While the study of phenotypic variation is a central theme in evolutionary biology, genetic approaches available to understanding this are usually limited because lack genomic information non-model organisms. This explored utility next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies for studying variations between 2 populations species, Hokkai shrimp (Pandalus latirostris; Decapoda, Pandalidae). Before we performed transcriptome analyses using NGS, examined and differentiation populations. Analyses...
ABSTRACT We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial genome semidomestic red deer ( Cervus elaphus ) New Zealand. The was 16 357 bp long and contained 13 protein‐coding genes, 12SrRNA , 16SrRNA 22 tRNAs a D‐loop as found in other mammals. Database homology searches showed that DNA (mtDNA) from Zealand similar to partial mtDNA sequences European, Norwegian C. e. atlanticus Spanish hispanicus ). Phylogenetic analysis regions revealed two well‐defined monophyletic clades...
An unconventional myosin encoded by the VI gene (MYO6) contributes to hearing loss in humans. Homozygous mutations of MYO6 result nonsyndromic profound congenital loss, DFNB37. Kumamoto shaker/waltzer (ksv) mice harbor spontaneous mutations, and homozygous mutants exhibit defects balance caused fusion stereocilia. We identified a Myo6c.1381G>A mutation that was found be p.E461K leading alternative splicing errors Myo6 mRNA ksv mutants. analysis protein expression animals harboring this...
In humans, hearing is a major factor in quality of life. Mouse models are important tools for the discovery genes responsible genetic loss, often enabling analysis processes that regulate onset deafness humans. Thus far, at least 400 mutants have been discovered laboratory mouse populations and used study deafness. Here we report new spontaneous recessive Rinshoken shaker/waltzer (rsv) mutant derived from our in-house C57BL/6J stock, which exhibits circling and/or head-tossing behaviour...
The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is a new poultry. In this study, we investigated the haplotype composition of mitochondrial DNA among populations farmed in Japan. We sequenced D-loop region 109 individuals, and detected four substitution sites three haplotypes (Hap-a, -b, -c). Hap-a was most frequently observed Japanese populations. Although Hap-c rare not only but also Australian populations, it with high frequency population. AMOVA indicated that 9% total variance "among population"....
The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is a novel poultry species that produces meat, eggs, and fat. Although emus have recently been domesticated, genetic improvements to establish strains scarcely progressed. In this study, we investigated the relationship between production traits perilipin 1-encoding gene (PLIN1) polymorphisms in emus. We determined partial complementary DNA (cDNA) sequence of PLIN1, which involved lipid droplet formation. identified four nucleotide substitution sites...
Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) are expected to become a novel poultry species for producing eggs, meat, and oil. In our previous studies, Japanese emu populations were predicted have reduced genetic diversity through inbreeding. For sustainable industry in Japan, it is necessary understand the current structure relationships dispersed farms. this study, we investigated of six farms based on mitochondrial DNA microsatellite polymorphisms. We analyzed sequences D-loop region 157 individuals...
ABSTRACT In the present study, mitochondrial DNA sequences of Yeso Sika deer ( Cervus nippon yesoensis ) were studied. Specifically, protein‐coding genes as NADH dehydrogenase subunits (ND1, ND2, ND3, ND4L, ND4, ND5 and ND6), cytochrome c oxidase (CO I CO III), ATP synthase (ATPase8 ATPase6) b . Also, phylogenetic analyses on eight mammalian species performed, including Muntjac Muntiacus reevesi ). The rate amino‐acid substitution was lowest (3.74%) between deer, values other (sheep, cattle,...
Abstract Characterisation of carcass traits and fat quality is important to effectively produce genetically improve emus. We investigated in 309 The meat production female emus showed a significantly higher value than that males (P < 0.01). weight male (9.232 ± 3.156 kg) was larger the (7.772 2.697 kg). rate strongly correlated body (r = 0.79 r 0.75 female, respectively). melting points females were 19.19 3.39°C 19.39 3.39°C, respectively, without significant difference. Since point did...
