For the other Type II markers, we identified three chromosomes for Marker No. 3, 19 and 24, and a single chromosome for Marker No. 16 (Table 2).
"The two markers we identified can be used for spatial mapping of relative bleaching tolerance across the reef, and they can also be used to identify relatively tolerant colonies which could be used for selective breeding or translocation of corals, if managers wished to implement such strategies," said van Oppen.
Finally, we assessed whether the markers we identified as specific for monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, and fibrocytes using in vitro cultured cells were valid for human pathological samples.
Including all 9 markers, we identified one haplotype that was negatively associated with height, and that span the entire GHRHR gene region.
Using those markers we identified a higher proportion of rearrangements in triticale than the one observed in previous studies which is moreover exclusively associated with sequence modifications.
Applying the MDL based feature selection method to the metabolic markers, we identified the most important ones with respect to heterosis prediction (cf. Tables S4 and S5).
By quantification of the expression of differentiation markers, we identified BMP-2/6 as a better inducer of trophoblast and endoderm differentiation of hES cells than BMP-2 or BMP-6.
While currently available diagnostic protocols using the D-dimer assay provides a high negative predictive value, the proteomic markers we identified appear to add specificity to currently available blood assays.
With comparable polymorphic markers, we identified one fragment with a difference in frequency between Q. liaotungensis and Q. mongolica of 81% 95%% vs 14%); this difference would be even higher if the individuals suggested by STRUCTURE as having been misidentified had been corrected, suggesting that the two species studied are at least as valid as the well-investigated Q. robur and Q. petraea.
Among the nodule markers, we identified transcripts showing homology to RNA-directed DNA polymerases (Ljwgs_129728.2 and TM0459.16), a DNA topoisomerase (Ljwgs_018687.1), a H+-transporting ATPase (Ljwgs_020539.2 and Ljwgs_022205.1), the AP2-domain containing TINY TF (Ljwgs_028899.1), and defense related genes (TM0533.24.1 and chr2.CM0020.37).
