Genome-wide association study for body weight in cattle populations from Siberia (2019)
Journal Article
Igoshin, A. V., Yudin, N. S., Belonogova, N. M., & Larkin, D. M. (2019). Genome-wide association study for body weight in cattle populations from Siberia. Animal Genetics, 50(3), 250-253. https://doi.org/10.1111/age.12786

Body weight is a complex trait in cattle associated with commonly used commercial breeding measurements related to growth. Although many quantitative trait loci (QTL) for body weight have been identified in cattle so far, searching for genetic determ...

Pretectal projections to the oculomotor cerebellum in hummingbirds ( Calypte anna ), zebra finches ( Taeniopygia guttata ), and pigeons ( Columba livia ) (2019)
Journal Article
Gaede, A. H., Gutierrez‐Ibanez, C., Armstrong, M. S., Altshuler, D. L., & Wylie, D. R. (2019). Pretectal projections to the oculomotor cerebellum in hummingbirds ( Calypte anna ), zebra finches ( Taeniopygia guttata ), and pigeons ( Columba livia ). Journal of Comparative Neurology, 527(16), 2644-2658. https://doi.org/10.1002/cne.24697

In birds, optic flow is processed by a retinal‐recipient nucleus in the pretectum, the nucleus lentiformis mesencephali (LM), which then projects to the cerebellum, a key site for sensorimotor integration. Previous studies have shown that the LM is h...
