Y-Chromosome Markers for the Red Fox

Chromosomes of the Red Fox.

Development of Y chromosome intraspecific polymorphic markers in the Felidae.

Y chromosome haplotyping based on microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has proved to be a powerful tool for population genetic studies of humans. However, the promise of the approach is hampered in the majority of nonhuman mammals by the lack of Y-specific polymorphic markers. We were able to identify new male-specific polymorphisms in the domestic cat Felis catus and 6 ad...

I-49: Human Y Chromosome ProteomeProject

The success of the Human Genome Project (HGP) has provided a blueprint for the approximately 20,000 gene-encoded proteins potentially active in all of the hundreds of cell types that make up the human body. Yet we still have limited knowledge about a majority of the gene-encoded proteins which are the “building blocks of life” and “cellular machinery”. It is estimated that for nearly half of th...

DHPLC Applications: Finding DNA Variation on the Y Chromosome

Denaturing High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (DHPLC) is a recently developed technique forthe detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and mutations. It involves the comparisonbetween two or more DNAs as a mixture of denatured and reannealed PCR products. The methodologyis based on the principle of reversed phase liquid chromatography and uses a unique DNA sepa...

Fox(y) regulators of VEGF receptors.

V ascular development is a multistep process that initially involves vasculogenesis, the process of de novo formation of the primitive vasculature from mesodermal precursors, and angiogenesis, that involves sprouting and remodeling of the primitive vasculature. 1 This is followed by vascular fate specification steps that define formation of arterial, venous, and lymphatic vasculatures. 2 This c...
