EXCELLENT! Keep on posting as the spirit moves you Cheekie.
New member of our group of villains, thieves and scoundrels posting here (i.e. Fred D) has made some mention of the near term eventuality of us advancing from electronics to neurological logic machines. Check him OUT (for technical data:)
Don't know if you ever saw this piece fromPimaCott (and they don't maintain a big site).
Down at the bottom of the page, they have split branches for FiberTyping and Signature T technology descriptions for simple guys like me.[/quote]Fiber Typing® A “diagnostic” system that includes DNA extraction, testing and analytical reporting of cotton-based products; in fiber, yarn, fabric and finished goods.
Programmed Cell Death + 5 20 25 30 35 40 45 days after flowering At 40 days after Flowering
No nuclear DNA remains due to digestions by nuclear enzymes after cell death Nuclear DNA destruction continues until no DNA remains Cotton is picked ≥ 50 days after flowering Analysis of the species of origin must be done hundreds or thousands of days later Nuclear DNA is not available in commercial cotton
Roche, M.C. 2007. A Study in Programmed Cell Death in Cotton. Texas A&M University.
Applied DNA Sciences' scientists made an important discovery - survival of non-nuclear DNA from mature cotton fibers. Patented technology (US Patents: #8,669,079 and #8,940,485 and #9,290,819). Commercially validated after 8 years of use in cotton testing
Mining the Cotton Chloroplast Genome
APDN scientists analyzed cotton chloroplast genomes to identify regions most likely to differ between cultivars (the DNA that is not highly conserved by evolution).
The ADNAS Discovery
Biggest discovery of all. Cotton fiber lineage is preserved in finished Pima cotton textiles.
