O'Sullivan, N.P., Wong, G.K., Lawley, C.T., McKay, J.C., Groenen, M.A., Fulton, J.E., Crooijmans, R.P., Muir, W.M., Megens, H.J., Cheng, H.H., McLeod, S., Zhang, H.M., Zhang, Y., Albers, G.A.A., Delany, M.E., Settar, P., Okimoto, R., Vereijken, A., Wang, J., Jungerius-Rattink, A.
In 2004 the chicken genome sequence and more than 2.8 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were reported. This information greatly enhanced the ability of poultry scientists to understand chicken biology, especially with respect to identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and...

A recA-like gene isolated from the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis was cloned and partially characterized. When introduced into Escherichia coli recA mutants, the 7.5-kilobase-pair plasmid-borne DNA insert restored resistance to methyl methanesulfonate and UV irradiation, as well as...

Cilia are microtubule-based structures that project from nearly every cell in the vertebrate body. While cilia in different contexts can have either sensory or motile functions, all cilia rely upon a core set of genes. When these genes are mutated either singly or in various combinations, a...

Large corporations have a significant amount of working capital tied into the acquisition and storage of spare parts. In the industry, spare parts inventory policies and strategies are often developed in isolation from reliability centered maintenance practices – this results in significant...

Choroideremia is an X-linked monogenic inherited retinal disease. It affects males starting in their teenage years with night blindness followed by progressive vision loss starting in the peripherals and ending with total vision loss late in life. It is estimated that 1 in 50,000 individuals...

Advanced agronomic practices to maximize feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) yield, quality, and standability in Alberta environments
DownloadFall 2017
The grain yields of feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) have increased at a slower rate than the yields of other major crops in Alberta, and seeded barley acres have declined over the past 20 years. Agronomic management and cultivar specific responses to management may provide solutions to increase...

Innate Immunity and the Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Gene Therapy for Inherited Retinal Disorders
DownloadFall 2021
Background: The photoreceptors are post-mitotic (no longer dividing), so the eye has evolved several unique immunological mechanisms to protect the photoreceptors and prevent vision loss. Inherited retinal disorders occur when mutations disrupt normal retinal function and photoreceptors die....

Disease resilience is defined as an animal’s ability to maintain a high level of performance in the face of disease challenges caused by multiple pathogens, as is often the case in commercial pig farms. Therefore, disease resilience is anticipated to be critical to the profitability of the pig...

Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a major threat to canola production. Cultivation of resistant cultivars is the key component in managing this disease. Canola is an important oilseed crop in the world; this includes the allopolyploid species Brassica napus L. (AACC genome,...

Rac1 is a small GTPase that belongs to the Rho family. Like other Rho family GTPases, it mediates a plethora of cellular effects, including regulation of cytoarchitecture, cell size, cell adhesion, cell polarity, cell motility, proliferation, apoptosis/survival, and membrane trafficking. The...
