Gene structure of the goldfish agouti-signaling protein: A putative role in the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern of fish
Download2005
Schioth, H.B., Haitina, T., Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E.
One of the most successful chromatic adaptations in vertebrates is the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern in which the dorsal skin is darkly colored, whereas the ventrum is light. In fish, the latter pattern is achieved because a melanization inhibition factor inhibits melanoblast differentiation and...

Genetic diversity and selection in North American red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus): A Hamiltonian perspective into the processes and mechanisms of evolution
DownloadFall 2013
The theory of natural selection has advanced our understanding in every aspect of biological sciences, yet despite this seeming ubiquity, there remain some components that are not fully resolved. Natural selection predicts the “selfish” advancement of genes that are optimally suited for their...

Bassett, E., Wishart, D.S., Lu, P., MacDonnell, C., Berjanskii, M., Zhou, J., Liang, J., Zhou, Y., Cruz, J.A., Lin, G., Tang, P.
GeNMR (GEnerate NMR structures) is a web server for rapidly generating accurate 3D protein structures using sequence data, NOE-based distance restraints and/or NMR chemical shifts as input. GeNMR accepts distance restraints in XPLOR or CYANA format as well as chemical shift files in either SHIFTY...

Retroposition is widely found to play essential roles in origination of new mammalian and other animal genes. However, the scarcity of retrogenes in plants has led to the assumption that plant genomes rarely evolve new gene duplicates by retroposition, despite abundant retrotransposons in plants...

Background Insects constitute the vast majority of known species with their importance including biodiversity, agricultural, and human health concerns. It is likely that the successful adaptation of the Insecta clade depends on specific components in its proteome that give rise to specialized...

Identification of a novel lipase gene mutated in lpd mice with hypertriglyceridemia and associated with dyslipidemia in humans
Download2003-05-13
Wen, Xiao-Yan, Hegele, Robert A., Wang, Jian, Wang, Ding Yan, Cheung, Joseph, Wilson, Michael, Yahyapour, Maryam, Bai, Yahong, Zhuang, Lihua, Skaug, Jennifer, Young, T. Kue, Connelly, Philip W., Koop, Ben F., Tsui, Lap-Chee, Stewart, A. Keith
"Triglyceride (TG) metabolism is crucial for whole body and local energy homeostasis and accumulating evidence suggests an independent association between plasma TG concentration and increased atherosclerosis risk. We previously generated a mouse insertional mutation lpd (lipid defect) whose...

Identifying nonspecific ligand binding in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using the reporter molecule method
Download2009
Kitova, Elena N., Sun, Jiangxiao, Sun, Nian, Klassen, John S.
The application of the reporter molecule (Mrep) method for identifying nonspecific complexes in the ES-MS analysis of protein-ligand and DNA-ligand interactions in vitro is described. To test the reliability of the method, it was applied to the ES-MS analysis of protein-carbohydrate complexes...
