Method specific calibration corrects for DNA extraction method effects on relative telomere length measurements by quantitative PCR (2016)
Journal Article
Seeker, L. A., Holland, R., Underwood, S., Fairlie, J., Psifidi, A., Ilska, J. J., …Nussey, D. H. (2016). Method specific calibration corrects for DNA extraction method effects on relative telomere length measurements by quantitative PCR. PLoS ONE, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0164046

Telomere length (TL) is increasingly being used as a biomarker in epidemiological, biomedical and ecological studies. A wide range of DNA extraction techniques have been used in telomere experiments and recent quantitative PCR (qPCR) based studies su...

Genome-wide association studies of immune, disease and productivity traits in indigenous chicken ecotypes (2016)
Journal Article
Psifidi, A., Banos, G., Matika, O., Desta, T. T., Bettridge, J., Hume, D. A., …Kaiser, P. (2016). Genome-wide association studies of immune, disease and productivity traits in indigenous chicken ecotypes. Genetics Selection Evolution, 48(74), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12711-016-0252-7

The majority of chickens in sub-Saharan Africa are indigenous ecotypes, well adapted to the local environment and raised in scavenging production systems. Although they are generally resilient to disease challenge, routine vaccination and biosecurity...

Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting (2016)
Journal Article
Knowles, E. J., Harris, P. A., Elliott, J., & Menzies-Gow, N. J. (2016). Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting. Equine Veterinary Journal, 49, 519-524. https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.12607

Background It is recommended that the Oral Sugar Test (OST) for insulin dysregulation (ID) is performed after an overnight fast but fasting is impractical in ponies kept solely at pasture. There are few data on OST repeatability and reliability in p... Read More about Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting.
