Concordance_of_HTA_array_and_real_time_qPCR_results
The document compares gene expression and alternative splicing data from an Affymetrix microarray to real-time PCR results. It shows excellent concordance between microarray and PCR for both gene-level fold changes (R=0.96) and alternative splicing events (all events validated) when using USB VeriQuest qPCR master mixes. Eighty-four genes with a wide range of expression levels were analyzed for gene-level validation, and 15 alternative splicing events from 3 tissue types were validated for splicing accuracy.

The document summarizes a study that examined the effect of silencing hnRNP A1 and hnRNP A2/B1 splice factors on the expression of CD44v6 and CD44v10 exons in glioma cells. The researchers found that knockdown of hnRNP A1 and hnRNP A2/B1 led to decreased expression of CD44v6 and CD44v10 exons based on qRT-PCR analysis. Specifically, cells with silenced splice factors had lower expression of the two exons compared to non-silenced control cells. Therefore, hnRNP A1 and hnRNP A2/B1 may positively regulate the expression of

This document summarizes a study comparing gene expression results from a SYBR Green-based real-time PCR array to other technologies using two reference RNA samples. The PCR array showed high reproducibility and accuracy when compared to quantitative PCR methods like TaqMan and microarray platforms. There was a high degree of overlap between differentially expressed gene lists from the PCR array and other technologies. The PCR array provides a convenient, cost-effective way to simultaneously analyze expression of multiple genes related to the same pathway using validated primers.
Development of a high throughput workflow for genotyping CFTR mutations
The document describes the development of over 200 TaqMan assays to detect mutations in the CFTR gene that cause cystic fibrosis. Key mutations were selected from databases and assays were designed to target single nucleotide variants, insertions/deletions, and large deletions. Assays were tested on various sample types and plate formats, with some assays requiring redesign to robustly detect mutations. The developed assays and analysis workflow provide a high-throughput method for CFTR mutation detection to help research efforts.

Multiplex TaqMan Assays for Rare Mutation Analysis Using Digital PCR
Detection of rare mutations in tumor tissue and cell free DNA (cfDNA) allows for monitoring of tumor progression and regression for research purposes. cfDNA isolated from plasma combined with a sensitive detection method like digital PCR is non- invasive and enables earlier detection compared to conventional imaging techniques. Building on the TaqMan based Rare Mutation assay set for detection of rare mutations using digital PCR on the QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR System, we are now developing multiplex assays for simultaneous detection of several mutations. We selected relevant mutations in the EGFR and KRAS genes for our initial multiplex application: EGFR G719, EGFR exon 19 deletions, and
KRAS G12/G13. These mutations may have implications for potential future targeted therapy. Primers and probes of singleplex Rare Mutation Assays were reformulated to generate multiplex assays detecting the EGFR and KRAS mutations. All multiplex assays were tested on template composed of wild-type genomic DNA background mixed with mutant plasmid reflecting each of the mutations detected by the multiplex
assays. Initial experimental results were successful and showed excellent signal intensity and clear cluster separation when analyzed with the QuantStudio 3D AnalysisSuiteTM Cloud Software. The EGFR G719 mutations (COSM6239, COSM6253, COSM6252) were detected using a 3plex assay, EGFR exon 19 deletions (COSM12383, COSM12422, COSM12678, COSM6223, COSM6254, COSM6255) were detected using a 6plex assay, and KRAS G12/G13 mutations (COSM516,
COSM517, COSM518, COSM520, COSM521, COSM522, COSM527, COSM532) were detected using an 8plex. Multiplexing assays for three relevant mutation loci proved feasible and presents an efficient way to assess the presence and the percentage of mutations at these loci.

This presentation summarizes a study on the seroprevalence and efficacy of commercial vaccines against Newcastle disease in layer birds. The study tested blood samples from layer farms to determine the seroprevalence of Newcastle disease. It then evaluated the immune response in grower and layer birds vaccinated with different commercial vaccines. The results showed the prevalence of Newcastle disease in the tested farms. It also found that all the commercial vaccines tested induced protective antibody levels against Newcastle disease by day 7 and 14 post vaccination. Cevac New L vaccine using the LaSota strain may be an effective choice for layer farms, though other vaccines could also be used.

