The effects of Tbx15 and Pax1 on facial and other physical morphology in mice
DNA variants in or close to the human TBX15 and PAX1 genes have been repeatedly associated with facial morphology in independent genome‐wide association studies, while their functional roles in determining facial morphology remain to be understood.

Development of reverse-transcription PCR techniques to analyse the density and sex ratio of gametocytes in genetically diverse Plasmodium chabaudi infections [PDF]
We have developed cross-genotype and genotype-specific quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) assays to detect and quantify the number of parasites, transmission stages (gametocytes) and male gametocytes in blood stage Plasmodium chabaudi ...

Associations between CXCR1 polymorphisms and pathogen-specific incidence rate of clinical mastitis, test-day somatic cell count, and test-day milk yield [PDF]
The CXCR1 gene plays an important role in the innate immunity of the bovine mammary gland. Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) CXCR1c.735C>G and c.980A>G and udder health have been identified before in small populations.

PON1 status does not influence cholinesterase activity in Egyptian agricultural workers exposed to chlorpyrifos. [PDF]
Animal studies have shown that paraoxonase 1 (PON1) genotype can influence susceptibility to the organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF). However, Monte Carlo analysis suggests that PON1 genotype may not affect CPF-related toxicity at low exposure ...
