Details are presented on how QTL mapping with a whole genome sequence based genetic map can be used to identify a drug resistance gene in Toxoplasma gondii and how this can be verified with the CRISPR/Cas9 system that efficiently edits a genomic target, in this case the drug resistance gene.

Fate mapping is a technique used to understand how embryonic cells divide, differentiate, and migrate during development. In classic fate mapping experiments, cells in different areas of an embryo are labeled with a chemical dye and then tracked to determine which tissues or structures they form. Technological improvements now allow for individual cells to be marked and traced throughout embryonic development and adulthood. This video reviews the concepts behind fate mapping, and then details a...

Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California One principle of brain organization is the topographic mapping of information. Especially in sensory and motor cortices, adjacent regions of the brain tend to represent information from adjacent parts of the body, resulting in maps of the body expressed on the surface of the brain. The primary sensory and motor maps in the brain surround a prominent sulcus known as the central sulcus. The cortex...

Using Topographic Maps to Generate Topographic Profiles

Source: Laboratory of Alan Lester - University of Colorado Boulder Topographic maps are "plan-view" representations of Earth's three-dimensional surface. They are a standard type of map-view that provides an overhead, or aerial, perspective. Among the defining features of a topographic map are the contour lines that indicate locations of constant elevation. The elevation interval between the contour lines is dependent on the level of detail provided by the map and the kind of topography present.

Drug resistance to targeted therapeutics is widespread and the need to identify mechanisms of resistance--prior to or following clinical onset--is critical for guiding alternative clinical management strategies. Here, we present a protocol to couple derivation of drug-resistant lines in vitro with sequencing to expedite discovery of these mechanisms.
FAQs
Electrode spacing and array geometry determine how measurements represent subsurface variation. The recorded current and voltage, together with spacing and arrangement, enter the apparent-resistivity calculation. Changing the geometry changes the spatial sampling of the material, allowing engineers to compare resistance patterns across a site and recognize transitions that may correspond to soil, rock, groundwater, or other targets.
Apparent resistivity is an interpreted measurement rather than a direct label for one material. It combines the measured voltage and current with electrode spacing and array geometry. Inversion then uses those calculated values to construct a two- or three-dimensional representation of subsurface variation. This step converts individual field observations into a model engineers can examine spatially.
Two-dimensional and three-dimensional resistivity models provide different ways to represent site conditions. A two-dimensional model can show how resistance changes along a section, whereas a three-dimensional model represents variation through a larger volume. Engineers can use these representations to examine boundaries, voids, fractures, contamination, groundwater, or buried infrastructure in relation to surrounding material.
A typical investigation begins by placing electrodes in a planned arrangement, injecting controlled current, and measuring voltage differences. The survey records the current, voltage, electrode spacing, and array geometry needed to calculate apparent resistivity. Analysts then apply inversion to the measurements and inspect the resulting model for spatial changes relevant to the engineering question.
Engineers select resistivity mapping when they need subsurface information while limiting extensive drilling or excavation. It can contribute to site investigations, foundation and pavement assessment, environmental studies, and infrastructure planning. In these settings, mapped resistance variations help characterize conditions across a site and guide attention toward features relevant to construction, assessment, or environmental investigation.
Resistance patterns can help identify changes associated with groundwater, contamination, voids, fractures, and buried infrastructure. The same measurement approach therefore serves different engineering objectives: environmental studies may focus on zones linked with contamination, while infrastructure planning may examine subsurface features or buried structures. The resulting model helps evaluate site conditions without relying on extensive excavation alone.