MS Presentation (1)
MS was detected in chicken flocks in Egypt during 2013 using PCR. MS infected 3 layer flocks out of 16 tested (18.75%) suffering from dropped egg production and respiratory signs. 4 broiler flocks out of 26 (15.38%) showed respiratory signs and 5-10% mortality. Sequencing revealed the Egyptian strains were genetically similar to Japanese, Armenian and Brazilian strains but not Middle Eastern strains. PCR is a useful method for rapid detection of MS infection. MS may play a role in respiratory disease in broilers and dropped egg production in layers in Egypt.

Although breeders have been doing their best to produce peanuts with higher resistance to aflatoxin, their efforts have not been very successful. One of the main reasons for this is limited knowledge and information available on the three mechanisms of resistance to aflatoxin in peanut and their associated genes: (1) resistance to in vitro seed colonization (IVSC), (2) resistance to pre-harvest seed infection, and (3) resistance to pre-harvest aflatoxin production (PAC).

1) The document discusses approaches to developing enhanced foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccines in Africa using reverse genetics. This includes developing inter-serotype chimeric vaccines that elicit protection against multiple serotypes.
2) Studies showed that chimeric viruses containing epitopes from different serotypes produced immune responses similar to parental vaccines and protected against challenge. Stabilized capsid mutants also showed potential to improve vaccine shelf life.
3) The goal is to design universal vaccines that provide protection for all serotypes or within a serotype through directed evolution or engineering of antigenic sites to change antibody reactivity to heterologous viruses.

This document summarizes a study that used pathway-focused real-time PCR arrays to study extracellular matrix proteins and cell adhesion molecules in breast tumor development. Two PCR arrays were used - a Cancer PathwayFinder array and an Extracellular Matrix and Adhesion Molecules array. RNA from a breast tumor and normal breast tissue were analyzed on the Cancer PathwayFinder array, identifying 33 genes with at least a 3-fold expression change between tumor and normal tissue, including 7 cell adhesion molecules. Further analysis of a second tumor on the Extracellular Matrix array identified 38 cell adhesion genes with at least a 3-fold change, implicating these pathways in breast tumor formation.
Lentiviral mediated CRISPR/Cas9
This study evaluated the effectiveness of using a lentivirus delivery system to introduce CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in a salmonid fish cell line. The researchers optimized transfection conditions and achieved up to 60% editing efficiency at the desired RIG-I and EGFP loci. While lentivirus integration led to high editing rates, it can also result in off-target effects. The study demonstrated the potential of CRISPR/Cas9 for modeling disease resistance in fish, though more work is still needed to minimize off-target mutations.

Gene expression profile of the tumor microenvironment from 40 NSCLC FFPE and ...Thermo Fisher Scientific
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is the intersection between tumor cells and
surrounding non-transformed cells. It contains immune cells, signaling molecules,
stromal and extracellular matrix. Research has shown the TME is often associated
with tumor growth. However, the function and regulatory mechanism of each
constituent is still poorly understood. The presence of PD-L1 is a promising marker
to predict positive response for T cell checkpoint therapy. Current IHC methods to
measure PD-L1 are subjective and highly variable. A higher-throughput and
standardized method that can systematically measure gene expression of cells
present in the TME has emerged to be a more desirable solution.
We applied the OncomineTM Immune Response Research Assay to measure the
expression of 395 genes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) research samples
from 40 matched FFPE and fresh frozen sample types. This assay covers genes
involved in checkpoint pathway, T cell regulation, cytokine and interferon signaling
pathways, and markers of different tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) subsets, as
well as tumor markers. With an input requirement of 10 ng of total RNA, libraries
were generated, templated on the Ion ChefTM and sequenced on the Ion S5TM
System. Sequencing data was analyzed and mapped with Torrent Suite Software
and differential expression analysis was conducted with AffymetrixTM Transcriptome

- The study investigated the genetic variability, infectivity, virulence, and stability of four SAT2 foot-and-mouth disease viruses. It found that the viruses had a wide range in stability at low pH and high temperatures. They also caused varying degrees of clinical signs in cattle from mild to severe, but this did not correlate with virulence in cell culture.
- One virus, ZIM/7/83, was more virulent in cell culture but did not necessarily cause more severe disease in cattle. The variance in pathogenesis among the SAT2 viruses was not explained by differences in cell lysis, viral fitness during co-infection, or capsid stability.
- The results emphasize that not all SAT2

