Targeted gene knockout in chickens mediated by TALENs
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014 Significance Targeted gene knockout by editing specific loci in genome has revolutionized the field of functional genomics. Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) are representative next-generation platforms for customized genomic ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We investigated a potential protective effect of acacetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, against methylglyoxal (MGO)‐induced endothelial dysfunction in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and its mechanism of action. Acacetin can could inhibit MGO‐induced intracellular calcium ion influx, enhance the expression levels of phosphorylated ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study reports the upregulation of ELMO1 and GPR141 in human Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) corneal endothelium and ultraviolet A‐induced FECD mice model. A genetic association of an intergenic single nucleotide polymorphism rs918980 present between both genes is observed with FECD in the Indian population.

Alkane biosynthesis gene expression and its increased production in recombinant cyanobacteria
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The transcription and mRNA structures of the alkane biosynthesis genes ado/aar were analysed in the representative cyanobacteria PCC 6803 and SK1‐2‐1, which produce C17H36 and C15H32, respectively. PCC 6803 transconjugants carrying these genes showed a 1.8‐ to 2.3‐fold increase in C17H36 production.

Distribution of a Non-parametric Wavelet-based Statistic for Functional Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Mathematical formulations and proofs for a wavelet based statistic employed in functional data analysis is elaborately discussed in this report. The propositions and derivations discussed here apply to a wavelet based statistic with hard thresholding. The proposed analytic distribution is made feasible only due to the assumption of normality.

Chimeric Chickens and Their Use in Manipulation of the Chicken Genome
Poultry Science, 1993 Germline chimeric chickens can be made by injecting dispersed cells from Stage X blastoderms into recipient embryos at an equivalent stage of development. Colonization of the chimera by donor-derived cells is facilitated when the recipient embryo is compromised by exposure to irradiation prior to injection of the donor cells.

Backyard chickens in the United States: a survey of flock owners.
Poultry Science, 2014 Although it has become increasingly popular to keep backyard chickens in the United States, few studies have provided information about these flocks. An online survey of backyard chicken owners was conducted, advertised through Master Gardeners' websites,
