Abstract Background Meat and egg-type chickens have been selected for several generations for different traits.Artificial and natural selection for different phenotypes can change frequency of genetic variants, leaving particular genomic footprints throghtout the genome.Thus, the aims of this study were to sequence 28 chickens from two Brazilian li
The Quercus is the main genus of the Fagaceae with about 300 to 600 species in the world.Both the vestiture and trichome types are important in the taxonomy of Quercus species and hybrids.Although particular terms have been used for a long time, the terminology for both vestiture and trichome types has not been standardized, glossaries differ in th
Interactive computer-based music systems form a rich area for the exploration of collaborative systems where sensors play an active role and are important to the design process.The Soundcool system is a collaborative and educational system for sound and music creation as Round Cake Pan well as multimedia scenographic projects, allowing students to
Neutrophils, the most abundant white blood cells in humans, are critical for host defense against invading pathogens.Equipped with an array of antimicrobial molecules, neutrophils can eradicate bacteria and clear debris.Among the microbicide proteins is the heme protein myeloperoxidase (MPO), stored in the azurophilic granules, and catalyzes the fo
