Comparative serological assays for the study of H5 and H7 avian influenza viruses. [PDF]

, 2013
The nature of influenza virus to randomly mutate and evolve into new types is an important challenge in the control of influenza infection. It is necessary to monitor virus evolution for a better understanding of the pandemic risk posed by certain ...

Evolution and connectivity in the world-wide migration system of the mallard: Inferences from mitochondrial DNA

BMC Genetics, 2011
Background Main waterfowl migration systems are well understood through ringing activities. However, in mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) ringing studies suggest deviations from general migratory trends and traditions in waterfowl.

Maternal age effect and severe germ-line bottleneck in the inheritance of human mitochondrial DNA [PDF]

, 2014
The manifestation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases depends on the frequency of heteroplasmy (the presence of several alleles in an individual), yet its transmission across generations cannot be readily predicted owing to a lack of data on the size ...

Strong mitochondrial DNA support for a Cretaceous origin of modern avian lineages

BMC Biology, 2008
Background Determining an absolute timescale for avian evolutionary history has proven contentious. The two sources of information available, paleontological data and inference from extant molecular genetic sequences (colloquially, 'rocks' and 'clocks'),

The value of avian genomics to the conservation of wildlife [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Genomic studies in non-domestic avian models, such as the California condor and white-throated sparrow, can lead to more comprehensive conservation plans and provide clues for understanding mechanisms affecting genetic variation, adaptation ...