This document discusses strategies for developing durable rust resistance in wheat through conventional breeding and marker-assisted selection. It describes integrating minor gene resistance with major gene pyramiding to tackle evolving rust pathogens. Breeding efforts included recombining diverse parental lines to accumulate multiple minor genes while screening under high disease pressure. Marker-assisted backcrossing was used to introgress major genes like Lr19 and Lr24 into popular varieties while recovering most of the original genetic background. The resulting lines showed improved resistance to multiple rust diseases in India.Utilization of NGS data and genomic selection to rescue an endangered and her...
The Florida Cracker Sheep (FCS) is one of the oldest sheep breeds in the United States. This heritage breed from Florida, naturally adapted to humid and hot climate conditions, is one of the most parasite resistant breeds from the Southern US. However, approximately 1,000 individuals remain alive in the world. Therefore, more research and conservational efforts are required to support all the FCS producers from Florida and rescue FCS from extinction.
Advancements in NGS technologies and reduction in genotyping costs have allowed the utilization of these tools in animal genetics and genomics. We followed up a FCS population (n = 350) from a commercial farm to evaluate parasite resistance traits (FEC, FAMACHA score, hematocrit) using a longitudinal study and genotyped 300 sheep using the GGP Ovine 50k array. Analysis with Golden Helix SVS software identified 15 SNPs with additive and non-additive effects associated with parasite resistance in chromosome 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11,12, 13 and 21. Also, a deletion CNV was associated with parasite resistance (FEC) in chromosome 21. Some of these DNA variants were located in STAT5B, NRIPI, TRPM3, WC1, GPC5, CELF2 and RAB3IL genes which control immune response mechanisms in sheep.
Validation of these results and implementation of genomic selection utilizing information from NGS, SNP genotyping and WGS can be easily performed by Golden Helix SVS software. This will allow the implementation of breeding and conservational programs in FCS farms and will improve the profitability of farms over the long term by incorporating the use of genetically parasite resistant sheep and promote local sheep meat production in Florida.

This document summarizes methods for predicting the functional effects of amino acid substitutions, including SIFT (Sorts Intolerant From Tolerant), which uses sequence conservation to predict whether an amino acid substitution will affect protein function. SIFT has similar prediction accuracy to tools using protein structure. Case studies on disease genes like MSHR, PPARα, and MTHFR show SIFT can distinguish pathogenic from benign variants and detect variants under balancing selection. Focusing genetic association studies on predicted functional variants in genes and conserved non-coding regions improves the direct approach to finding disease loci.
Advances in Breast Tumor Biomarker Discovery Methods
Forecasting clinical behavior and therapeutic response of human cancer currently utilizes a limited number of tumor markers in combination with characteristics of the patient and their disease. Although few tumor markers and molecular targets exist for evaluation, the wealth of information derived from recent sequencing advancements provides greater opportunities to develop more precise tests for diagnostics, prognostics, therapy selection and monitoring in the future. The objectives of this study are to study miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of laser capture microdissection (LCM)-procured tumor cells and intact serial sections of breast tissue samples using next generation sequencing (NGS) methods. Our hypothesis is that miRNA signatures discerned from specific tumor cell populations more precisely correlate with behavior than that provided by conventional biomarkers from intact tissue samples. Additionally, we hypothesize the data generated in this study will present mRNA signatures informative for breast tumor research and support our miRNA findings through suggesting relevant miRNA:mRNA target associations.
De-identified frozen research samples of primary invasive ductal tumors of known grade and biomarker status containing 35-70% tumor were selected from an IRB-approved Biorepository. Comparison of expressed miRNAs from intact tissue sections with those of cognate tumor cells procured by LCM revealed, in general, that smaller defined miRNA gene sets were expressed in LCM isolated populations of tumor cells. In addition to miRNA sequencing, targeted RNA sequencing with the Ion AmpliSeq™ Transcriptome Human Gene Expression Kit was used to capture mRNA expression information. Data presented here demonstrates high mapping rates for targeted mRNA (>91% of reads) and miRNA (> 88% of reads) libraries. We also demonstrate high technical reproducibility between multiple libraries from the same tumor sample for both mRNA (R>0.99) and miRNA (R>0.97) libraries. We also report suggested miRNA:mRNA target associations identified in our set of breast tumor research samples. These data provide insights into breast cancer biology that may lead to new molecular diagnostics and targets for drug design in the future as well as an improved understanding of the molecular basis of clinical behavior and potential therapeutic response.

