Background Radiation hybrid (RH) maps are considered to be a tool of choice for fine mapping closely linked loci, considering that the resolution of linkage maps is determined by the number of informative meiosis and recombination events which may require very large mapping populations....

The recognition of virus infected cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes is dependent on antigen presentation by MHC class I on the cell surface. Antigen presentation is critically dependent on the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), which facilitates the transport of peptides across...

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious prion disease spreading and emerging in wild and captive Cervidae species worldwide. Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders occurring in various mammalian species including deer, elk, sheep, cattle and humans. Central to prion...

Background Gene conversion causes a non-reciprocal transfer of genetic information between similar sequences. Gene conversion can both homogenize genes and recruit point mutations thereby shaping the evolution of multigene families. In the rice genome, the large number of duplicated genes...

Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) maps can provide a wealth of information on specific marker-phenotype relationships, especially in areas of the genome where positional candidate genes with similar functions are located. A recently published high resolution radiation hybrid map of bovine...

Breast cancer is a complex multifactorial disease with the interplay of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors contributing to the disease risk. Studies based on twins estimated that ~30% of the risk is due to genetic factors. High and moderate penetrant mutations along with low penetrance...

Coalitions in Northern Ireland have been organizing across the ethno-nationalist divide for decades. Yet, while empirical research has addressed challenges of, and potential for, organizing across ethnonationalism, the ways in which coalition members attend to their complex subjectivites have...

Leukocyte Ig-like Receptor 1 (LILRB1) is an inhibitory receptor expressed on a number of immune cells. The expression profile on NK cells is variable between people, with a range of 25-80% of NK cells expressing LILRB1. We previously uncovered a correlation between genotype within the 5’ end of...
