Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Characterization of Akirin 2 gene in Langshan chicken
Akirin play an important role not only in innate immune response but also in skeletal myogenesis. The chicken’s Akirin gene family only has Akirin 2. We detected the coding sequences of the Akirin 2 gene in a Chinese indigenous chicken (Langshan chicken)

Marker‐assisted selection in cattle
Abstract Direct observation of genetic differences using molecular techniques has prompted investigation into the nature and amount of genetic variation in cattle. Utilization of molecular data will include parentage analysis, individual identification, sexing of embryos and clones and detection of genetic defects.

A working model for cytoplasmic assembly of H/ACA snoRNPs
Dyskerin is the component of nuclear H/ACA ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) endowed with pseudouridine synthase catalytic activity. Two isoforms of human dyskerin have been characterized: the abundant Iso1, mainly nuclear, and the shorter Iso3, mainly cytoplasmic but occasionally imported into nuclei.

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

Controlling the Overfitting of Heritability in Genomic Selection through Cross Validation. [PDF]
In genomic selection (GS), all the markers across the entire genome are used to conduct marker-assisted selection such that each quantitative trait locus of complex trait is in linkage disequilibrium with at least one marker.

Factors influencing the efficiency of a marker-assisted introgression programme in Merino sheep
This study investigated a marker-assisted introgression programme in Australian Merino sheep. The goal was to introgress an allele with a large negative effect on fibre diameter into a Merino flock possessing medium average fibre diameter.
