This study was designed to determine the effect of some environmental factors on milk yield and composition in Saanen goats CSN3 AGPAT6 gene polymorphisms production traits. were genotyped for traits, samples collected during lactation, yield/compositions each goat specified. In terms genes, genotypes defined by PCR-RFLP. The (MY), lactation length (LL), protein, fat, total solid (TS), not fat ...

This short communication aimed to develop a fast and straightforward method for the simultaneous discrimination in buffaloes of alleles CSN1S1 A/B CSN3 X1/X2 using single protocol. DNA wa...

The aims of this study were to assess the genetic variability in the exon 1 of the κ-casein gene in four Italian horse populations (Italian Saddle horse, Italian Trotter, Italian Heavy Draught horse, and Murgese horse) and in a sample of Martina Franca donkey by estimating genotype, allele and haplotype frequencies, as well as several population genetic indices. Genotyping of the selected polym...

Genetic variations in the four casein genes CSN1S1 , CSN2 CSN1S2 and CSN3 have obtained substantial attention since they affect milk protein yield, composition, cheese processing properties, digestibility as well tolerance human nutrition. Furthermore, variants are used for breed characterization, biodiversity, phylogenetic studies. The current study aimed at identification of five domestic goa...

Temporal patterns of spiking often convey behaviorally relevant information. Various synaptic mechanisms and intrinsic membrane properties can influence neuronal selectivity to temporal patterns of input. However, little is known about how synaptic mechanisms and intrinsic properties together determine the temporal selectivity of neuronal output. We tackled this question by recording from midbr...

In the present paper, we report for the first time the characterization of llama (Lama glama) caseins at transcriptomic and genetic level. A total of 288 casein clones transcripts were analysed from two lactating llamas. The most represented mRNA populations were those correctly assembled (85.07%) and they encoded for mature proteins of 215, 217, 187 and 162 amino acids respectively for the CSN...

Single crystals as well as microcrystalline powders of Cs2NiO2 were obtained via the azide/nitrate route from appropriate mixtures of CsN3, CsNO3 and NiO. The single-crystal structure analysis confirmed that Cs2NiO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I4/mmm (Z = 2, a = 4.4090(3), c = 13.576(3) Å, R1 = 0.036, wR2 = 0.093). Above 45 K, Cs2NiO2 is paramagnetic, and an analysis based on the...
