Detection of selective sweeps in cattle using genome-wide SNP data
(BioMed Central, 2013-06-07)
Background: The domestication and subsequent selection by humans to create breeds and biological types of cattle undoubtedly altered the patterning of variation within their genomes. Strong selection to fix advantageous ...
Updated distribution of Aedes albopictus in Oklahoma, and implications in arbovirus transmission
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 2015-03)
A series of statewide surveys were conducted in Oklahoma in the summers between 1991 and 2004 to identify the distribution of Aedes albopictus. Adult mosquitoes were identified in 63 counties, bringing the currently known ...
Effect of high-fat diet on the formation of pulmonary neutrophil extracellular traps during influenza pneumonia in BALB/c mice
(Frontiers Media, 2016-08-02)
Obesity is an independent risk factor for severe outcome of influenza infection. Higher dietary fat consumption has been linked to greater morbidity and severe influenza in mouse models. However, the extent of generation ...
Crystallization of interleukin-18 for structure-based inhibitor design
(International Union of Crystallography, 2015)
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the IL-1 superfamily. IL-18 plays an important role in host innate and acquired immune defense, with its activity being modulated in vivo by ...
Trends in biomedical research in Namibia: 1995-2009
(2012)
Research publications are often used as proxies for the scientific progress and development of a particular country. Country-specific bibliometric studies reflect national strategies to build capacity in tertiary education, ...

(International Union of Crystallography, 2013)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in susceptible individuals and is resistant to most clinically available antimicrobials. Genomic and proteomic studies have ...
Genomic resources for a model in adaptation and speciation research: Characterization of the Poecilia mexicana transcriptome
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-21)
Background: Elucidating the genomic basis of adaptation and speciation is a major challenge in natural systems with large quantities of environmental and phenotypic data, mostly because of the scarcity of genomic resources ...
