Seaweed is an important food widely consumed in Asian countries. has a diverse array of bioactive compounds, including dietary fiber, carbohydrate, protein, fatty acid, minerals and polyphenols, which contribute to the health benefits commercial value seaweed. Nevertheless, detailed information on polyphenol content seaweeds still limited. Therefore, present work aimed investigate phenolic compounds eight [Chlorophyta (green), Ulva sp., Caulerpa sp. Codium sp.; Rhodophyta (red), Dasya...

Populations of broadcast spawning marine organisms often have large sizes and are exposed to reduced genetic drift. Under such scenarios, strong selection associated with spatial environmental heterogeneity is expected drive localized adaptive divergence, even in the face connectivity. We tested this hypothesis using a seascape genomics approach commercially important greenlip abalone (Haliotis laevigata). assessed how its population structure has been influenced by along zonal coastal...

The application of microsatellites in evolutionary studies requires an understanding the patterns governing their evolution different species. finding that homologous microsatellite loci are longer, i.e., containing more repeat units, human and other primates has been taken as evidence for directional a difference rate between However, it argued this is inevitable consequence biased selection longer-than-average human, because cloning procedures adopted to generate polymorphic and, hence,...

Shrimp culture is a fast growing aquaculture sector, but in recent years there has been shift away from tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon to other species. This largely due the susceptibility of P. white spot syndrome virus disease (Whispovirus sp.) which impacted production around world. As female penaeid grow more rapidly than males, mono-sex would be advantageous, however little known about genes controlling or markers associated with sex determination shrimp. In this study, mapped set 3959...

Transcriptome sequencing using Illumina RNA-seq was performed on populations of black tiger shrimp from India. Samples were collected (i) four landing centres around the east coastline (EC) India, (ii) survivors a severe WSSV infection during pond culture (SUR) and (iii) Andaman Islands (AI) in Bay Bengal. Equal quantities purified total RNA homogenates hepatopancreas, muscle, nervous tissue, intestinal tract, heart, gonad, gills, pleopod lymphoid organs combined to create AI, EC SUR pools...

Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) causes major worldwide losses in shrimp aquaculture. The development of resistant populations is an attractive option for management the disease. However, heritability WSSV resistance generally low and genetic improvement by conventional selection has been slow. This study was designed to determine power accuracy genomic improve Litopenaeus vannamei . Shrimp were experimentally challenged with evaluated as dead or alive (DOA) 23 days after...

Exposure to environmental stressors during early-life stages can change the rate and timing of various developmental processes. Epigenetic marks affecting transcriptional regulation be altered by such stimuli. To assess how stress might affect methylome transcriptome in salmon, fish were treated using cold-shock air-exposure from eye-stage until start-feeding. The either stressed prior hatching (E), post-hatching (PH), pre- (EPH) or not (CO). Assessing abundances just start feeding, E PH...

Epigenetic marks affecting the expression of genes are triggered by environmental stimuli, can persist throughout life or across multiple generations and affect an individuals phenotype. In recent years there has been a revival interest about possible role epigenetics in complex quantitative traits. This growing is partly driven increasing affordability ultra-high throughput sequencing methods for studying epigenome. this review we focus on some applications epigenetic knowledge to...

Abstract. Selecting a wind farm layout optimization method is difficult. Comparisons between methods in different papers can be uncertain due to the difficulty of exactly reproducing objective function. by just few authors one paper if do not have experience using each algorithm. In this work we provide an algorithm comparison for case study eight applied, or directed, researchers who developed those algorithms had other them. We provided function researcher avoid ambiguity about relative...

Stability-dependent far-field offshore wind-farm wakes are detected in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) wind power records from farms located the North Sea. The results used to assess strengths weaknesses of Openwind engineering model, which turn enables understanding wake signal captured by SCADA data. Two experimental model set-ups evaluated, current standard set-up considering a neutral atmosphere extended for stable conditions, other using new atmospheric stability...
