A genetic complementation test is used to determine the location and nature of mutations. Complementation tests allow molecular biologists and geneticists to specifically determine whether a mutation is in the same gene or in the same bacterial cistron...

In genetics, complementation refers to a relationship between two different strains of an organism which both have homozygous recessive mutations that produce the same phenotype (for example, a change in wing structure in flies). These strains are...

ABSTRACT A genetic map of the filamentous fungus Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph: Gibberella zeae) was constructed to both validate and augment the draft whole-genome sequence assembly of strain PH-1. A mapping population was created from a cross between mutants of the sequenced strain (PH-1,...

Pepper plants (Capsicum annuum) containing the Bs2 resistance gene are resistant to strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv vesicatoria (Xcv) expressing the bacterial effector protein AvrBs2. AvrBs2 is delivered directly to the plant cell via the type III protein secretion system (TTSS) of Xcv. Upon...

Amiina is elegance personified. The quartet that started as a supporting band for Sigur Ros has clearly defined a place for themselves with their debut record Kurr. From the first whispers of bells to the hushed ending, the songs take you through your imagination's landscapes....

An Abyssinian cat from Missouri, named Cinnamon, has just made scientific history. Researchers have largely decoded her DNA, a step that may aid the search for treatments for both feline and human diseases.The report adds cats to the roughly two dozen mammals whose DNA has...
