TL;DR: Genetic evaluations based on test day yields offer many advantages over those based on 305-day lactations including better modeling of factors affecting yields, no need to extend records, and possibly greater accuracy of evaluations.

TL;DR: The frequency distribution of agonistic interactions was approximately doubled during the estrous period while the distribution of instigator/victim ratios reached the highest value one day before estrus and the lowest value on the first post estrus day.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of allowing individuals to contribute any desired proportion of their endowments toward a threshold public good was examined experimentally, and it was shown that continuous rather than binary "all-or-nothing" contributions significantly increased contributions and facilitated provision.

TL;DR: The AFLP technique has been extensively used with plant DNA for the development of high-resolution genetic maps and for the positional cloning of genes of interest, but its application is rapidly expanding in bacteria and higher eukaryotes for determining genetic relationships and for epidemiological typing.
Abstract: Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) is a novel molecular fingerprinting technique that can be applied to DNAs of any source or complexity. Total genomic DNA is digested using two restriction enzymes. Double-stranded nucleotide adapters are ligated to the DNA fragments to serve as primer binding sites for PCR amplification. Primers complementary to the adapter and restriction site sequence, with additional nucleotides at the 3′-end, are used as selective agents to amplify a subset of ligated fragments. Polymorphisms are identified by the presence or absence of DNA fragments following analysis on polyacrylamide gels. This technique has been extensively used with plant DNA for the development of high-resolution genetic maps and for the positional cloning of genes of interest. However, its application is rapidly expanding in bacteria and higher eukaryotes for determining genetic relationships and for epidemiological typing. This review describes the AFLP procedure, and recent, novel applications in the molecular fingerprinting of DNA from both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.
