Gene co-expression analysis identifies brain regions and cell types involved in migraine pathophysiology [PDF]

, 2016
Migraine is a common disabling neurovascular brain disorder typically characterised by attacks of severe headache and associated with autonomic and neurological symptoms. Migraine is caused by an interplay of genetic and environmental factors.

Genetic and histopathological analysis of transverse testicular ectopia without persistent Müllerian duct syndrome: two case reports

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2020
Background Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare anomaly in which both testes descend through a single inguinal canal into the same hemiscrotum.

Genomic technologies and the diagnosis of 46, XY differences of sex development

Andrology, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 1025-1043, July 2025.
Abstract Differences/disorders of sex development can be caused by disruptions to the molecular and cellular mechanisms that control development and sex determination of the reproductive organs with 1:100 live births affected. Multiple genes are associated with 46, XY differences/disorders of sex development that can cause varying clinical phenotypes ...

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Analogs Clicked in the C Domain : Chemical Synthesis and Biological Activities [PDF]

, 2017
Human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a 70 amino acid protein hormone, with key impact on growth, development, and lifespan. The physiological and clinical importance of IGF-1 prompted challenging chemical and biological trials toward the ...

History and genetic diversity of African sheep: Contrasting phenotypic and genomic diversity

Animal Genetics, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Domesticated sheep have adapted to contrasting and extreme environments and continue to play important roles in local community‐based economies throughout Africa. Here we review the Neolithic migrations of thin‐tailed sheep and the later introductions of fat‐tailed sheep into eastern Africa.

A detailed protocol for a rapid analysis of testicular cell populations using flow cytometry [PDF]

, 2015
Accurate analysis and quantification of different testicular cell populations are of central importance in studies of male reproductive biology. The traditional histomorphometric and immunohistochemical methods remain the gold standard in studying the ...

The role of G protein‐coupled receptors and their ligands in animal domestication

Animal Genetics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 893-906, December 2024.
Abstract The domestication of plants and animals has resulted in one of the most significant cultural and socio‐economical transitions in human history. Domestication of animals, including human‐supervised reproduction, largely uncoupled particular animal species from their natural, evolutionary history driven by environmental and ecological factors ...

Genome-culture coevolution promotes rapid divergence of killer whale ecotypes. [PDF]

, 2016
Analysing population genomic data from killer whale ecotypes, which we estimate have globally radiated within less than 250,000 years, we show that genetic structuring including the segregation of potentially functional alleles is associated with ...
