BACKGROUND Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play important roles in the responses to different environmental stresses. In this study, the genomic and proteomic characteristics of three HSPs (HSP70, HSP90-a and HSP90-b) in five even-toed ungulates (sheep, goats, water buffalo, Zebu cattle and cattle) were analy...
Background: Circular RNAs, a novel class in the eukaryotic transcriptome, are characterized by the 3′ and 5′ ends that are covalently joined in a covalently closed loop without free ends. Circular RNAs are considerably stable molecules and act as microRNA sponges with regulatory potential to the prot...
Background: CPEB is considered as an RNA-binding protein first identified in Xenopus oocytes. Although CPEB1 was involved in the growth of oocyte, its role in goat follicular granulosa cell has not been fully elucidated. To clarify the functions of this gene in goat follicular granulosa cells, CPEB1-over...
Background: Finding molecular markers linked to quantitative trait loci is the first step in marker-assisted selection (MAS). Microsatellites are excellent molecular markers because of their large numbers, even distribution in the genome, and high polymorphism. In this study, the polymerisation effect of...
Genotypic comparison between Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis samples obtained from sheep and goats with caseous lymphadenitis, raised in the semi-arid region of Pernambuco
Objetivou-se com este estudo comparar genotipicamente 35 isolados de Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis recuperados de conteúdo de abscessos de caprinos e ovinos com linfadenite caseosa, procedentes de cinco municípios localizados no Sertão de Pernambuco, Brasil. Utilizou-se a técnica de fingerprint ...
