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...

Natriuretic peptide activation of extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway by particulate guanylyl cyclases in GH3 somatolactotropes (2017)
Journal Article
Jonas, K. C., Melrose, T., Thompson, I. R., Baxter, G. F., Lipscomb, V. J., Niessen, S. J. M., …Fowkes, R. C. (2017). Natriuretic peptide activation of extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway by particulate guanylyl cyclases in GH3 somatolactotropes. Cell and Tissue Research, 369(3), 567-578. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00441-017-2624-x

The natriuretic peptides, Atrial-, B-type and C-type natriuretric peptides (ANP, BNP, CNP), are regulators of many endocrine tissues and exert their effects predominantly through the activation of their specific guanylyl cyclase receptors (GC-A and G...

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modelling after subcutaneous, intravenous and buccal administration of a high-concentration formulation of buprenorphine in conscious cats (2017)
Journal Article
Doodnaught, G. M., Monteiro, B. P., Benito, J., Edge, D., Beaudry, F., Pelligand, L., & Steagall, P. (2017). Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modelling after subcutaneous, intravenous and buccal administration of a high-concentration formulation of buprenorphine in conscious cats. PLoS ONE, 12(4), w0176443. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0176443

The aim of this study was to describe the joint pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model and evaluate thermal antinociception of a high-concentration formulation of buprenorphine (Simbadol™) in cats.

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...
