Imputed dataset could significantly reduce the interval of genomic regions controlling traits, thus greatly improve the efficiency of candidate gene identification. Genotype imputation is a strategy to increase marker density of existing datasets without additional genotyping. We compared imputation performance of software BEAGLE 5.0, IMPUTE 5 and AlphaPlantImpute and tested software parameters that may help to improve imputation accuracy in soybean populations. Several factors including marker density, extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD), minor allele frequency (MAF), etc., were examined for their effects on imputation accuracy across different software. Our results showed that AlphaPlantImpute had a higher imputation accuracy than BEAGLE 5.0 or IMPUTE 5 tested in each soybean family, especially if the study progeny were genotyped with an extremely low number of markers. LD extent, MAF and reference panel size were positively correlated with imputation accuracy, a minimum number of 50 markers per chromosome and MAF of SNPs > 0.2 in soybean line were required to avoid a significant loss of imputation accuracy. Using the software, we imputed 5176 soybean lines in the soybean nested mapping population (NAM) with high-density markers of the 40 parents. The dataset containing 423,419 markers for 5176 lines and 40 parents was deposited at the Soybase. The imputed NAM dataset was further examined for the improvement of mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling soybean seed protein content. Most of the QTL identified were at identical or at similar position based on initial and imputed datasets; however, QTL intervals were greatly narrowed. The resulting genotypic dataset of NAM population will facilitate QTL mapping of traits and downstream applications. The information will also help to improve genotyping imputation accuracy in self-pollinated crops.</p>","PeriodicalId":52544,"journal":{"name":"Acta Arachnologica","volume":"3 1","pages":"1797-1810"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9110473/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90964180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been proposed that nine new genera should be established independently from Araneus. One example is a group that includes Araneus mitificus (Simon 1886) and Araneus praesignis (L. Koch 1872). In this study, we examined specimens from several species that are morphologically similar to them, and confirmed their close relationship by phylogenetic analysis using the data of five genes. All targeted species were united in a monophyletic clade, comprising two groups in detail. The epigynes and male palps of the species in these two groups were clearly distinguishable; therefore, we concluded that they should be recognized as two independent genera. Consequently, we describe two new genera, Aoaraneus n. gen. and Bijoaraneus n. gen. Additionally, previously identified Japanese Araneus mitificus specimens were reexamined and concluded to be misidentified. It is described as a new species under the name Bijoaraneus komachi n. sp. in this study.","PeriodicalId":52544,"journal":{"name":"Acta Arachnologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48144532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we described the courtship repertoire of the parthenogenetic scorpion Tityus stigmurus , a species with inconspicuous sexual populations distributed throughout northeastern Brazil. Specimens of both sexes (10 males, 10 females) were obtained from field expeditions in three locations in northeastern Brazil and were paired under laboratory conditions in an intrapopulation design. All observations were conducted at night using red light positioned above an experimental arena. From the 10 courtship interactions observed in this study, only one pair successfully completed the reproductive repertoire that included the insemination process. The incomplete interactions were abruptly terminated by the females immediately after deposition of the spermatophore. Overall, the reproductive repertoire of T. stigmurus was similar to that of other scorpions, especially its congeners, possibly because this reproductive behavior emerged at a basal point in the evolution of scorpions. The acquisition of new insights into the reproductive biology of different scorpion species may improve the theoretical background for applications ranging from evolutionary biology to public health strategies.","PeriodicalId":52544,"journal":{"name":"Acta Arachnologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47424533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
