Nuclear restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of genetic diversity in western redcedar
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Variation at 41 putative genetic loci, uncovered by 29 single or low-copy nuclear probes of restriction fragment length polymorphism, was examined in western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn. ex D. Don). Only 8 of the 29 probes produced polymorphisms when HindIII-digested DNA samples from 18 trees from each of five geographic regions (90 trees in total) covering the entire geographic range of the species were analysed. The eight polymorphic probes were used against an additional sample of 160 trees (for a total of 250 trees or 50 per region) to permit higher resolving power of differentiation between the regions. Species-level expected heterozygosity (or total gene diversity, HT) was estimated at 0.070, a low value that is quite similar to that at isozyme loci. Nei's genetic distances between the regions were quite small and DST, the average gene diversity between populations, was only 0.0042, indicating a low degree of differentiation among geographic regions. No private alleles were found, and low-frequency alleles were widespread across the species range. These results suggest that the present range of western redcedar is occupied by descendants of a small number of lineages from a single refugial population that survived the drastic changes in climatic conditions associated with the last ice age.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
