We present a method, called Allele-Discriminating Long and Accurate PCR Haplotyping (ADLAPH), for directly determining haplotypes from an extended genomic region. This method uses allele-discriminating primers in long-range PCR to amplify only one of the two chromosome homologues for the region of interest. Haplotypes are then determined from these phase-separated PCR fragments by conventional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping methods. This simple robust procedure makes it practical for high-throughput haplotyping of unrelated individuals, and potentially allows direct observation of haplotype information for up to 40 kb or more. We demonstrate the feasibility of this molecular haplotyping procedure by generating apolipoprotein E (APOE) haplotypes from 100 unrelated subjects.

Species spread in a new environment is often associated with founders' effect, and reduced effective population size and genetic diversity. However, reduced genetic diversity does not necessarily translate to low establishment and spread potential. Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink is a polyphagous pest that has invaded 4 continents in around 34 years.

The globally distributed ciliate Balanion planctonicum is a primary consumer of phytoplankton spring blooms. Due to its small size (~20 μm), identification and quantification by molecular tools is preferable as an alternative to the laborious counting of specimen in quantitative protargol stains. However, previous sequencing of the 18S rDNA V9 region of B.

Excessive temperatures during grain filling can compromise endosperm starch biosynthesis and decrease grain quality and yield in rice. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these remain unclear. Here, we show that heat shock protein OsHsp40-1 interacts with and elevates the ATPase activity of OsHsp70-2 in rice.

The northern forests of Japan, dominated by and the associated , present a captivating display of spring-flowering ephemerals, including , , , and . Among these, is also considered part of the spring ephemerals.
