Conserved repertoire of orthologous vomeronasal type 1 receptor genes in ruminant species.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: In mammals, pheromones play an important role in social and innate reproductive behavior within species. In rodents, vomeronasal receptor type 1 (V1R), which is specifically expressed in the vomeronasal organ, is thought to detect ... Read more...

Genetic characterization of a sheep-dwarf goat hybrid.

29 Aug 2009 Twelve weeks after repeated spontaneous mating between a Bentheimer Landschaf ram and a West African dwarf doe was observed, the doe aborted a dead fetus. The aim of this study was to verify the parentage and the species of the supposed parents and ... Read more...

Interspecific transfer of mammalian artificial chromosomes between farm animals.

21 Jul 2009 It is often desirable to transfer a mammalian artificial chromosome (MAC) from the cells of one species to those of another. Attempts to carry out such transfer have been successful in some cases and have failed in others. In this study we have ... Read more...
