Anteprojeto do centro de pesquisa nuclear: campo de roma

Neste breve documentos são sintetizados os resultados do estudo de anteprojeto do Centro de Pesquisas Nucleares "Campo Roma", que a Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN) prevê em aprovar. O trabalho foi conduzido no âmbito do acordo de cooperação entre o Governo da República do Brasil e o Governo da República Italiana no campo dos usos pacíficos da energia nuclear

Data from: "Transcriptome resources for two non-model freshwater crustacean species" in Genomic Resources Notes accepted 1 October 2014 to 30 November 2014

The aim of this study was to characterize the whole transcriptomes of two common Mediterranean freshwater crustaceans: the copepod Eucyclops serrulatus (Fischer, 1851) and the amphipod Echinogammarus veneris Heller, 1865. Whole transcriptomic approaches may assist in studying the response to environmental pollution of species with little or no available genomic information, allowing the identification of genes involved in adaptation processes to polluted environments that can be studied in expression profile variation at a later stage. Further studies based on our results may allow for a more comprehensive overview of how freshwater crustaceans react to specific stressors, both from surface and groundwater habitats, where sub-lethal concentrations of individual stressors may become harmful when combined

Data from: "Diagnostic SNPs for inferring population structure in American mink (Neovison vison) identified through RAD sequencing" in Genomic Resources Notes accepted 1 October 2014 to 30 November 2014

The article documents the public availability of RAD sequencing data and generated SNPs for the American mink (Neovison vison). 224,095 polymorphic loci were identified from 14 mink from which primers were designed for a subset of 380 SNPs. The panel was tested on 211 mink. Fisher's F-statistics (Fis, FIT and FST) as well as observed (HO), expected (HE) and unbiased expected (uHE) heterozygosity was calculated for the SNPs and 194 SNPs was validated as being useful for population genetic studies

Genomic data from the potato

Available here is the genome of the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), the first genome sequenced from the asterid clade. Potato is a member of the Solanaceae, a plant family that includes many other economically important species, such as tomato, petunia, eggplant, tobacco, and pepper. As the potato is both clonally propagated and the world;s most important non-grain food crop, its genome is a valuable agricultural resource. The Potato Genome Sequencing Consortium sequenced two species: the heterozygous diploid S. tuberosum Group Tuberosum cultivar, RH89-039-16 (RH), and the doubled monoploid S. tuberosum Group Phureja clone DM1-3 516R44 (DM). The potato genome consists of 12 chromosomes, of which over 80% of the homozygous clone’s 844-megabase genome were assembled. Genome analysis revealed evidence of at least two genome duplication events and identified a number of asterid-specific genes. Comparison between the two clones identified frequent gene variations and mutations, which may cause inbreeding depression
