Sequence analysis of the ATP synthase of subunits (ATP8 and ATP6) genes of mitochondrial DNA genome from Ailuropoda melanoleuca

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
To explore the effects of the mutations of ATP6 and ATP8 genes on energy metabolism and genetic structure, we sequenced the ATP6 and ATP8 genes of Ailuropoda melanoleuca.

Single‐cell mRNA sequencing of giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) seminoma reveals the cellular and molecular characteristics of tumour cells

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Testicular tumours are zoonoses that can occur in not only human, but other animals, include giant pandas. A middle‐aged male giant panda named Fufu was diagnosed with a testicular tumour and underwent surgery to remove the entire left testis. The testis

Molecular mechanisms of bamboo-derived miRNA-mediated gene regulation and dietary adaptation in giant pandas

BMC Genomics
Background Giant pandas subsist almost exclusively on bamboo, a low-nutrient, high-fiber plant. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their dietary adaptation remain unclear.
