Varroa destructor is a major pest of European honey bees ( Apis mellifera ), causing significant economic and welfare impacts. Australia remained the last continent free from V. . In June 2022, detection was reported in sentinel colonies at Port Newcastle, Australia. Rapid accurate identification species critical for timely response management. this case study, two Nanopore DNA sequencing methods, PCR amplicon Cas9-targeted sequencing, were used to rapidly diagnose mitochondrial haplotype...
The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful and non-invasive method for monitoring the presence species in ecosystems. However, ecologists laboratory staff can find it challenging to use eDNA software effectively due unfamiliar command-line interfaces used by many these packages. Therefore, we developed eDNA-container app, free open-source package that provides simple user-friendly interface analysis. application based on popular QIIME2 library distributed as Docker image. makes...
Summary White coat patterning is a feature of many dog breeds and known to be coded primarily by the gene micropthalmia‐associated transcription factor ( MITF ). This in can modified other factors produce attractive phenotypes termed ‘ticked’ ‘roan’ that describe presence flecks color vary distribution intensity within otherwise ‘clear’ white markings. The appearance pigment caused ticking roaning intensifies weeks after birth. We applied genome‐wide association compare English Cocker...
