Comparative Analysis of the Shadoo Gene between Cattle and Buffalo Reveals Significant Differences
BACKGROUND While prions play a central role in the pathogenesis of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, the biology of these proteins and the pathophysiology of these diseases remain largely unknown. Since no case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) has ever been reported in buffalo despite their phylogenetic proximity to cattle, genetic differences may be driving the different susc...
متن کاملStructural Alignment Facilitates Discovering Differences
What can differences tell us about the process of comparison? The structural alignment model posits that psychologically salient differences arise out of commonalities (Markman & Gentner, 1993) . This leads to the counterintuitive prediction that high similarity pairs (e .g ., bicycle/tricycle) should elicit more differences than low similarity pairs (e .g ., broom/ambulance), since high simila...
متن کاملComparative analysis of the river buffalo somatostatin gene.
The somatostatin protein plays a crucial role in the regulation of multiple biological functions, such as growth, fat deposition, and nutrient absorption in vertebrates. Polymorphisms in the somatostatin gene have been associated with growth traits in livestock species, including cattle and goat. In this study, we conducted complete molecular characterization of the somatostatin gene in Bubalus...
متن کاملExon discovery by genomic sequence alignment
MOTIVATION During evolution, functional regions in genomic sequences tend to be more highly conserved than randomly mutating 'junk DNA' so local sequence similarity often indicates biological functionality. This fact can be used to identify functional elements in large eukaryotic DNA sequences by cross-species sequence comparison. In recent years, several gene-prediction methods have been propo...
متن کاملComparative genomic analysis between Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis strains isolated from buffalo
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-positive, pleomorphic, facultative intracellular pathogen that causes Oedematous Skin Disease (OSD) in buffalo. To better understand the pathogenic mechanisms of OSD, we performed a comparative genomic analysis of 11 strains of C. pseudotuberculosis isolated from different buffalo found to be infected in Egypt during an outbreak that occurred in 2008...
