What alternatives are there if I cannot overcome assumption violations of linearity and homoscedacity?

I set out to run linear regressions to analyse relationships between my variables. However, my IV does not have a linear relationship with any of my DV. Can I use non-linear regression even though...

SSR markers to track for line purity

I have done crosses in three populations, selfed the F1s to F2s now wanted to check whether there is foreign pollen. I bulked the F2 seeds and genotyped both parents with the F2s. I used 12 SSR...

Are there any instruments for studying time similar to the way it is in space?

There are a huge number of methods for studying objects in space, according to the senses (and not only). Mechanical, thermal, optical, acoustic, electrical, magnetic, based on particle beams,...

Are there instances where molecules with larger molecular weights exhibit greater mobility than those with smaller molecular weights?

Hi, I know that low molecular weight (MW) molecules generally tend to have higher mobility, while high molecular weight molecules tend to have lower mobility. However, in my experimental...

Rallapalli Ravikiran

hi Lebogang,Polymorphism information content tells us how informative a particular SSR marker is and heterozygosity rreveals whether there is any loci at which heterozygosity till remains in a cultivar which will be released only when it is homozygous.

Khaled F M Salem

PIC is polymorphic information content used as this marker good or not for estimating the genetic diversity if this > 0.5 it means this markers have more genetic diversity
