Detection and quantification of transgenes are important in analyzing genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is commonly utilized for such purposes. However, qPCR has certain limitations in detecting and quantifying transgenes in GMOs, such as the need of certified reference materials, a standard curve, and possible affection by inhibitors. Therefore, alternative and possibly better methods are needed. Recent advances in digital PCR technologies have promised to allow accurate quantification of nucleic acids and therefore provided another useful technique to analyze GMOs. Thermo Fisher ScientificTM has recently commercialized the Applied BiosystemsTM QuantStudioTM 3D digital PCR system that can be used for a wide range of applications involving nucleic acids. It will be beneficial to the scientific community to show the applicability of this digital PCR system in detecting and quantifying transgenes in GMOs. In the present study, the transgenes present in the Roundup Ready Soybean (RR1, event 40-3-2) and Roundup Ready Soybean 2 (RR2, event MON89788) developed by Monsanto Corporation were analyzed by using this digital PCR system. The qPCR analysis results were included for comparison. Using specifically designed TaqMan assays, as low as 1% of the RR1 or RR2 soybean material was reliably detected and quantified on the dPCR platform. Therefore, digital PCR is a sensitive and reliable method to analyze the RR transgenic soybeans, and should be another useful tool for analyzing other transgenic plants.

The Late Ordovician Mass Extinction was the earliest of the ‘big’ five extinction events and the earliest to affect the trajectory of metazoan life. Two phases have been identified near the start of the Hirnantian period and in the middle. It was a massive taxonomic extinction, a weak phylogenetic extinction and a relatively benign ecological extinction. A rapid cooling, triggering a major ice age that reduced the temperature of surface waters, prompted a drop in sea level of some 100 m and introduced toxic bottom waters onto the shelves. These symptoms of more fundamental planetary processes have been associated with a range of factors with an underlying driver identified as volcanicity. Volcanic eruptions, and other products, may have extended back in time to at least the Sandbian and early Katian, suggesting the extinctions were more protracted and influential than hitherto documented.

This work is devoted to the study of the dynamics of one-dimensional monotone nonautonomous(cocycle) dynamical systems. A description of the structures of their invariant sets, omega limit sets,Bohr/Levitan almost periodic and almost automorphic motions, global attractors, and pinched and minimalsets is given. An application of our general results is given to scalar differential and difference equations.

The defining feature of a mass extinction and its associated recovery is the global amount of extinction that occurred[1]. However, there is finer-scale detail to the story, as seen in the ongoing modern mass extinction(the sixth mass extinction), which exhibits variable effects among marine ecosystems and environments, and hence geographic areas [1].
