Sheep retroviruses can be used to map the selective preferences of early farmers and trace livestock movements across Europe.
The region of Campania (particularly Naples and Caserta) has experienced an emergency in the waste management cycle during past years. Although most critical phase been overcome after construction incineration plant Acerra (an old-fashioned technology built up over a few months, whose impact on environment health not yet assessed), underlying problems have resolved. illegal burning wheels, plastics, textiles, other industrial residuals, along with detection two thousand toxic substance...
Silver staining of Swamp buffalo {2n = 48) metaphase chromosomes revealed telomeric nucleolus organizer regions (NOR's) located on five pairs autosomes identified by R-banding as numbers 4 p (submetacentric), 8, 20, 22, and 23 {acrocentrics); inter-phase nuclei also showed no more than nucleoli. The Murrah 50) was previously reported to have NOR's six pairs,—3 (submeta-centrics), 21, 23, 24 (acrocentrics). By comparing the two types it concluded that: all are similar in banding patterns;...
The association of abnormal chromosome constitutions and disorders sex development in domestic animals has been recorded since the beginnings conventional cytogenetic analysis. Deviated karyotypes consisting sets (e.g. aneuploidy) and/or coexistence cells with different mosaicism or chimerism) an individual seem to be main causes anomalies determination differentiation. Molecular cytogenetics genetics have increased our understanding these pathologies, where human mouse models provided a...
Abstract Water buffalo is a globally important species for agriculture and local economies. A de novo assembled, well-annotated reference sequence the water an prerequisite studying biology of this species, necessary to manage genetic diversity use modern breeding genomic selection techniques. However, no such genome assembly has been previously reported. There are 2 domestic buffalo, river (2n = 50) swamp 48) buffalo. Here we describe draft quality created from Illumina GA Roche 454 short...
Comparative FISH mapping of river buffalo (<i>Bubalus bubalis,</i> BBU), sheep (<i>Ovis aries,</i> OAR), and cattle (<i>Bos taurus,</i> BTA) X chromosomes revealed homologies divergences between the in subfamilies Bovinae Caprinae. Twenty-four 17 loci were assigned for first time to BBU OAR X, respectively, noticeably extending physical map these two species. Seventeen (four which time) also mapped BTA used comparative studies on three species, show...
Multi-copied gene families are prevalent in mammalian genomes, especially within the Y chromosome. Testis specific protein Y-encoded <i>(TSPY)</i> is present variable copy number many species. Previous studies have estimated that <i>TSPY</i> ranges from 50–200 copies cattle. To examine localization on chromosome we employed fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) and fiber-FISH. The results show a strong signal short arm of (Yp). investigate used relative real-time...
Sixty-four genomic BAC-clones mapping five type I (ADCYAP1, HRH1, IL3, RBP3B and SRY) 59 II loci, previously FISH-mapped to goat (63 loci) cattle (SRY) chromosomes, were fluorescence in situ mapped river buffalo R-banded noticeably extending the physical map of this species. All loci from 26 bovine syntenic groups located on homeologous chromosomes chromosome regions (cattle) confirming high degree homeologies among bovids. Furthermore, an improved cytogenetic with 293 all 31 is reported.

The investigation demonstrated: (a) presence one block constitutive heterochromatin the q-arm translocation chromosome; (b)...
G,Q and R-banding pattern comparisons between the Murrah type of Bubalus bubalis L. (2n = 50) Holstein Friesian breed Bos taurus 60) chromosomes revealed that autosomes are similar in both species; former, five pairs submetacentrics correspond to centric fusions 1-29, 2-22, 8-19, 5-28 16-25 latter. Silver staining on somatic cells buffalo telomeric Ag-NORs located six autosomes, identified as 3p, 4p, 8, 21, 23 24. Only one pair nucleolus organizer is common species, namely 4p which...
The main goal of this study was to develop a comparative multi-colour Zoo-FISH on domestic ruminants metaphases using combination whole chromosome and sub-chromosomal painting probes obtained from the river buffalo species (Bubalus bubalis, 2n = 50,XY). A total 13 DNA were through microdissection DOP-PCR amplification, labelled with two fluorochromes sequentially hybridized buffalo, cattle (Bos taurus, 60,XY), sheep (Ovis aries, 54,XY) goat (Capra hircus, 60,XY) metaphases. same set...
During the past four years several livestock farms (sheep, cattle and river buffalo) in provinces of Naples Caserta (southern Italy) have been unable to sell their milk other dairy products due levels dioxins (17 different types) present mass exceeding value permitted [3 pg/g fat, as human WHO 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD or dioxin) equivalent]. While some farms, especially those showing relatively low dioxins, managed reduce below threshold by changing diet, many, sheep failed...
Bovine lymphocytes in McCoy culture medium and autologous plasma were exposed to 50 Hz 2.4 µA/cm2 current density. Chromosomal aberrations (breaks, aneuploidy, ployploidy, deletions, fragments) significantly increased cultures. The number of sister chromatid exchanges was unchanged.
