Article Synopsis
- The Florida Scrub-Jay, a threatened bird species, serves as a significant model for studying evolution and ecology through extensive individual monitoring and genetic analysis.
- Researchers created a detailed linkage map with 4,468 SNPs and a chromosome-level genome assembly for the species, totaling 1.33 Gb in length, which includes complete autosomes and sex chromosomes.
- The high-quality genome assembly, with a BUSCO completeness score of 97.1%, features 17,964 identified protein-coding genes, which equips scientists with valuable resources for exploring the evolutionary dynamics of endangered species.
Background: We set out to define the impact of collection, processing, and storage on plasma product microparticle (MP) abundance, potential for nitric oxide (NO) scavenging, and vasoactivity.
Study Design And Methods: Three currently US licensed products were tested: liquid plasma (LP), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and solvent detergent plasma (SDP), along with a product under development, spray-dried solvent detergent plasma (SD-SDP) with/without beads. Vasoactivity was assessed in vitro using rabbit aortic vascular rings; MP abundance was determined by flow cytometry; and NO scavenging capacity/rate was determined using a biochemical NO consumption assay.
