Moreover, it lays the groundwork for assigning bandwidth, and/or implementing priorities, and hence for QoS-based routing by conveying the quality of a path prior to call setup.
Following dissection, femurs were immediately placed in serum-free BCM with added gentamycin and kept in the incubator prior to coculture setup.
For A6WW16, B9K4G4, and B9JQV3, TEV protease (Tropea et al., 2009) was added at a 1/80 ratio prior to crystallization setup.
This difference in results can possibly be attributed to one major difference in the selection design – collection of virgin flies prior to the setup of adult competition vials and sex ratio treatments.
Prior to all experimental setup, all glass, tubes, plastic wares and working surfaces were bleached and treated with RNAse inhibitor, RNase Zap (Ambion Inc, Austin, TX, USA), and all solutions were prepared with diethylpyrocarbonate-treated water.
Prior to the experimental setup, we cleared the gut contents of the worms to avoid contamination from packing soil by washing the earthworms with tap water and placing them in clean plastic boxes containing only moistened tissue for 24 48 hours at room temperature.
This was done because males can only arise in the progeny of selfed hermaphrodites from the rare (10 - 3-10 - 4) non-disjunction of the X-chromosome during gametogenesis [ 38], and thus we prevent the inclusion of hermaphrodites that may have been outcrossed to males from their own population, prior to the assay setup.
We performed seeding experiments under the same conditions by crushing these crystals in mother liquor, and mixing the resulting seeds in 1 20-1 50 ratios with fresh protein just prior to crystallization drop setups under the same conditions.
