Breeding of Animals Proper use of crossbreeding thus relies on breed diversity. Access to arrays of both adapted and highly productive breeds allows synchronization of the genetic characteristics of both breeding females and crossbred offspring to diverse production environments and markets. However, proper...
Non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common serious orthopaedic disease in humans and dogs. Familial risk has been recognized in both species but interactions between genetic effects and environmental risk are not understood. We inve
In working with domestic animals and wanting to select for certain behavioral traits, the knowledge of the QTLs would allow the design of an efficient breeding program to achieve the desired result. This has not actually been done in animals, but the principle is commonly applied in crop plants...
In the context of breeding, a mixed breed is the development of adomesticated animalwhich is considered as a descendent from a different breed of organisms belonging to the same species. Mixed breed often occurs without the involvement of humans. Mixed breed dog is the best example that could ...
Yorkipoo is a poodle mix or designed dog, born from the breeding of a Toy or Miniature Poodle and a Yorkshire Terrier. The Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog breed of the terrier type, originating in Yorkshire, England. It is a popular companion dog with a maximum size of 7 pounds and ...
In this study, we utilized single-nucleus RNA sequencing to examine over 130 000 nuclei from the macaque (Macaca fascicularis) neocortex, complemented by datasets from humans (Homo sapiens), mice (Mus musculus), zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), turtles (Chrysemys picta bellii), and lizards...
Lifespan in general is determined by trade-offsbetween survival and reproduction. Wolves, the ancestors of dogs, can live 15-20 years, roughly twice as long as comparable-sized dogs. They start breeding in the wild no younger than 2 years old. They need to form pairs and establish a terri...
The SV genotypes are derived from PacBio HiFi reads of 15 humans, 15 cattle, and 15 sheep individuals from which training and validation individuals are split according to a ratio of 14: 1. SVLearn models were trained with 18 features (excluding Paragraph features) and 24 features (including...
Blood–brain barrierDay by day, humans and animals are infected with life-threatening and deadly diseases due to mosquito bites. Current methods used to fight these diseases are not fully viable and unsafe for humans and animals. Controlling the germ-carrying mosquitoes requires the immediate ...
mice and humans, the length of the synaptonemal complex is longer in the sex with more crossovers (Tease and Hultén2004; Giraut et al.2011; Gruhn et al.2013; Phillips et al.2015). In Arabidopsis, the difference in crossover rate between the sexes is particularly marked, with male meiosis...
