ABSTRACT In this study, POU1F1 gene polymorphism was detected in five sheep populations (large-tailed Han, small-tailed Han, Yuxi fat-tailed, Lanzhou large-tailed, and Mongolian sheep), using DNA pooling and sequencing, to provide theoretical basis for the breeding of excellent sheep varieties.Three single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci of POU1
Abstract Due to their important phylogenetic position among extant vertebrates, sharks are an invaluable group in evolutionary developmental biology studies.A thorough understanding of shark anatomy is essential to facilitate these studies and documentation of this iconic taxon.With the increasing availability of cross-sectional imaging techniques,
Temperature changes and periods of detrimental cold occur frequently for many organisms in Chamomile their natural habitats.Homeothermic animals have evolved metabolic adaptation strategies to increase mitochondrial-based energy expenditure and heat production, largely relying on fat as a fuel source.Alternatively, certain species are able to repre
One of the goals of the Fermilab A0 photoinjector is to investigate experimentally the transverse to longitudinal emittance exchange (EEX) principle.Coherent synchrotron radiation in the emittance exchange line could limit the performance of Polos the emittance exchanger at short bunch lengths.In this paper, we present experimental and simulation s
Nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) in Wilms tumor (WT) patients is a surgically challenging procedure used in highly selective cases only.Virtual resections can be used for preoperative planning of NSS to estimate the remnant renal volume (RRV) and to virtually mimic radical tumor resection.In this single-center evaluation study, virtual resection for N
