Machine-learning-based calving prediction from activity, lying, and ruminating behaviors in dairy cattle (2017)
Journal Article
Borchers, M. R., Chang, Y. M., Proudfoot, K. L., Wadsworth, B. A., Stone, A. E., & Bewley, J. M. (2017). Machine-learning-based calving prediction from activity, lying, and ruminating behaviors in dairy cattle. Journal of Dairy Science, 5664-5674. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2016-11526

The objective of this study was to use automated activity, lying, and rumination monitors to characterize prepartum behavior and predict calving in dairy cattle. Data were collected from 20 primiparous and 33 multiparous Holstein dairy cattle from Se...

Hypomorphic conditional deletion of E11/Podoplanin reveals a role in osteocyte dendrite elongation (2017)
Journal Article
Staines, K. A., Javaheri, B., Hohenstein, P., Fleming, R., Ikpegbu, E., Unger, E., …Farquharson, C. (2017). Hypomorphic conditional deletion of E11/Podoplanin reveals a role in osteocyte dendrite elongation. Journal of Cellular Physiology, 232(11), 3006-3019. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.25999

The transmembrane glycoprotein E11/Podoplanin (Pdpn) has been implicated in the initial stages of osteocyte differentiation. However, its precise function and regulatory mechanisms are still unknown. Due to the known embryonic lethality induced by gl... Read More about Hypomorphic conditional deletion of E11/Podoplanin reveals a role in osteocyte dendrite elongation.

Brugia malayi microfilariae adhere to human vascular endothelial cells in a C3-dependent manner (2017)
Journal Article
Schroeder, H., McCarthy, D., Szestak, T., Cook, D. A., Taylor, M., Craig, A. G., …Lawrence, R. A. (2017). Brugia malayi microfilariae adhere to human vascular endothelial cells in a C3-dependent manner. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 11(5), e0005592. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0005592

Brugia malayi causes the human tropical disease, lymphatic filariasis. Microfilariae (Mf) of this nematode live in the bloodstream and are ingested by a feeding mosquito vector. Interestingly, in a remarkable co-evolutionary adaptation, Mf appearance... Read More about Brugia malayi microfilariae adhere to human vascular endothelial cells in a C3-dependent manner.

Detection of early osteogenic commitment in primary cells using Raman spectroscopy (2017)
Journal Article
Smith, S. J., Emery, R., Pitsillides, A. A., Clarkin, C. E., & Mahajan, S. (2017). Detection of early osteogenic commitment in primary cells using Raman spectroscopy. Analyst, 142(11), 1962-1973. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6AN02469F

Major challenges in the development of novel implant surfaces for artificial joints include osteoblast heterogeneity and the lack of a simple and sensitive in vitro assay to measure early osteogenic responses. Raman spectroscopy is a label-free, non-... Read More about Detection of early osteogenic commitment in primary cells using Raman spectroscopy.

Challenges in identifying and interpreting organizational modules in morphology (2017)
Journal Article
Esteve-Altava, B. (2017). Challenges in identifying and interpreting organizational modules in morphology. Journal of Morphology, 278(7), 960-974. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmor.20690

Form is a rich concept that agglutinates information about the proportions and topological arrangement of body parts. Modularity is readily measurable in both features, the variation of proportions (variational modules) and the organization of topolo...

Upgrading short read animal genome assemblies to chromosome level using comparative genomics and a universal probe set (2017)
Journal Article
Damas, J., O'Connor, R., Farré, M., Lenis, V. P. E., Martell, H. J., Mandawala, A., …Larkin, D. M. (2017). Upgrading short read animal genome assemblies to chromosome level using comparative genomics and a universal probe set. Genome Research, 27, 697-708. https://doi.org/10.1101/gr.213660.116

Most recent initiatives to sequence and assemble new species’ genomes de novo fail to achieve the ultimate endpoint to produce contigs, each representing one whole chromosome. Even the best-assembled genomes (using contemporary technologies) consist...
