Terrestrial capture of prey by the reedfish, a model species for stem tetrapods (2017)
Journal Article
Van Wassenbergh, S., Bonte, C., & Michel, K. B. (2017). Terrestrial capture of prey by the reedfish, a model species for stem tetrapods. Ecology and Evolution, 7(11), 3856-3860. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.2694

Due to morphological resemblance, polypterid fishes are used as extant analogues of Late Devonian lobe‐finned sarcopterygians to identify the features that allowed the evolution of a terrestrial lifestyle in early tetrapods. Previous studies using po... Read More about Terrestrial capture of prey by the reedfish, a model species for stem tetrapods.

The genomes and history of domestic animals (2017)
Journal Article
Larkin, D. M., & Yudin, N. S. (2017). The genomes and history of domestic animals. Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology, 31(4), 197-202. https://doi.org/10.3103/S0891416816040054

This paper reviews how mammalian genomes are utilized in modern genetics for the detection of genes and polymorphisms (mutations) within domesticated animal (mostly livestock) genomes that are related to traits of economic importance to humans. Examp... Read More about The genomes and history of domestic animals.

RNA-binding proteins in human oogenesis: Balancing differentiation and self-renewal in the female fetal germline (2017)
Journal Article
Rosario, R., Childs, A. J., & Anderson, R. A. (2017). RNA-binding proteins in human oogenesis: Balancing differentiation and self-renewal in the female fetal germline. Stem Cell Research, 21, 193-201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scr.2017.04.008

Primordial germ cells undergo three significant processes on their path to becoming primary oocytes: the initiation of meiosis, the formation and breakdown of germ cell nests, and the assembly of single oocytes into primordial follicles. However at t... Read More about RNA-binding proteins in human oogenesis: Balancing differentiation and self-renewal in the female fetal germline.

Bovine Endometrial Cells Mount Innate Immune Response to the Intracellular Ligands CL097 and Poly(dA:dT) Indicating Roles against Uterine Viruses (2017)
Journal Article
Oguejiofor, C. F., Cheng, Z. R., Fouladi-Nashta, A. A., & Wathes, D. C. (2017). Bovine Endometrial Cells Mount Innate Immune Response to the Intracellular Ligands CL097 and Poly(dA:dT) Indicating Roles against Uterine Viruses. Open Journal of Animal Sciences, 7(2), https://doi.org/10.4236/ojas.2017.72010

Uterine infection and endometritis cause infertility and economic losses in the cattle industry. The innate immune response of the endometrium is critical in the elimination of pathogenic organisms that invade the uterus in postpartum cows. This stud...

Smart wing rotation and trailing-edge vortices enable high frequency mosquito flight (2017)
Journal Article
Bomphrey, R. J., Nakata, T., Phillips, N., & Walker, S. M. (2017). Smart wing rotation and trailing-edge vortices enable high frequency mosquito flight. Nature, 544, 92-95. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature21727

Mosquitoes exhibit unusual wing kinematics; their long, slender wings flap at remarkably high frequencies for their size (>800 Hz)and with lower stroke amplitudes than any other insect group1. This shifts weight support away from the translation-domi... Read More about Smart wing rotation and trailing-edge vortices enable high frequency mosquito flight.
