    摘要: The invention relates to methods of increasing genetic merit of swine by establishing a plurality of mating subtypes for a line of swine, and determining a percentage of progeny that are male for each of the mating subtypes, or a percentage of progeny that are female for each of the mating subtypes, that would result, relative to a control, in an increase in genetic merit in the line; the invention further relates to sorting a sperm cell sample from a male swine in one of the mating subtypes into one or more subpopulations of sperm cells, wherein a majority of sperm cells in a subpopulation of sperm cells bear X chromosomes or Y chromosomes, and inseminating one or more female swine in the one of the mating subtypes with the subpopulation of sperm cells to achieve the percentage of progeny that are male, or the percentage of progeny that are female, determined to increase genetic merit relative to the control.

    摘要: An optical arrangement receives output light emanating from an object disposed within a fluid column that crosses an optical refraction boundary of the fluid column between the object and the optical arrangement. The optical arrangement modifies the output light such that the modified output light has an intensity that is more uniform than the output light.

    摘要: The invention includes a method of screening a biological sample for contamination by sequencing a first biological sample at a first depth to generate a first nucleotide sequence; determining map coordinates for one or more homozygous loci in the first nucleotide sequence; sequencing a second biological sample at a second depth to generate a second nucleotide sequence, wherein the second depth is lower than the first depth; determining loci in the second nucleotide sequence at the determined map coordinates; and comparing the one or more homozygous loci in the first nucleotide sequence with the determined loci in the second nucleotide sequence.
