Variation in Host Resistance to Blastomyces dermatitidis: Potential Use of Genetic Reference Panels and Advances in Immunophenotyping of Diverse Mouse Strains

mBio, 2022
Host genetic determinants that underpin variation in susceptibility to systemic fungal infection are poorly understood. Genes responsible for complex traits can be identified by correlating variation in phenotype with allele in founder strains of wild ...

Highly Variable Genomic Landscape of Endogenous Retroviruses in the C57BL/6J Inbred Strain, Depending on Individual Mouse, Gender, Organ Type, and Organ Location. [PDF]

, 2017
Transposable repetitive elements, named the "TREome," represent ~40% of the mouse genome. We postulate that the germ line genome undergoes temporal and spatial diversification into somatic genomes in conjunction with the TREome activity.

Agouti C57BL/6N embryonic stem cells for mouse genetic resources. [PDF]

, 2009
We report the characterization of a highly germline competent C57BL/6N mouse embryonic stem cell line, JM8. To simplify breeding schemes, the dominant agouti coat color gene was restored in JM8 cells by targeted repair of the C57BL/6 nonagouti mutation ...

Strain variation in spermatozoal glycosidases in inbred mice

Genetical Research, 1978
SUMMARYTen glycosidases were measured in suspensions of spermatozoa from the vasa deferentia of two inbred mouse strains and their intercrosses. Eight of these glycosidases were associated with the sperm cells and all of these showed genetical variation between the strains except α-l-fucosidase with optimal activity at pH 5·4.

Expression quantitative trait loci are highly sensitive to cellular differentiation state [PDF]

, 2009
Blood cell development from multipotent hematopoietic stem cells to specialized blood cells is accompanied by drastic changes in gene expression for which the triggers remain mostly unknown.

Cocaine locomotor activation, sensitization and place preference in six inbred strains of mice

Behavioral and Brain Functions, 2011
Background The expanding set of genomics tools available for inbred mouse strains has renewed interest in phenotyping larger sets of strains. The present study aims to explore phenotypic variability among six commonly-used inbred mouse strains to both ...

Evidence of a Large-Scale Functional Organization of Mammalian Chromosomes. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2005
Evidence from inbred strains of mice indicates that a quarter or more of the mammalian genome consists of chromosome regions containing clusters of functionally related genes.

Male mice emit distinct ultrasonic vocalizations when the female leaves the social interaction arena. [PDF]

, 2013
Adult male mice emit large number of complex ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) when interacting with adult females. Call numbers and call categories differ greatly among inbred mouse strains.

The Trichinella Super‐Pangenome Reveals the Evolution of Encapsulation and Predicted Host–Parasite Protein Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The muscle capsule of Trichinella is a critical structure that impedes immune attacks and drug penetration, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its formation remain poorly understood. Using a high‐quality super‐pangenome comprising 12 Trichinella species, we compared extensive genomic variations between encapsulating and non‐encapsulating ...
