Starting with the second crossbred generation, parental genomic-proportion lines in individuals deviate considerably from expectation. These individual variations offer the potential to increase the efficiency of crossbreeding programmes. DNA fingerprinting was established as an approach, to quantify the genomic contribution of the parental lines in individuals of two crossbred generations. For this purpose, line-specific bands were identified in representative banding patterns of pooled DNA from purebreds. The representative banding patterns obtained with eight combinations of restriction enzymes HinfI and AluI, and oligonucleotide probes [CA]8, [CAC]5, [GGAT]4, and [GACA]4, contained between nine and 14 line-specific bands. The estimation of the proportion was based on the relative proportion of line-specific bands of one parental line in banding patterns of crossbreds. This was first done in F1 individuals with a definite 50% genomic proportion of each parental line, to determine the accuracy of the approach. The mean value, 51.0 ± 0.34%, observed in 45 F1s using all eight combinations of enzymes and probes, of genomic contribution of one parental line, was close to the theoretical value of 50%. In 24 animals of the BC1, considerable shifting of the parental genomic proportion was observed. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Schätzung der Genomanteile bei Hühnern verschiedener Kreuzungsstufen durch DNA-Fingerprinting Von der ersten Rückkreuzungsgeneration an treten erhebliche, individuelle Verscheibungen in der Verteilung der Genomanteile der parentalen Ausganslinien vom Durchschnitt auf. Diese individuelle Variation stellt ein Potential zur Steigerung der Effektivität von Kreuzungszuchtprogrammen dar. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine Untersuchungsmethode zur direkten Quantifizierung der Genombeiträge der parentalen Ausganslinien bei Individuen verschiedener Kreuzungsstufen durch DNA fingerprints vor gestellt. Dazu wurden in für die Ausgangslinien repräsentativen Bandenmustern aus DNA-Gemischen linienspezifische Banden identifiziert. Die repräsentativen Bandenmuster wurden mit den Restriktionsenzymen HinfI and AluI sowie den Oligonukleotidsonen [CA](8) , [CAC](5) , [GGAT](4) , und [GACA](4) erzeugt und enthielten 9-14 linienspezifische Banden. Die Bestimmung der parentalen Genomanteile beruhte auf der Identifizierung linienspezifischer Banden in den Bandmustern von Kreuzungsindividuen und der anschließenden Berechnung des relativen Anteils an für eine parentale Linie spezifischen Banden. Um die Genauigkeit der Untersuchungsmethode zu evaluieren, wurde sie zunächst bei F(1) Tieren angewandt, die einen Anteil von jeweils 50% der elterlichen Linien aufweisen müssen. Der Durchschnittswert berechnet über alle 45 F(1) Individuen und alle acht Kombinationen von Enzymen und Sonden betrug 51,0 ± 0,34% Genomanteil der einen parentalen Linie und lag somit nahe dem theoretischen Wert von 50%. Bei 24 Tieren der R1 konnte eine beachtliche Verschiebung der Genombeiträge der parentalen Ausgangslinien gezeigt werden.

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDCs) can be combined with organic semiconductors to form hybrid van der Waals heterostructures. Specially, non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) stand out due to their excellent absorption and exciton diffusion properties. Here, we couple monolayer tungsten diselenide (ML-WSe) with two well performing NFAs, ITIC, and IT-4F (fluorinated ITIC) to achieve hybrid architectures.

The bulk phase of transition metal nitrides (TMNs) has long been a subject of extensive investigation due to their utility as coating materials, electrocatalysts, and diffusion barriers, attributed to their high conductivity and refractory properties. Downscaling TMNs into two-dimensional (2D) forms would provide valuable members to the existing 2D materials repertoire, with potential enhancements across various applications. Moreover, calculations have anticipated the emergence of uncommon physical phenomena in TMNs at the 2D limit.

Background: Tibiofemoral rotation is an emerging parameter, especially in assessing patellofemoral instability. However, reference values in the literature are inconsistent regarding the used imaging modality and do not consider the effect of knee flexion during image acquisition.

Purpose: To analyze the differences in tibiofemoral rotation measurements between computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