This document analyzes the genetic purity of a watermelon hybrid variety ("CL-Hy-01") using microsatellite markers, and compares it to an analysis using field grow-out tests. One polymorphic microsatellite marker ("WMU4702") was identified that distinguished the two parental inbred lines. Analysis of 98 F1 hybrid seeds using this marker found 96.9% genetic purity. A field grow-out test of 100 F1 seeds found 97% purity based on morphological traits. The results of the microsatellite and field tests were comparable, demonstrating that microsatellite analysis can accurately assess hybrid purity in a shorter time than conventional field testing.
Detection and Surveillance of Antibiotic Resistance Genes From Food and Ferti...
One potential way to acquire antibiotic resistance genes is through the food supply chain. Both livestock and feed may
acquire antibiotic resistant bacteria via different mechanisms. Foodstuffs can be exposed to antibiotic resistant bacteria
through fertilizer originating from waste-water treatment plants. This, in addition to increasing administration of antibiotics
to livestock, can lead to food being a potential source of antibiotic resistance genes. This may lead to horizontal gene
transfer to pathogenic enteropathogens and further to drug resistance in humans. Therefore, the surveillance and prevention
of antibiotic resistance genes in food is important.
To effectively combat the spread of difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, rapid surveillance methods to detect antibiotic
resistance genes are required; in order to monitor both bacterial isolates and metagenomic samples.
Since the gut is known to act as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes, a small-scale research study was performed on
5 stool samples isolated from healthy human adults using an antibiotic resistance gene identification PCR array. In addition,
the diversity of antibiotic resistance genes in municipal biosolids was determined using an Antibiotic Resistance Genes
Microbial DNA qPCR Array with DNA extracted from belt-filter, press-cake sewage samples.
22 antibiotic resistance genes were identified from different resistance classifications. Further studies were performed in
beef, chicken, vegetable and pork samples. In conclusion, PCR arrays can be effective tools for detection of antibiotic
resistance genes from food samples and potential fertilizer sources.

This document summarizes a study that used pathway-focused real-time PCR arrays to study extracellular matrix proteins and cell adhesion molecules in breast tumor development. Two PCR arrays were used - a Cancer PathwayFinder array and an Extracellular Matrix and Adhesion Molecules array. RNA from a breast tumor and normal breast tissue were analyzed on the Cancer PathwayFinder array, identifying 33 genes with at least a 3-fold expression change between tumor and normal tissue, including 7 cell adhesion molecules. Further analysis of a second tumor on the Extracellular Matrix array identified 38 cell adhesion genes with at least a 3-fold change, implicating these pathways in breast tumor formation.
Lentiviral mediated CRISPR/Cas9
This study evaluated the effectiveness of using a lentivirus delivery system to introduce CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in a salmonid fish cell line. The researchers optimized transfection conditions and achieved up to 60% editing efficiency at the desired RIG-I and EGFP loci. While lentivirus integration led to high editing rates, it can also result in off-target effects. The study demonstrated the potential of CRISPR/Cas9 for modeling disease resistance in fish, though more work is still needed to minimize off-target mutations.
ASGCT 2015 Poster (Final)
(A) Analysis of 60 lentiviral vector batches produced using bluebird bio's manufacturing process showed a linear correlation between harvest infectious titers and final product titers, regardless of the construct or scale. The correlation was strongest at the 2L scale.
(B) Harvest titers correlated well with p24 concentrations, which can estimate total particle concentrations. Estimated particle-to-infectivity ratios for 6 batches averaged 84 and ranged from 70-103.
(C) Process yields averaged 37% and were consistent, with 75% of batches between 30-50%. Most batch failures were due to specific constructs producing low titers.

