FTO-mediated demethylation of GADD45B promotes myogenesis through the activation of p38 MAPK pathway
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a critical role in mammalian development. However, the role of m6A in the skeletal muscle development remains largely unknown.

Evolving Shepherding Behavior with Genetic Programming Algorithms [PDF]
We apply genetic programming techniques to the `shepherding' problem, in which a group of one type of animal (sheep dogs) attempts to control the movements of a second group of animals (sheep) obeying flocking behavior. Our genetic programming algorithm evolves an expression tree that governs the movements of each dog. The operands of the tree are hand-

Traveling pulse emerges from individuals coordinating their stop-and-go motion: a case study in sheep [PDF]
Monitoring small groups of sheep in spontaneous evolution in the field, we decipher behavioural rules that sheep follow at the individual scale in order to sustain collective motion. Individuals alternate grazing mode at null speed and moving mode at walking speed, so cohesive motion stems from synchronising when they decide to switch between the two ...

Human and Sheep Facial Landmarks Localisation by Triplet Interpolated Features [PDF]
In this paper we present a method for localisation of facial landmarks on human and sheep. We introduce a new feature extraction scheme called triplet-interpolated feature used at each iteration of the cascaded shape regression framework. It is able to extract features from similar semantic location given an estimated shape, even when head pose ...

Silent estrus results in spread-out kidding and extended inter-kidding interval in goats. Progesterone (P4) priming for 12-14 days could be one of the approaches for estrus induction with optimum fertility.

Sarah* was, in many ways, the archetypal lost sheep. Brought up by poor immigrant parents, battered by her father as a girl, she never seemed to have a chance. For years we hardly saw her, hidden, as it were, in a back room by her widowed mother. She was on drugs: heroin, cannabis, anything she could lay her hands on.

Modeling Sheep pox Disease from the 1994-1998 Epidemic in Evros Prefecture, Greece [PDF]
Sheep pox is a highly transmissible disease which can cause serious loss of livestock and can therefore have major economic impact. We present data from sheep pox epidemics which occurred between 1994 and 1998. The data include weekly records of infected farms as well as a number of covariates.

Hydrodynamics of a dense flock of sheep: edge motion and long-range correlations [PDF]
Sheep are gregarious animals, and they often aggregate into dense, cohesive flocks, especially under stress. In this paper, we use image processing tools to analyze a publicly available aerial video showing a dense sheep flock moving under the stimulus of a shepherding dog.
