Ontogeny of RSPO1, FOXL2, and RUNX1 during ovarian differentiation in the marsupial tammar wallaby

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background RSPO1 and FOXL2 are female sex‐determining genes involved in the differentiation and organization of the ovary in some eutherian mammals. Mutations or loss of function of these genes are associated with partial to full sex reversal in mice, humans, and goats.

Comparative Assessment of Postharvest Treatments for Extending Shelf Life of Two Banana Cultivars in Bangladesh

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Effect of different postharvest treatments on shelf life and quality of two banana cultivars (Amritasagar and Mehersagar) in Bangladesh. Among the evaluated treatments, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) in unperforated polythene packaging effectively delayed ripening, increased total sugars and total soluble solids, and significantly extended shelf life ...

Genetic diversity, population structure and ancestral origin of KwaZulu-Natal native chicken ecotypes using microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA markers

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2020
South African native chicken breeds are no exception to the declining of local domestic breeds that has long been recognised and found associated with the commercialisation of breeding in domestic animals.

Evidence of balancing selection in multiple indigenous chicken populations

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2016
Microsatellite DNA markers, which are assumed to drift, have been widely used to assess genetic diversity in all major domestic animal species. These markers provide insight into the arrival and dispersion history of a species, with regard to their content or management history.

Oat β‐Glucan and Galactooligosaccharides Influence Gallstone Formation by Modulating the Gut Microbiota, Particularly Desulfovibrionales

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Oat β‐glucan and galactooligosaccharides influence the formation of gallstones by modulating the gut microbiota, particularly the abundance of Desulfovibrionales. The primary mechanism involves metabolic byproducts associated with Desulfovibrionales inhibiting hepatic bile acid synthesis via both the hepatic FXR–SHP and intestinal FXR–FGF15 signaling ...

Convergent evolution of metabolic functions: Evidence from the gut microbiomes of humans and dogs

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Dogs have undergone convergent evolution in their genome with humans in long‐term co‐living. Studies have shown that the gut microbiomes of dogs exhibit greater similarity to those of humans compared to mice and pigs. In our study, we first compared the gut microbiomes of macaques, three dog groups, and two wolf groups to those in humans.
