Allium paradoxum and Allium ursinum, two edible species of Allium subg. Amerallium (the first lineage), were sequenced, assembled, annotated, and compared with complete Allium plastomes of the second and third evolutionary lines from GenBank database. The A.

Multiplex Real-Time PCR with HRM for Detection of and in Food Samples.

Optimization of fermentation processes requires monitoring the species composition of starter cultures and their growth during fermentation. Most starter cultures contain closely related species. Nowadays, high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis is extensively used for multiplex identification of closely related species.

Comparative analysis of inverted repeats of polypod fern (Polypodiales) plastomes reveals two hypervariable regions.

Background: Ferns are large and underexplored group of vascular plants (~ 11 thousands species). The genomic data available by now include low coverage nuclear genomes sequences and partial sequences of mitochondrial genomes for six species and several plastid genomes.

Results: We characterized plastid genomes of three species of Dryopteris, which is one of the largest fern genera, using sequencing of chloroplast DNA enriched samples and performed comparative analysis with available plastomes of Polypodiales, the most species-rich group of ferns.

Genomic exaptation enables Lasius niger adaptation to urban environments.

Background: The world is rapidly urbanizing, and only a subset of species are able to succeed in stressful city environments. Efficient genome-enabled stress response appears to be a likely prerequisite for urban adaptation. Despite the important role ants play in the ecosytem, only the genomes of ~13 have been sequenced so far.
