Mapping the locus for ocular melanosis in Cairn Terriers Open
Objective To map the disease locus for familial ocular melanosis (OM) in the Cairn Terrier. Animals Studied Cairn Terriers with OM and normal control dogs. Procedure A genome‐wide association study (GWAS) was performed using 63 OM‐affected…
Development of a 17-Plex of Penta- and Tetra-Nucleotide Microsatellites for DNA Profiling and Paternity Testing in Horses Open
Tetranucleotide and pentanucleotide short tandem repeat (hereafter termed tetraSTR and pentaSTR) polymorphisms have properties that make them desirable for DNA profiling and paternity testing. However, certain species, such as the horse, h…
A 13-plex of tetra- and penta-STRs to identify zebrafish Open
The zebrafish species Danio rerio has become one of the major vertebrate model organisms used in biomedical research. However, there are aspects of the model that need to be improved. One of these is the ability to identify individual fish…
A Microsatellite Multiplex Assay for Profiling Pig DNA in Mosquito Bloodmeals Open
Genetic profiling has been used to link mosquito bloodmeals to the individual humans, but this analysis has not been done for other mammalian bloodmeals. In this study, we describe a microsatellite-based method for identifying individual p…
Identification of SERINC5-001 as the Predominant Spliced Isoform for HIV-1 Restriction Open
Among the five serine incorporator (SERINC) family members, SERINC5 (Ser5) was reported to strongly inhibit HIV-1 replication, which is counteracted by Nef. Ser5 produces 5 alternatively spliced isoforms: Ser5-001 has 10 putative transmemb…
Molecular Characterization of Three Canine Models of Human Rare Bone Diseases: Caffey, van den Ende-Gupta, and Raine Syndromes Open
One to two percent of all children are born with a developmental disorder requiring pediatric hospital admissions. For many such syndromes, the molecular pathogenesis remains poorly characterized. Parallel developmental disorders in other …
