Deciphering the origins of phenotypic variations in natural animal populations is a challenging topic for evolutionary and conservation biologists. Atypical morphologies mammals are usually attributed to interspecific hybridisation or de-novo mutations. Here we report case four golden jackals (Canis aureus), that were observed during camera-trapping wildlife survey Northern Israel, displaying anomalous morphological traits, such as white patches, an upturned tail, long thick fur which...
Diverse populations worldwide are differentially affected by Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), while socio-economic background has been studied extensively, little is known about the genetic variation underlying this phenomenon. This study aimed at examining basis behind discrepancies among diverse ethnic groups in terms of COVID-19 susceptibility for viral infection, prognosis and mortality. To end, silico analysis single nucleotide polymorphic sites (SNPs) within regulatory sequences...
Sensitivity to macrocyclic lactones, which are commonly used in veterinary clinics, was first found Rough Collies, and attributed 2001 a 4 bp deletion the MDR1 gene. The list of affected breeds currently includes 13 breeds. Researchers from different countries continents examined allelic frequencies nt230(del4) mutation, emphasizing clinical importance this test not only mutation-prone dogs, but also their crosses mongrels, since treatment carrier with these compounds may lead its death. In...
In recent years, the perception of transposable genetic elements has changed from "junk DNA" to a focus interest when appearing near or inside genes. Bov-A2 is short interspersed nuclear element (SINE) that was first found in Bovidae and later other ruminants. This retroposon mostly used as marker for phylogenetic analysis.We describe insertions promoter region TP53, key tumor suppressor gene indispensable diverse developmental processes, Antilopinae Tragelaphini (belonging Bovinae...
Is there an association between spermatozoon genomic stability and vacuolar morphology location?The of spermatozoa is associated with specific characteristics (depth) location (cellular compartment, i.e. nucleus equatorial region).Genetic anomalies in sperm are correlated semen abnormalities, yet the advantage morphologically based selection for IVF according to current criteria controversial. Selection on number vacuoles their size have been proposed widely applied. Nevertheless, it has not...
Proteins and peptides have been used as drugs for almost a century. Technological advances in the past 30 years enabled production of pure, stable proteins vast amounts. In contrast, administration based on their native active conformation (and thus necessitating use subcutaneous injections) has remained solely unchanged. The therapeutic anti-HER2 humanized monoclonal immunoglobulin (IgG) Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is first line treatment breast cancer. Chicken IgY commercially important...
Abundant evidence strongly suggests that the condition of pregnancy makes women and their fetuses highly vulnerable to severe Corona-virus 2019 (COVID-19) complications. Here, two novel hypoxia-related conditions are proposed play a pivotal role in better understanding relationship between COVID-19, poor health outcomes. The first condition, “misattributed dyspnea (shortness breath)” refers respiratory symptoms common both advanced which mistakenly perceived as related former rather than...
