Genomic responses to selection for tame/aggressive behaviors in the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes)
(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 ...
HCAR breast cancer mutations
(2021-11-03)
Sanger sequences of inherited HCAR mutations detected in breast cancer affected individuals.
High-fidelity long-read assembly of the feline gut microbiome
(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
(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 ...
Identification of Rickettsia felis DNA in the blood of domestic cats and dogs in the USA
(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
(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 ...
Platelet gene therapy improves hemostatic function for integrin αIIbβ3-deficient dogs
(2020-05-20)
Activated blood platelets mediate the primary response to vascular injury. Although molecular abnormalities of platelet proteins
occur infrequently, taken collectively, an inherited platelet defect
accounts for a bleeding ...
Tumor Suppressor Gene p16/INK4A Dependent Regulation of Cell Cycle Exit in a Spontaneous Canine Model of Breast Cancer Tumor Suppressor Gene p16/INK4A Dependent Regulation of Cell Cycle Exit in a Spontaneous Canine Model of Breast Cancer
(2022-04-13)
16/INK4A/CDKN2A is an important tumor suppressor gene that arrests cell cycle in G1 phase inhibiting binding of CDK4/6 with cyclin D1,leaving the Rb tumor suppressor protein unphosphorylated and E2F bound and inactive. We ...
