Breed and crossbreeding effects on growth, fitness and reproduction of commercial sheep in South Africa

M. A. Kao et al.

Summary: The study found no significant additive breed differences for growth, fitness, and reproduction traits between Dorpers and SAMM sheep, but significant heterosis effects were observed, indicating the potential role of crosses between Dorpers and SAMMs in commercial production.

A handmade DNA extraction kit using laundry powder; insights on simplicity, cost-efficiency, rapidity, safety and the quality of purified DNA

Reza Talebi et al.

Summary: This study presents an in-house kit for high throughput DNA extraction using laundry detergent, with a simplified lysis buffer made from EDTA, Tris, and laundry powder. The homemade kit successfully extracted clean DNA from all blood samples, outperforming commercial kits and the traditional salting-out procedure in terms of simplicity, cost-efficiency, quantity, and quality of purified DNA.
