APPLICATION OF SNP IN GENETIC SEX IDENTIFICATION AND EFFECT OF ESTRADIOL ON GENE EXPRESSION OF SEX-RELATED GENES IN STRONGYLOCENTROTUS INTERMEDIUS

Application of SNP in Genetic Sex Identification and Effect of Estradiol on Gene Expression of Sex-Related Genes in Strongylocentrotus intermedius

Sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus intermedius) is an economically important mariculture species in Asia, Rise of the Beasts and its gonads are the only edible part.The efficiency of genetic breeding in sea urchins is hampered due to the inability to distinguish gender by appearance.In this study, we first identified a sex-associated single nucleotide

The Boring Monopole

We study false vacuum decays catalysed by magnetic monopoles which act as tunnelling sites with exponentially enhanced decay rates.The field profiles describing the decay do not have the typically assumed $O(3)/O(4)$ symmetry, thus requiring an extension of the WOMENS TOPS usual decay rate calculation.To numerically determine the saddle point solut

Experiences of menstruation in high income countries: A systematic review, qualitative evidence synthesis and comparison to low- and middle-income countries.

BackgroundThere is growing recognition of the importance of menstruation in achieving health, education, and gender equality for all.New policies in high income countries (HICs) have responded to anecdotal evidence that many struggle to meet their menstrual health needs.Qualitative research has explored lived experiences of menstruating in HICs and

Pristionchus nematodes occur frequently in diverse rotting vegetal substrates and are not exclusively necromenic, while Panagrellus redivivoides is found specifically in rotting fruits.

The lifestyle and feeding habits of nematodes are highly diverse.Several species of Pristionchus (Nematoda: Diplogastridae), including Pristionchus pacificus, have been reported SCISSORS to be necromenic, i.e.to associate with beetles in their dauer diapause stage and wait until the death of their host to resume development and feed on microbes in
