Assessing the effectiveness of the Synthenic and Rearrangement Identifier (SyRI) tool for finding genomic rearrangements; A case study of comparison between RefBeet (Chr3) and Beta vulgaris s
This project discusses the influence of genomic structure on phenotypic expression in plants and animals, emphasizing intraspecific variations arising from diverse genomic structures. It highlights historical misinterpretations of structural rearrangements and advocates for comprehensive whole chromosome comparisons. The project focuses on using the SyRI tool to validate findings from whole-genome analysis of sugar beet and sea beet genomes, revealing insights into the role of the Rz2 locus i...
Effect of White Ginger Root (mondia whitei) On Haematological Indices and Serum Biochemistry of Starter Broiler Chickens
This study focused on determining the effect of white ginger root (Mondia whitei) on haematological indices and serum biochemistry of starter broiler chickens. A 28-day feeding trial was conducted using a total of One hundred and fifty Arbor Acre broiler chicken. The birds were divided into five dietary groups with three replicates of ten birds. The dietary groups were control (basal diet), Mondia whitei meal (MWM) + basal diet at graded levels of 1g/kg, 1.5g/kg, 2.0g/kg and 2.5g/kg. Blood sa...
