The emerging clinical importance of staphylococcal infections prompted us to establish a reference database for partial RNA polymerase B (rpoB; nucleotides 1444-1928) gene sequences from type strains of all staphylococcal species and subspecies. This database correctly identified 55 clinical staphylococcal isolates; all were correctly identified at the species level. At the subspecies level, rpoB misidentified only 2 isolates.

Quantitative trait loci for soybean seed yield in elite and plant introduction germplasm.(Crop Breeding, Genetics & Cytology)
Crop Science ; THE ELITE SOYBEAN GENE POOL is comprised primarily of alleles from 10 plant introductions (PIs) (Delannay et al., 1983). The average relationship between any two northern or southern cultivars was estimated by Sheller (1994) to be approximately 0.25, which is equivalent to that of half-sibs.
