抗原捕获聚合酶链式反应（AC－PCR）直接分型检测单纯疱疹病毒

用抗单纯疱疹病毒（ＨＳＶ）型共同性ｇＣ和ｇＤ羊克隆抗体（ＭｃＡｂ）,包被即Ｅｐｐｅｎｄｏｒｆ管,捕捉ＨＳＶ,同时加入３个引物：一个是ＨＳＶ─１／ＨＳＶ─２型共同性上游引物,另两个分别是ＨＳＶ─１和ＨＳＶ─２型特异性下游引物。借此建立了能直接分型检测ＨＳＶ的抗原捕获聚合酶链式反应（ＡＣ─ＰＣＲ）。ＨＳＶ─１的扩增产物为４７７ｂｐ,ＨＳＶ─２的为３９９ｂｐ两型病毒经ＡＣ─ＰＣＲ扩增后产生分子量不同的ＤＮＡ片段,致使ＡＣ─ＰＣＲ能直接分型检测ＨＳＶ。ＨＳＶ─１和ＨＳＶ─２扩增产物的克隆和序列分析表明,本方法特异性好。用本法检测Ｂａｌｂ／ｃ幼鼠中枢神经系统ＨＳＶ感染的脑标本,进一步证实本方法不仅敏感、特异,而且分型准确。

Blurry artifacts: a retraction

Abstract. This note is to apologize for an error in the computer program used to evaluate the random data used in Fuzzy Set Ordination according to Zhang & Oxley. After correction of this error no artifacts could be detected any longer. However, the basic conclusion of the earlier critical note still stands: if one selects environmental variables after analyzing the results of a multivariate gradient analysis, and then uses these variables as input into a multiple univariate gradient analysis, the results are expected to be comparable.     

NMR View: A computer program for the visualization and analysis of NMR data

Summary NMR View is a computer program designed for the visualization and analysis of NMR data. It allows the user to interact with a practically unlimited number of 2D, 3D and 4D NMR data files. Any number of spectral windows can be displayed on the screen in any size and location. Automatic peak picking and facilitated peak analysis features are included to aid in the assignment of complex NMR spectra. NMR View provides structure analysis features and data transfer to and from structure generation programs, allowing for a tight coupling between spectral analysis and structure generation. Visual correlation between structures and spectra can be done with the Molecular Data Viewer, a molecular graphics program with bidirectional communication to NMR View. The user interface can be customized and a command language is provided to allow for the automation of various tasks.Inquiries concerning the availability of NMR View and the Molecular Data Viewer should be sent via email to johnsonb@merck.com or to Bruce A. Johnson, Merck Research Laboratories, RY80Y-103, P.O. Box 2000, Rahway, NJ 07065, U.S.A.     

Behavior of bonobos (Pan paniscus) following their capture of monkeys in Zaire

For the first time, three cases of capture and forced interaction were observed between bonobos (Pan paniscus)and two other species of primates (Colobus angolensisand Cercopithecus ascanius)in the Lilungu (Ikela) region, Republic of Zaire. The bonobos interacted with the captured primates as if they were dealing with individuals of their own species. They sought cooperation in their interactions with the captured young primates without scccess. There is no evidence that they ate the captives.     

东海带鱼的最适可捕规格

带鱼是中国东海的重要经济渔获种类,其可捕规格会随不同时期的捕捞强度而变化。为确定目前东海带鱼最适可捕规格,根据2016—2020年拖网、帆张网及延绳钓等主捕带鱼作业方式采集的带鱼样品和数据,利用FiSAT II软件对其生长、死亡参数进行估算,进而计算可捕规格。结果表明: 带鱼的拐点肛长、临界肛长、1龄鱼肛长分别为382.84、397.12、216.05 mm,50%带鱼性成熟肛长为230.38 mm,最小可捕肛长为219.23 mm。利用Beverton-Holt模型分析带鱼单位补充量渔获量可知,带鱼当前渔业参考点为:t_c=0.38 a,F=2.11,处于捕捞过度区域,并得出最适可捕肛长为364.64 mm。但过高的可捕规格会导致短期内带鱼产量急剧下降,渔民难以接受,因此,本研究综合考虑采用接近1龄鱼肛长与50%性成熟肛长作为最适可捕规格较为合适,即220 mm。     

Resource and hardware options for microarray-based experimentation.

DNA microarray technology permits the study of biological systems and processes on a genome-wide scale. Arrays based on cDNA clones, oligonucleotides and genomic clones have been developed for investigations of gene expression, genetic analysis and genomic changes associated with disease. Over the past 3-4 years, microarrays have become more widely available to the research community. This has occurred through increased commercial availability of custom and generic arrays and the development of robotic equipment that has enabled array printing and analysis facilities to be established in academic research institutions. This brief review examines the public and commercial resources, the microarray fabrication and data capture and analysis equipment currently available to the user.

Chloroplast and nuclear DNA variation among homozygous plants in a population of the autogamous annualMicroseris douglasii (Asteraceae,Lactuceae)

The autogamous diploid annualMicroseris douglasii of California occurs in many isolated populations. The populations consist of one to many highly inbred biotypes. Morphological variation among populations usually is greater than within populations. In spite of the virtual absence of gene flow even within populations, genetically determined character differences are randomly distributed and associated throughout the range of the species. Recent evidence even suggests introgression of chloroplasts from the relatedM. bigelovii. Offspring families from 25 plants of a very variable population were raised and examined for segregation of morphological and molecular (RAPD) markers. All 25 original plants were completely homozygous for all markers, but each differed from all others at least in some markers. The population consisted of two genetically isolated groups of plants: a distinct inbred line (3 plants) and 22 plants with random associations of a common set of markers and characters, possibly recombinant inbreds from a past hybridization event. One of these 22 plants contained a chloroplast genome found inM. bigelovii, the other 24 plants a chloroplast genome found only inM. douglasii.     

The influence of aberrant values on the statistics related to a selection program

Summary Examples are presented to illustrate some of the effects aberrant values, in particular, measurement errors, may have on estimates of the genetic parameters related to selection studies. It is shown that aberrant values may cause observed response to selection pressure to differ considerably from predicted response. Possible dangers of indiscriminate screening are also discussed.
