Effect of Predators of Juvenile Rodents on the Spread of the Hantavirus Epidemic [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 Effects of predators of juvenile mice on the spread of the Hantavirus are analyzed in the context of a recently proposed model. Two critical values of the predation probability are identified. When the smaller of them is exceeded, the hantavirus infection vanishes without extinguishing the mice population.

Origins of the Endogenous and Infectious Laboratory Mouse Gammaretroviruses
Viruses, 2014 The mouse gammaretroviruses associated with leukemogenesis are found in the classical inbred mouse strains and in house mouse subspecies as infectious exogenous viruses (XRVs) and as endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) inserted into their host genomes.

Progress of the MICE experiment [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will perform a systematic investigation of ionization cooling of a muon beam. The demonstration is based on a simplified version of a neutrino factory cooling channel. As the emittance measurement will be done on a particle-by-particle basis, sophisticated beam instrumentation has been ...

Autonomous Robotic Drilling System for Mice Cranial Window Creation [PDF]
arXivRobotic assistance for experimental manipulation in the life sciences is expected to enable favorable outcomes, regardless of the skill of the scientist. Experimental specimens in the life sciences are subject to individual variability hence require intricate algorithms for successful autonomous robotic control.

Change in Recessive Lethal Alleles Frequency in Inbred Populations [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 In a population practicing consanguineous marriage, rare recessive lethal alleles (RRLA) have higher chances of affecting phenotypes. As inbreeding causes more homozygosity and subsequently more deaths, the loss of individuals with RRLA decreases the frequency of these alleles.

The pattern and distribution of deleterious mutations in maize [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Most non-synonymous mutations are thought to be deleterious because of their effect on protein sequence. These polymorphisms are expected to be removed or kept at low frequency by the action of natural selection, and rare deleterious variants have been implicated as a possible explanation for the "missing heritability" seen in many studies of complex ...

Fast Computation of the Kinship Coefficients [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 For families, kinship coefficients are quantifications of the amount of genetic sharing between a pair of individuals. These coefficients are critical for understanding the breeding habits and genetic diversity of diploid populations. Historically, computations of the inbreeding coefficient were used to prohibit inbred marriages and prohibit breeding ...

A Multi-Domain Multi-Task Approach for Feature Selection from Bulk RNA Datasets [PDF]
arXivIn this paper a multi-domain multi-task algorithm for feature selection in bulk RNAseq data is proposed. Two datasets are investigated arising from mouse host immune response to Salmonella infection. Data is collected from several strains of collaborative cross mice. Samples from the spleen and liver serve as the two domains.
