Timed mates were performed by mating a male with two females overnight and monitoring the females for plugs.
Optimal mate choice involves a tradeoff between the cost of selecting a mate and the benefit gained by mating with a preferred partner.
Perhaps most significantly though, when mated to a heterospecific, female fitness can be largely restored by mating with a conspecific.
By mating Noto-cre mice with the conditional R26-lacZ reporter mouse, these studies have traced cells of notochord origin during the dynamic process of notochord formation, elongation, condensation and eventual formation of the NP within the IVD.
To determine the functions of Bcl11b in the developing dentate gyrus, we generated conditional knock-out mice by mating Bcl11bflox/flox mice (Li et al, 2010) with the forebrain-specific Emx1- Cre mouse line (Gorski et al, 2002).
By mating IKKα-floxed mice with Ksp-Cre transgenic mice, conditional knockout mice (Ksp-IKKα−/−) in which the IKKα gene was specifically disrupted in renal TECs (genotype IKKαfl/fl, Cre+/−) were created.
In the first type of transgenic mice, conditional ablation of Smo in liver epithelial cells was induced by mating Smoflox/flox and Alfp-Cre mouse lines (Additional file 1: Figure S1A-C).
Bottom, conditional mutants, resulting in splicing of exon 1 to the GT cassette (Cre+, Rest GTi ), were generated by mating Rest GTi mice (top) to mice bearing the Nestin Cre transgene.
In this paper, we propose a novel version of EAs, bird mating optimizer (BMO), for continuous optimization problems which is inspired by mating strategies of bird species during mating season.
Diploid strains were constructed by mating haploid strains of opposite mating types in YPD medium.
