Low coverage sequencing of two Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) genomes
BACKGROUND There are three species of elephant that exist, the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) and two species of African elephant (Loxodonta africana and Loxodonta cyclotis). The populations of all three species are dwindling, and are under threat due to factors, such as habitat destruction and ivory hunting. The species differ in many respects, including in their morphology and response to d...
متن کاملIsolation and culture of primary adult skin fibroblasts from the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
Background Primary cultures from Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) allow scientists to obtain representative cells that have conserved most of their original characteristics, function, physiology and biochemistry. This technique has thus gained significant importance as a foundation for further cellular, cell biology and molecular research. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe condi...
متن کاملMacroanatomy of the Bones of Thoracic Limb of an Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus)
Bones of forelimb were studied from a prepared skeleton of an adult female Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) in Anatomy Museum of Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University to understand the morphological form and structure of Asian elephant forelimb. The angle was approximately 123o between caudal border of scapula and caudal border of humerus. The scapula, humerus and bones of the an...
متن کاملEccrine carcinoma in the foot of an Asian elephant (Elephas maximus).

The tumor between the toenails of the right forefoot was surgically removed 3 yr before postmortem examination (2003), and the histopathologic diagnosis was compound eccrine carcinoma characterized with glandular tubular and papillary proliferations, m...
متن کاملPotential factors affecting semen quality in the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
BACKGROUND One of the major obstacles in using artificial insemination to manage genetics of elephant population in captivity is the large variations in semen quality among ejaculates within the same and among individuals. The objectives of this study were to determine the influences of (1) age (2) seasonality (3) and circulating testosterone (SrTest), triiodothyronine (SrT3) and tetraiodothyro...
