DETECTING PARENT OF ORIGIN AND DOMINANT QTL IN A TWO-GENERATION COMMERCIAL POULTRY PEDIGREE USING VARIANCE COMPONENT METHODOLOGY

Detecting parent of origin and dominant QTL in a two-generation commercial poultry pedigree using variance component methodology

Abstract Introduction Variance component QTL methodology was used to analyse three candidate regions on chicken chromosomes 1, 4 and 5 for dominant and parent-of-origin QTL effects.Data were available for bodyweight and conformation score ROSE PURE CASTILE SOAP measured at 40 days from a two-generation commercial broiler dam line.One hundred dams w

Capacitive Tactile Sensor Based on Dielectric Oil Displacement out of a Parylene Dome into Surrounding Channels

We propose a concept of a flexible Shorts sensor array using a novel capacitive force sensor not having a vulnerable electrode on the force applied site.It has a polymer domed structure inside which silicone oil is contained.When the force is applied, the oil is pushed into the surrounding thin channels, where the change in capacitance due to the i
