Polymorphism of exon 2-3 of bovine major histocompatibility complex class I BoLa-A gene

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
The exon 2-3 region of bovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I BoLa-A gene was investigated for polymorphisms in three breeds of cattle originated in the Indian subcontinent namely Sahiwal, Tharparkar, Hariana, as well as crossbred (Bos ...

A phosphoserine phosphatase variant present in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients favors nuclear mistargeting

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
l‐serine levels in the human brain are maintained by the phosphorylated pathway, a three‐step process catalyzed by phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP). These enzymes assemble in a metabolon called the serinosome. The double R27S/D32G PSP variant was identified in the brain of

Restriction fragment length polymorphism in calpain (CAPN2) gene in crossbred cattle

Boletim de Indústria Animal, 2012
With advances in molecular genetics have been possible to predict the genetic value of the animal, in particular its potential to transmit desired characters to their offspring, including characters difficult to evaluate or with low heritability, as is ...

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

Comparative phenotypic profile of subpopulations of peripheral blood leukocytes in European (Bos taurus taurus) and Zebu cattle (Bos taurus indicus)

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2013
Differences in cellular and humoral immunity in Zebu (Bos taurus indicus) and European (B. taurus taurus) cattle breeds, which may be related to differences in resistance or susceptibility to infectious or parasitic diseases, are largely unknown. This study aimed to perform a comparative analysis of innate and adaptive immunity of European (including ...

A Recursive Model Approach to Include Epigenetic Effects in Genetic Evaluations Using Simulated DNA Methylation Effects

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The advancement of epigenetics has highlighted DNA methylation as an intermediate‐omic influencing gene regulation and phenotypic expression. With emerging technologies enabling the large‐scale and affordable capture of methylation data, there is growing interest in integrating this information into genetic evaluation models for animal ...
