Validity and accuracy of body fat prediction equations using anthropometrics measurements in adolescents
Download2020-05-19
Ripka, Wagner L., Orsso, Camila E., Haqq, Andrea M., Prado, Carla M., Ulbricht, Leandra, Leite, Neiva
Background The pediatric relative fat mass (RFM) has been recently presented and validated as an index for estimating percentage body fat (%BF) in North American children and adolescents. Similar to body mass index (BMI) and tri-ponderal mass index (TMI), RFM uses anthropometric measures (i.e.,...

Vitamin D supplementation and bone health in adults with diabetic nephropathy: The protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Download2014
Hoffmann, Michelle R., Jindal, Kailash, Senior, Peter A., Mager, Diana R., Jackson, Stephanie T.
Background Suboptimal vitamin D status is highly prevalent in Northern communities, particularly in those patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and chronic renal disease. Emerging literature suggests that adherence to daily vitamin D supplementation may be an important factor...

Walking behaviour and glycemic control in type 2 diabetes: Seasonal and gender differences - Study design and methods
Download2007
Ross, Nancy, Pilote, Louise, Dasgupta, Kaberi, Joseph, Lawrence, Da Costa, Deborah, Sigal, Ronald, Strachan, Ian, Chan, Cathy, De Civita, Mirella
Background The high glucose levels typically occurring among adults with type 2 diabetes contribute to blood vessel injury and complications such as blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and stroke. Higher physical activity levels are associated with improved glycemic control, as measured by...

Liao, Xiaoping, Choi, Jung-Woo, Stothard, Paul, Basu, Urmila, Sumner-Thomson, Jennifer M., Meng, Yan, Moore, Stephen S.
Background One of the goals of livestock genomics research is to identify the genetic differences responsible for variation in phenotypic traits, particularly those of economic importance. Characterizing the genetic variation in livestock species is an important step towards linking genes or...

Whole genome sequence analysis of an alachlor and endosulfan degrading Pseudomonas strain W15Feb9B isolated from Ochlockonee River, Florida
Download2016
Ewida, Ayman Y. I., Stothard, Paul, Chauhan, Ashvini, Griffiths, Zabrenna, Pathak, Ashish
We recently isolated a Pseudomonas sp. strain W15Feb9B from Ochlockonee River, Florida and demonstrated potent biodegradative activity against two commonly used pesticides - Alachlor [(2-chloro-2′,6′-diethylphenyl-N (methoxymethyl)acetanilide)] and Endosulfan...

Background Despite ongoing reductions in the cost of sequencing technologies, whole genome SNP genotype imputation is often used as an alternative for obtaining abundant SNP genotypes for genome wide association studies. Several existing genotype imputation methods can be efficient for this...

Whole-genome analyses of Korean native and Holstein cattle breeds by massively parallel sequencing
Download2014
Kim, Tae-Hun, Oh, Jae-Don, Han, Kwang-Jin, Choi, Jung-Woo, Choi, So-Young, Lee, Hak-Kyo, Stothard, Paul, Jeon, Heoyn-Jeong, Lee, Kyung-Tai, Lee, Jeong-Koo, Jeong, Dongkee, Kim, Namshin, Chung, Won-Hyong, Kim, Hyeong-Cheol, Liao, Xiaoping, Yang, Bokyoung, Miller, Stephen P., Lee, Sung-Jin
A main goal of cattle genomics is to identify DNA differences that account for variations in economically important traits. In this study, we performed whole-genome analyses of three important cattle breeds in Korea—Hanwoo, Jeju Heugu, and Korean Holstein—using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing...

Whole-genome resequencing of Hanwoo (Korean cattle) and insight into regions of homozygosity
Download2013
Lee, Kyung-Tai, Ahn, Sungmin, Choy, Yun H., Lee, Sang-Heon, Jang, Gul-Won, Liao, Xiaoping, Lee, Seunghwan, Lee, Sung-Yeoun, Chung, Won-Hyong, Stothard, Paul, Choi, Jung-Woo, Kim, Tae-Hun, Kim, Bumsoo, Kim, Jiwoong, Lim, Dajeong, Moore, Stephen S., Kim, Namshin
Background Hanwoo (Korean cattle), which originated from natural crossbreeding between taurine and zebu cattle, migrated to the Korean peninsula through North China. Hanwoo were raised as draft animals until the 1970s without the introduction of foreign germplasm. Since 1979, Hanwoo has been bred...

Xylo-oligosaccharides and virginiamycin differentially modulate gut microbial composition in chickens
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Pourabedin, Mohsen, Guan, Leluo
Background The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in pathogens have led to a restriction on the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in animal feed in some countries. The potential negative after-effects of a ban on AGPs could be mitigated by improving animal intestinal health...

Three local varietal types of corn (Zea mays L.)—an improved landrace ICTA Farm Corn' derived from the Tuson population, the open-pollinatedAcross 7728', and the hybrid Pioneer 3098'—were grown at three cash-crop farms in Trinidad, and evaluated as green corn for agronomic, quality, and chemical...
