AbstractSummaryThe large and growing number of microbial genomes available in public databases makes the optimal selection of reference genomes necessary for many in-silico analyses, e.g. single nucleotide polymorphism detection, scaffolding and comparative genomics, increasingly difficult. Here, we present ReferenceSeeker, a novel command line tool combining a fast kmer profile-based database lookup of candidate reference genomes with subsequent calculation of highly specific average nucleotide identity (ANI) values for the rapid determination of appropriate reference genomes. Pre-built databases for bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa and viruses based on the RefSeq database are provided for download.Availability and ImplementationReferenceSeeker is open source software implemented in Python. Source code and binaries are freely available for download at https://github.com/oschwengers/referenceseeker under the GNU GPL3 [email protected]

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was successfully applied to chemical free and rapid determination of the organic matter in soil, and moving window partial least square (MWPLS) combining with Savitzky-Golay (SG) smoothing was used to the selection of NIR waveband. Thirty-five samples were randomly selected from all 97 collected soil samples as the validation set. The remaining 62 samples were divided into similar modeling calibration set (37 samples) and modeling prediction set (25 samples) based on partial least square cross-validation predictive bias (PLSPB). The selected waveband was 1896 nm to 2138 nm; the SG smoothing parameters and PLS factor OD, DP, NSP and F were 2, 6, 71 and 15, respectively; the modeling effect M-SEP and M-RPwere 0.219% and 0.944, respectively; the validating effect V-SEP and V-RPwere 0.243% and 0.878, respectively. The result provided a reliable NIR model and valuable references for designing specialized NIR instruments.

Determination of genetic resources and their diversity constitutes are the initial step of the breeding programs. Before starting to the selection of the desired properties, many molecular methods are used to determine the existing genetic potential and determine the genotypic values. Many molecular methods (RAPD, RFLP, AFLP, SSR and DNA sequencing etc.) based on PCR technology are used to identify populations, identify genes related to yield and resistance, and demonstrate phylogenetic relationships. Many software’s for the analysis of molecular datasets obtained from molecular methods have been developed and the field of bioinformatics was born. In this study, after DNA sequence analysis; it is aimed to give information about haplotype analysis by determining SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism's) in individuals of populations, calculation of the genetic distance among populations and within populations, and software and analysis used for phylogenetic tree drawing.

In studying ion implanted semiconductors and fast neutron irradiated metals, the need for characterizing small dislocation loops having diameters of a few hundred angstrom units usually arises. The weak beam imaging method is a powerful technique for analyzing these loops. Because of the large reduction in stacking fault (SF) fringe spacing at large sg, this method allows for a rapid determination of whether the loop is faulted, and, hence, whether it is a perfect or a Frank partial loop. This method was first used by Bicknell to image small faulted loops in boron implanted silicon. He explained the fringe spacing by kinematical theory, i.e., ≃l/(Sg) in the fault fringe in depth oscillation. The fault image contrast formation mechanism is, however, really more complicated.
