The other is [Y.sup.f][Y.sup.f] supermales (Fishgen strain), a commercial strain purchased from the Aquaculture and Aquatic Resources Management program., Asian Institute of Technology in Thailand.
Probes for CGH were derived from genomic DNA extracted from [X.sup.e][X.sup.e] sex-reversed males and [Y.sup.f][Y.sup.f] supermales with phenol chloroform treatment and ethanol precipitation.
The Supermale is a novella that may be variously described as comic-grotesque science fiction, physiological burlesque, or techno-pornography, although this interpretation necessarily depends upon the observer's response to Jarry's account of a sexual marathon staged by his central protagonist.
Small wonder that Jarry, himself a well-known bicycle buff of the fin de siecle, described the bicycle as "an 'external skeleton' which permits mankind to outstrip biological evolution in developing new modes of locomotion." (6) Such romantic optimism about the transcending of human limits dates from this period, and The Supermale is a whimsical and prankish literary monument to its prestige.
In this experiment we investigated whether supermale and superfemale faces, with exaggerated sex-typical traits, are preferred to average male and female faces, respectively.
We created supermale and superfemale images, respectively, by exaggerating how the male average differed from the female average, and how the female average differed from the male average (details below).
In this desert-dwelling mustard species, however, "some were
supermales, and some-were real wimps," reports Randall J.
His work should be taught in universities along with Joyce's, Eliot's and Pound's, and it should be realized that there is more to his oeuvre than the Ubu plays, as the innovative prose writing in Days and Nights, The
Supermale, and Dr.
Furthermore, some offspring may get a Y from both mother and father and become so-called supermales.
If supermales reproduce, Nagler says, any offspring would invariably be male--skewing the sex ratio in a population.
Since male catfish grow faster than females, commercial farms using these gynogenetic "
supermales" for broodstock would have an economic advantage over farms using males that produce mixed-sex offspring.
Our results from the salinity stress test showed that the highest mortality occurred in larvae from the H3 group, which is a genetically manipulated broodstock that yields 98-100% males after crossing YY "
supermales" with XX normal females (Mair et al., 1997).
