The number of segregating sites provides an indicator of the degree of DNA sequence variation that is present in a sample, and has been of great interest to the biological, pharmaceutical and medical professions. In this paper, we first provide linear- and expected-sublinear-time algorithms for finding all the segregating sites of a given set of DNA sequences. We also describe a data structure for tracking segregating sites in a set of sequences, such that every time the set is updated with the insertion of a new sequence or removal of an existing one, the segregating sites are updated accordingly without the need to re-scan the entire set of sequences.

In watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), lesion mimic is a rare, valuable trait that can be used by breeders for selection at early growth stages. In this study, we tested a seven-generation family to determine the inheritance and genetic basis of this trait. As revealed by analysis of the lesion mimic mutant clalm, this trait is controlled by a single dominant gene.

Problem Research Strategy And Findings: The 1968 Fair Housing Act required local government recipients of federal money to take meaningful actions to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH). Current fair housing analysis requirements are copious but do not request an assessment of how land use policies affect the potential for neighborhood integration. A recent California law requires local governments to include AFFH analysis in existing planning processes, and state guidelines encourage the measurement of the spatial distribution of planned sites for low-income housing with respect to opportunity.

The actual ORR catalytic activity of perovskite materials is significantly lower than the theoretical value due to their inherently low specific surface area and significant segregation of inactive oxygen ions on the surface. This study reports a sol-gel synthesis approach that employs glucose as a structural regulator to fabricate LaSrMnO (LSM) perovskites. Compared with the original LSM (12.

The concurrent evolution of value-added benzimidazole compounds and hydrogen within the domain of chemical synthesis is of paramount importance. The utilization of photocatalysis enhances both the efficiency and environmental benignity of the synthetic process. However, it is profoundly challenging within a photocatalytic system to simultaneously augment the number of active sites and the internal transport rate of photogenerated charge carriers.

The development of accurate yet fast quantum mechanical methods to calculate the anharmonic vibrational spectra of large molecules is one of the major goals of ongoing developments in this field. This study extensively explores and validates a hybrid electronic basis set approach for anharmonic vibrational calculations, where the molecule is segregated into different computational layers, and such layers are then treated with different levels of electronic basis sets. Following the system-bath model, the atoms corresponding to the active sites are treated in more accurate but computationally slower, large basis set and the rest of the atoms in less accurate but computationally faster, small basis set to construct the anharmonic hybrid potential energy surface (PES).