Gene expression profile of the tumor microenvironment from 40 NSCLC FFPE and ...Thermo Fisher Scientific
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is the intersection between tumor cells and
surrounding non-transformed cells. It contains immune cells, signaling molecules,
stromal and extracellular matrix. Research has shown the TME is often associated
with tumor growth. However, the function and regulatory mechanism of each
constituent is still poorly understood. The presence of PD-L1 is a promising marker
to predict positive response for T cell checkpoint therapy. Current IHC methods to
measure PD-L1 are subjective and highly variable. A higher-throughput and
standardized method that can systematically measure gene expression of cells
present in the TME has emerged to be a more desirable solution.
We applied the OncomineTM Immune Response Research Assay to measure the
expression of 395 genes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) research samples
from 40 matched FFPE and fresh frozen sample types. This assay covers genes
involved in checkpoint pathway, T cell regulation, cytokine and interferon signaling
pathways, and markers of different tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) subsets, as
well as tumor markers. With an input requirement of 10 ng of total RNA, libraries
were generated, templated on the Ion ChefTM and sequenced on the Ion S5TM
System. Sequencing data was analyzed and mapped with Torrent Suite Software
and differential expression analysis was conducted with AffymetrixTM Transcriptome

- The study investigated the genetic variability, infectivity, virulence, and stability of four SAT2 foot-and-mouth disease viruses. It found that the viruses had a wide range in stability at low pH and high temperatures. They also caused varying degrees of clinical signs in cattle from mild to severe, but this did not correlate with virulence in cell culture.
- One virus, ZIM/7/83, was more virulent in cell culture but did not necessarily cause more severe disease in cattle. The variance in pathogenesis among the SAT2 viruses was not explained by differences in cell lysis, viral fitness during co-infection, or capsid stability.
- The results emphasize that not all SAT2

This document discusses strategies for developing durable rust resistance in wheat through conventional breeding and marker-assisted selection. It describes integrating minor gene resistance with major gene pyramiding to tackle evolving rust pathogens. Breeding efforts included recombining diverse parental lines to accumulate multiple minor genes while screening under high disease pressure. Marker-assisted backcrossing was used to introgress major genes like Lr19 and Lr24 into popular varieties while recovering most of the original genetic background. The resulting lines showed improved resistance to multiple rust diseases in India.Utilization of NGS data and genomic selection to rescue an endangered and her...
The Florida Cracker Sheep (FCS) is one of the oldest sheep breeds in the United States. This heritage breed from Florida, naturally adapted to humid and hot climate conditions, is one of the most parasite resistant breeds from the Southern US. However, approximately 1,000 individuals remain alive in the world. Therefore, more research and conservational efforts are required to support all the FCS producers from Florida and rescue FCS from extinction.
Advancements in NGS technologies and reduction in genotyping costs have allowed the utilization of these tools in animal genetics and genomics. We followed up a FCS population (n = 350) from a commercial farm to evaluate parasite resistance traits (FEC, FAMACHA score, hematocrit) using a longitudinal study and genotyped 300 sheep using the GGP Ovine 50k array. Analysis with Golden Helix SVS software identified 15 SNPs with additive and non-additive effects associated with parasite resistance in chromosome 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11,12, 13 and 21. Also, a deletion CNV was associated with parasite resistance (FEC) in chromosome 21. Some of these DNA variants were located in STAT5B, NRIPI, TRPM3, WC1, GPC5, CELF2 and RAB3IL genes which control immune response mechanisms in sheep.
Validation of these results and implementation of genomic selection utilizing information from NGS, SNP genotyping and WGS can be easily performed by Golden Helix SVS software. This will allow the implementation of breeding and conservational programs in FCS farms and will improve the profitability of farms over the long term by incorporating the use of genetically parasite resistant sheep and promote local sheep meat production in Florida.

