Heat Stress-Responsive Transcriptome Analysis in the Liver Tissue of Hu Sheep [PDF]

Genes, 2019
Heat stress has a severe effect on animal health and can reduce the productivity and reproductive efficiency; it is therefore necessary to explore the molecular mechanism involved in heat stress response, which is helpful for the cultivation of an animal breed with resistance to heat stress.

Characteristics of the BMP7 Promoter in Hu Sheep [PDF]

Animals, 2019
The BMP7 gene is involved in the growth and development of hair follicles but its regulation mechanism is unclear. We studied the regulation mechanism of the BMP7 promoter by cloning the proximal promoter of BMP7 for bioinformatics analysis. A series of missing vectors was then constructed for dual-fluorescein activity detection based on the ...
