For flora, a common method is the mixed alkyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (MATAB) procedure. Plant material is ground and incubated in a pre-warmed extraction buffer, then purified with chloroform:isoamylalcohol, and DNA extracts are precipitated with isopropanol. For fauna, DNA can be extracted from various samples such as blood, tissue, or even stool. A common method involves cell rupture in the presence of EDTA to prevent DNA fragmentation, followed by enzymatic digestion of cell walls, solubilization of the cell membrane, and purification using phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation. In both cases, the extracted DNA is usually stored at -20 C until use.","weight":1,"task_id":"59E2406798D265A3CB466B766683E63C"},

This process begins with the separation of the two strands of the mother cell DNA. New nucleotides are then assembled to form two double helices identical to the original one. This is facilitated by the base pairing rules where adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). This ensures that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the DNA. The replication process is crucial during cell division as it allows for the accurate transmission of genetic information from one generation of cells to the next.","weight":-1,"task_id":"3F9EDFE9A0222EA70459EC8985F134C4"},

{"user_id":"d8abfb12-9a11-400a-8cd0-0a436602581c","query":"Explain the process of finding a genetic marker followed by a quantitative trait loci.","answer":"The process of finding a genetic marker followed by a quantitative trait loci (QTL) involves several steps. First, a population is developed for genetic mapping. This population can be a segregating population or a permanent population. The population is then genotyped using molecular markers. Next, the population is phenotyped for an interested trait. QTL analysis is then conducted using statistical procedures to find markers linked to the QTL. This involves single-marker regression across all chromosomes, where a hypothetical QTL is evaluated at the location of each marker locus. The significance of that QTL is estimated from a likelihood ratio statistic. A permutation test is then conducted to establish genome-wide significance criteria for the trait. The result is a list of marker loci that show a significant association with the trait. These loci are most likely to be near QTLs. The goal of QTL mapping is to identify regions of the genome that harbor genes relevant to a specified trait.","weight":1,"task_id":"02A94D1056FDA77BDA9AC6CFDE0D5FC6"},