This document summarizes methods for predicting the functional effects of amino acid substitutions, including SIFT (Sorts Intolerant From Tolerant), which uses sequence conservation to predict whether an amino acid substitution will affect protein function. SIFT has similar prediction accuracy to tools using protein structure. Case studies on disease genes like MSHR, PPARα, and MTHFR show SIFT can distinguish pathogenic from benign variants and detect variants under balancing selection. Focusing genetic association studies on predicted functional variants in genes and conserved non-coding regions improves the direct approach to finding disease loci.
Advances in Breast Tumor Biomarker Discovery Methods
Forecasting clinical behavior and therapeutic response of human cancer currently utilizes a limited number of tumor markers in combination with characteristics of the patient and their disease. Although few tumor markers and molecular targets exist for evaluation, the wealth of information derived from recent sequencing advancements provides greater opportunities to develop more precise tests for diagnostics, prognostics, therapy selection and monitoring in the future. The objectives of this study are to study miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of laser capture microdissection (LCM)-procured tumor cells and intact serial sections of breast tissue samples using next generation sequencing (NGS) methods. Our hypothesis is that miRNA signatures discerned from specific tumor cell populations more precisely correlate with behavior than that provided by conventional biomarkers from intact tissue samples. Additionally, we hypothesize the data generated in this study will present mRNA signatures informative for breast tumor research and support our miRNA findings through suggesting relevant miRNA:mRNA target associations.
De-identified frozen research samples of primary invasive ductal tumors of known grade and biomarker status containing 35-70% tumor were selected from an IRB-approved Biorepository. Comparison of expressed miRNAs from intact tissue sections with those of cognate tumor cells procured by LCM revealed, in general, that smaller defined miRNA gene sets were expressed in LCM isolated populations of tumor cells. In addition to miRNA sequencing, targeted RNA sequencing with the Ion AmpliSeq™ Transcriptome Human Gene Expression Kit was used to capture mRNA expression information. Data presented here demonstrates high mapping rates for targeted mRNA (>91% of reads) and miRNA (> 88% of reads) libraries. We also demonstrate high technical reproducibility between multiple libraries from the same tumor sample for both mRNA (R>0.99) and miRNA (R>0.97) libraries. We also report suggested miRNA:mRNA target associations identified in our set of breast tumor research samples. These data provide insights into breast cancer biology that may lead to new molecular diagnostics and targets for drug design in the future as well as an improved understanding of the molecular basis of clinical behavior and potential therapeutic response.

This document analyzes the genetic purity of a watermelon hybrid variety ("CL-Hy-01") using microsatellite markers, and compares it to an analysis using field grow-out tests. One polymorphic microsatellite marker ("WMU4702") was identified that distinguished the two parental inbred lines. Analysis of 98 F1 hybrid seeds using this marker found 96.9% genetic purity. A field grow-out test of 100 F1 seeds found 97% purity based on morphological traits. The results of the microsatellite and field tests were comparable, demonstrating that microsatellite analysis can accurately assess hybrid purity in a shorter time than conventional field testing.
Detection and Surveillance of Antibiotic Resistance Genes From Food and Ferti...
One potential way to acquire antibiotic resistance genes is through the food supply chain. Both livestock and feed may
acquire antibiotic resistant bacteria via different mechanisms. Foodstuffs can be exposed to antibiotic resistant bacteria
through fertilizer originating from waste-water treatment plants. This, in addition to increasing administration of antibiotics
to livestock, can lead to food being a potential source of antibiotic resistance genes. This may lead to horizontal gene
transfer to pathogenic enteropathogens and further to drug resistance in humans. Therefore, the surveillance and prevention
of antibiotic resistance genes in food is important.
To effectively combat the spread of difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, rapid surveillance methods to detect antibiotic
resistance genes are required; in order to monitor both bacterial isolates and metagenomic samples.
Since the gut is known to act as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes, a small-scale research study was performed on
5 stool samples isolated from healthy human adults using an antibiotic resistance gene identification PCR array. In addition,
the diversity of antibiotic resistance genes in municipal biosolids was determined using an Antibiotic Resistance Genes
Microbial DNA qPCR Array with DNA extracted from belt-filter, press-cake sewage samples.
22 antibiotic resistance genes were identified from different resistance classifications. Further studies were performed in
beef, chicken, vegetable and pork samples. In conclusion, PCR arrays can be effective tools for detection of antibiotic
resistance genes from food samples and potential fertilizer sources.

