Comparative genomics of the chitinase gene family in lodgepole and jack pines: contrasting responses to biotic threats and landscape level investigation of genetic differentiation.
Download2021-02-01
Peery, Rhiannon M., McAllister, Chandra H., Cullingham, Catherine I., Mahon, Elizabeth L., Arango-Velez, Adriana, Cooke, Janice E. K.
The sister species, lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb), face pressures from a multitude of biotic agents, including mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, 1902) and their pathogenic fungal associates (e.g., Grosmannia...

Alamouti, Sepideh Massoumi, Haridas, Sajeet, Feau, Nicolas, Robertson, Gordon, Bohlmann, Jorg, Breuil, Colette
Studies on beetle/tree fungal symbionts typically characterize the ecological and geographic distributions of the fungal populations. There is limited understanding of the genome-wide evolutionary processes that act within and between species as such fungi adapt to different environments, leading...

Comparative Morphology and Phylogenetic Placement of Two Microsclerotial Black Fungi from Sphagnum
Download2003
Currah, R.S., Hambleton, S., Tsuneda, A.
Capnobotryella renispora and Scleroconidioma sphagnicola form black, irregularly shaped microsclerotia that are indistinguishable in gross morphology on leaves of Sphagnum fuscum. In culture, microsclerotia of these fungi were similar, in that mature component cells possessed thick, highly...

Comparative perspectives on the regulation of assisted reproductive technologies in Canada and the United Kingdom
Download2006
This article highlights some concerns with the regulatory structure envisioned by Canada's new Assisted Human Reproduction Act, principally by comparing Canada's proposed Assisted Human Reproduction Agency (AHRA) with the United Kingdom's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). The...

Tennessen, T., Berg, R. T., Price, M. A.
Seven groups of six bulls and seven groups of six steers were transported separately by truck for either 10 min or 2 h. Body weight, rectal temperature, respiratory rate, serum cortisol, and a chute score were recorded before and after trucking. Heart rate was monitored by telemetry in one animal...

Comparative study of substrate and product binding to the human ABO(H) blood group glycosyltransferases
Download2009
Klassen, John S., Shoemaker, Glen K., Palcic, Monica M., Soya, Naoto
The first comparative thermodynamic study of the human blood group glycosyltransferases, α-(1→3)-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GTA) and α-(1→3)-galactosyltransferase (GTB), interacting with donor substrates, donor and acceptor analogs, and trisaccharide products in vitro is reported. The...

Comparative transcriptomic analysis of rectal tissue from beef steers revealed reduced host immunity in Escherichia coli O157:H7 super-shedders
Download2016-03-09
McAllister, Tim A., Wang, Ou, Plastow, Graham, Stanford, Kim, Liang, Guanxiang, Guan, Le L., Selinger, Brent
Super-shedder cattle are a major disseminator of E. coli O157:H7 into the environment, and the terminal rectum has been proposed as the primary E. coli O157:H7 colonization site. This study aimed to identify host factors that are associated with the super-shedding process by comparing...

Comparative variation within the genome of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 in human and murine hosts
Download2014
Selinger, L. Brent, Taboada, Eduardo N., Uwiera, Richard R. E., Abbott, D. Wade, Inglis, G. Douglas, Thomas, Dallas K., Lone, Abdul G.
Campylobacteriosis incited by C. jejuni is a significant enteric disease of human beings. A person working with two reference strains of C. jejuni National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC) 11168 developed symptoms of severe enteritis including bloody diarrhea. The worker was determined to be...
