This has led to the discovery of the causal genes and mutations for several single-gene traits but not for complex traits. However, the genetic merit of animals can still be estimated by genomic selection, which uses genome-wide SNP panels as markers and statistical methods that capture the ...
“the antithesis” of the ideal social/cultural human space and order where nature is subdued. Pigeons, for example, were early “problem animals” with media depicting them as filthy, immoral, and a public health issue. As a result, the feeding of pigeons was outlawed and their extermination...

I had a reading with Sky concerning three of my beloved animals. The accuracy of the information she provided was nothing short of remarkable. Sky pinpointed health issues, personality traits and confirmed information only known to me and my family. Sky also provided useful actions, remedies and...
Animals transmit not only DNA but also other molecules, such as RNA, proteins and metabolites, to their progeny via gametes. It is currently unclear to what extent these molecules convey information between generations and whether this information changes according to their physiological state and envi...
The Opisthokonta, a principal eukaryotic group which includes animals, fungi and their deep-branching relatives, with the Amoebozoa as a close outgroup, present an ideal context for such an evolutionary cell biology analysis, with species in the clade exhibiting a broad range of genome organization...
At the very least, if we had improved their condi- tions, perhaps fewer animals would have contracted SARS and passed it on to us. 6 Animals and Public Health Undoubtedly, treating other animals better is not the solution to every public health problem we face and, of course, no matter ...
