Reverse chemical ecology approach for the identification of an oviposition attractant for Culex quinquefasciatus. [PDF]
Pheromones and other semiochemicals play a crucial role in today's integrated pest and vector management strategies. These semiochemicals are typically discovered by bioassay-guided approaches.

Effect of Larval Nutrition on Maternal mRNA Contribution to the Drosophila Egg. [PDF]
Embryonic development begins under the control of maternal gene products, mRNAs and proteins that the mother deposits into the egg; the zygotic genome is activated some time later. Maternal control of early development is conserved across metazoans. Gene

RAE-1 ligands for the NKG2D receptor are regulated by E2F transcription factors, which control cell cycle entry. [PDF]
The NKG2D stimulatory receptor expressed by natural killer cells and T cell subsets recognizes cell surface ligands that are induced on transformed and infected cells and facilitate immune rejection of tumor cells.

In vitro identification and in silico utilization of interspecies sequence similarities using GeneChip(® )technology [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Genomic approaches in large animal models (canine, ovine etc) are challenging due to insufficient genomic information for these species and the lack of availability of corresponding microarray platforms. To address this problem, we speculated

Application of high-throughput sequencing to whole rabies viral genome characterisation and its use for phylogenetic re-evaluation of a raccoon strain incursion into the province of Ontario [PDF]
Raccoon rabies remains a serious public health problem throughout much of the eastern seaboard of North America due to the urban nature of the reservoir host and the many challenges inherent in multi-jurisdictional efforts to administer co-ordinated and ...
