Time lapse: A glimpse into prehistoric genomics (2019)
Journal Article
Griffin, D. K., Larkin, D. M., & O'Connor, R. E. (2019). Time lapse: A glimpse into prehistoric genomics. European Journal of Medical Genetics, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmg.2019.03.004

For the purpose of this review, ‘time-lapse’ refers to the reconstruction of ancestral (in this case dinosaur) karyotypes using genome assemblies of extant species. Such reconstructions are only usually possible when genomes are assembled to ‘chromos... Read More about Time lapse: A glimpse into prehistoric genomics.

Vascular white matter lesions negatively correlate with brain metastases in malignant melanoma - results from a retrospective comparative analysis (2019)
Journal Article
Berk, B. A., Hering, K., Kortmann, R., Hoffmann, K., Ziemer, M., & Seidel, C. (2019). Vascular white matter lesions negatively correlate with brain metastases in malignant melanoma - results from a retrospective comparative analysis. Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 180, 117-121. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clineuro.2019.03.016

Brain metastasis (BM) is a major complication of different cancers. There is increasing evidence for influence of vascular factors on BM in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is not known if the same is true for other tumors that mi...

Genome-wide association study and scan for signatures of selection point to candidate genes for body temperature maintenance under the cold stress in Siberian cattle populations (2019)
Journal Article
Igoshin, A. V., Yurchenko, A. A., Belonogova, N. M., Petrovsky, D. V., Aitnazarov, R. B., Soloshenko, V. A., …Larkin, D. M. (2019). Genome-wide association study and scan for signatures of selection point to candidate genes for body temperature maintenance under the cold stress in Siberian cattle populations. BMC Genomics, 20(Suppl 1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12863-019-0725-0

Design of new highly productive livestock breeds, well-adapted to local climatic conditions is one of the aims of modern agriculture and breeding. The genetics underlying economically important traits in cattle are widely studied, whereas our knowled...

Smooth muscle cell-specific knockout of neuropilin-1 impairs postnatal lung development and pathological vascular smooth muscle cell accumulation (2019)
Journal Article
Mahmoud, M., Evans, I. M., Mehta, V., Pellet-Many, C., Paliashvili, K., & Zachary, I. (2019). Smooth muscle cell-specific knockout of neuropilin-1 impairs postnatal lung development and pathological vascular smooth muscle cell accumulation. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpcell.00405.2018

Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) is important for neuronal and cardiovascular development due to its role in conveying class 3 semaphorin and vascular endothelial growth factor signaling, respectively. NRP1 is expressed in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and mediates...

Relating neuromuscular control to functional anatomy of limb muscles in extant archosaurs (2019)
Journal Article
Cuff, A. R., Daley, M. A., Michel, K. B., Allen, V. R., Lamas, L. P., Adami, C., …Hutchinson, J. R. (2019). Relating neuromuscular control to functional anatomy of limb muscles in extant archosaurs. Journal of Morphology, 280(5), 666-680. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmor.20973

Electromyography (EMG) is used to understand muscle activity patterns in animals. Understanding how much variation exists in muscle activity patterns in homologous muscles across animal clades during similar behaviours is important for evaluating the...

From the raw bar to the bench: Bivalves as models for human health (2019)
Journal Article
Fernández Robledo, J. A., Yadavalli, R., Allam, B., Pales Espinosa, E., Gerdol, M., Greco, S., …Metzger, M. J. (2019). From the raw bar to the bench: Bivalves as models for human health. Developmental and Comparative Immunology, 92, 260-282. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dci.2018.11.020

Bivalves, from raw oysters to steamed clams, are popular choices among seafood lovers and once limited to the coastal areas. The rapid growth of the aquaculture industry and improvement in the preservation and transport of seafood have enabled them t...

Terrestrial mammalian wildlife responses to Unmanned Aerial Systems approaches (2019)
Journal Article
Bennitt, E., Bartlam-Brooks, H. L. A., Hubel, T. Y., & Wilson, A. M. (2019). Terrestrial mammalian wildlife responses to Unmanned Aerial Systems approaches. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-38610-x

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are increasingly being used recreationally, commercially and for wildlife research, but very few studies have quantified terrestrial mammalian reactions to UAS approaches. We used two Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL)... Read More about Terrestrial mammalian wildlife responses to Unmanned Aerial Systems approaches.
