Genomic responses to selection for tame/aggressive behaviors in the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes) 

Wang, Xu; Pipes, Lenore; Trut, Lyudmila N.; Herbeck, Yury; Vladimirova, Anastasiya V.; Gulevich, Rimma G.; Kharlamova, Anastasiya V.; Johnson, Jennifer L.; Acland, Gregory M.; Kukekova, Anna V.; Clark, Andrew G. (2020-07-24)
Animal domestication efforts have led to a shared spectrum of striking behavioral and morphological changes. To recapitulate this process, silver foxes have been selectively bred for tame and aggressive behaviors for more ...

Guide for Dissecting the Dog, A 

Rumph, Paul F. (2017-06-23)
A Guide for Dissecting the Dog has many distinctive features designed to aid students in their study of gross anatomy. In keeping with Dr. Fletcher’s original concept, descriptive material is minimal and most illustrations ...

High-fidelity long-read assembly of the feline gut microbiome 

Wang, Xu; 0000-0002-7594-5004 (2024-03-29)
Long-read reference contig assembly of domestic cat rectum/fecal microbiome. DNA was extracted from fecal samples collected from client-owned domestic cats using Qiagen Allprep PowerFecal DNA/RNA kit. PacBio sequencing ...

Host shifting and novel genome features of the microbial pathogen Nosema 

Xiong, Xiao; Geden, Christopher J.; Zhang, Dapeng; Werren, John H.; Wang, Xu; 0000-0002-7594-5004 (2024-02-14)
Nosema is a diverse fungal genus of unicellular, obligate symbionts of insects and other arthropods. We conducted a comparative genomic analysis of N. muscidifuracis, a Nosema species infecting parasitoid wasp genus ...

Hydrogen sulfide cytoprotective signaling isendothelial nitric oxide synthase-nitricoxide dependent 

King, Adrienne L.; Polhemus, David J.; Bhushan, Shashi; Otsuka, Hiroyuki; Kondo, Kazuhisa; Nicholson, Chad K.; Bradley, Jessica M.; Islam, Kazi N.; Calvert, John W.; Tao, Ya-Xiong et al (2020-01-16)
Previous studies have demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) protects against multiple cardiovascular disease states in a similar manner as nitric oxide (NO). H2S therapy also has been shown to augment NO bioavailability ...

Identification of Rickettsia felis DNA in the blood of domestic cats and dogs in the USA 

Hoque, Md Monirul; Barua, Subarna; Kelly, Patrick John; Kelly, Chenoweth; Kaltenboeck, Bernhard; Wang, Chengming; 0000-0003-3458-8212 (2021-05-29)
Background: The main vector and reservoir host of Rickettsia felis, an emerging human pathogen causing flea-borne spotted fever, is the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis. While cats have not been found to be infected with ...

Inadequate Reference Datasets Biased toward Short Non-epitopes Confound B-cell Epitope Prediction 

Rahman, Kh. Shamsur; Chowdhury, Erfan U.; Sachse, Konrad; Kaltenboeck, Bernhard; http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7243-8501 (2020-04-08)
X-ray crystallography has shown that an antibody paratope typically binds 15-22 amino acids (aa) of an epitope, of which 2-5 randomly distributed amino acids contribute most of the binding energy. In contrast, researchers ...

Osteology of the White-Tailed Deer Odocoileus Virginianus, An 

Rumph, Paul Frederick (2016-07-09)
Because of the absence of a comprehensive description of the osseous anatomy of the white-tailed deer, this study was undertaken. The external morphology of each bone is described utilizing the current nomenclature presented ...

Platelet gene therapy improves hemostatic function for integrin αIIbβ3-deficient dogs 

Fang, Juan; Jensen, Eric S.; Boudreauxe, Mary K.; Du, Lily M.; Hawkins, Troy B.; Koukouritaki, Sevasti B.; Cornetta, Kenneth; Wilcox, David A. (2020-05-20)