The document discusses new dimensions in seed quality assurance. It explains that quality assurance ensures seeds meet minimum quality standards and provides uniformity. Key parameters for quality include variety, purity, physiological status, and health. Quality control tests seeds using standard procedures in accredited labs. Newer dimensions include more precise tests to differentiate similar varieties, reliable GM tests, automation to reduce errors, and guidelines for seed enhancement protocols. Molecular markers can help verify identities, test purity and traits, and detect GM presence. Automation shows potential to improve accuracy by eliminating human error in tests like germination and purity analysis using machine vision and AI. Seed coating, pelleting and new priming technologies can also enhance seed quality but require standardized protocols and rules.

CISGENICS
This case study describes the development of cisgenic barley with improved phytase activity through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. 72 transgenic T0 barley plants were produced by co-transforming with two vectors, one containing the HvPAPhy_a gene and the other a selectable marker. 19 plants were found to contain only the HvPAPhy_a insert through PCR analysis. Two of these plants, PAPhy05 and PAPhy07, showed increased phytase activity and a 3:1 segregation ratio in progeny, indicating single insertions of HvPAPhy_a without the selectable marker. This demonstrates the successful production and analysis of cisgenic barley
Marker assistant selection
Marker assisted selection (MAS) uses DNA markers linked to traits of interest to assist plant breeders in selecting desirable plants. MAS can increase the efficiency and precision of plant breeding by allowing selection at early generations or at the seedling stage before phenotypic selection. It also reduces the influence of environmental effects and allows selection of homozygous plants. While MAS has advantages over conventional breeding, its use in actual breeding programs remains limited due to technical and cost constraints. Further optimization and integration of molecular genetics with plant breeding is needed to fully realize the potential of MAS.

Our PAG XXVI Presentations: Integrating Marker-Assisted Selection into a Popu...Integrated Breeding Platform
Rice breeding is both challenged and benefited by the fact that a successful varietal improvement program must embrace both the integration single genes that segregate in a simple Mendelian fashion as well as complex traits that are inherited in more quantitative ways. For decades the rice genetics community has produced a wealth of knowledge about these single genes and has developed markers that allow a breeder to track them in a population. However, marker assisted selection (MAS) alone is insufficient to drive the rates of genetic gain for more complex traits that are equally necessary. This presentation will describe the attempts made in the Favorable Environments Breeding program at IRRI to integrate the selection for single genes appropriate for MAS into a more complex population improvement strategy designed to improve quantitatively inherited traits.Need to revolutionize the crop breeding
Mankind is facing an enormous challenge of food insecurity. By the year 2050, the population of the world is projected to increase by 35% to a whopping 9 billion; and an almost doubling of global food production is needed to feed the planet. This additional food for humans and farm animals has to come from the existing land, through maximization of genetic potential and relatively quickly. This demand for unprecedented productivity in agriculture needs to be realized in the presence of growing challenges of climate change, shortsighted land-use practices and increasing cost of agriculture despite the rate of improved adoption of technology in crop breeding. Recent advances in our understanding of genes and genomes combined with development of novel tools in biotechnology will play a vital role in accelerating efforts in plant breeding. Genomics assisted breeding assists the breeders in precise selection to enhance the effectivity and enhancement of the precise selection to develop a new cultivars.

A virtual hands-on training program on developing geospatial maps for supporting insurance products using Google Earth Engine and semi-automatic techniques was conducted for participants in Pakistan as part of the project “Strengthening Post-COVID-19 Food Security and Locust Attacks”. The nine participants were from the PARC Agrotech company (PATCO) technical team and crop reporting service teams from Punjab and Sindh in Pakistan. They were introduced to remote sensing and its applications in agriculture. Hands-on training using Google Earth Engine (GEE), Image Processing Software – ERDAS 2015 and various automatic classification techniques was provided along with several applications for using these modern tools.

ICRISAT and HarvestPlus signed an agreement for scientific and technical collaboration between the two global organizations. Mr Arun Baral, CEO, HarvestPlus, and Dr Jacqueline d’Arros Hughes, Director General, ICRISAT, signed the Memorandum of Understanding, which is made and entered into by IFPRI on behalf of its HarvestPlus Program. On the occasion, Dr Hughes said, After 17 years of fruitful collaboration on biofortification research, we have now decided to elevate this partnership. ICRISAT and HarvestPlus will work together more closely, making available micronutrient-rich varieties, high-quality seed and related technologies to the farming communities and consumers. This will contribute to eliminating micronutrient malnutrition in the drylands.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
