OPTIMIZED USE OF LOW-DEPTH GENOTYPING-BY-SEQUENCING FOR GENOMIC PREDICTION AMONG MULTI-PARENTAL FAMILY POOLS AND SINGLE PLANTS IN PERENNIAL RYEGRASS (LOLIUM PERENNE L.)

Ryegrass single plants, bi-parental family pools, and multi-parental family pools are often genotyped, based on allele-frequencies using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) assays.GBS assays can be performed at low-coverage depth to reduce costs.However, reducing the coverage depth leads to a higher proportion of missing data, and leads to a reduction i

Vitrification is a common technique for cryopreserving oocytes or embryos.However, manual vitrification is tedious and labor-intensive, and can be subject to variations caused by human factors.To address these challenges, we developed an automated vitrification-thawing system (AVTS) based on a cryo-handle.Our study firstly assessed the efficiency o

The problem of ontology mapping is tackled in the context of MAS and real life ontologies, context that requires an increased degree of dynamism and the ability to handle high amounts of bullard usrx data.Our solution follows the guidelines of lazy mapping, striving to map only what is necessary and only when it is necessary by using lexical based
