Positive Selection and Increased Antiviral Activity Associated with the PARP-Containing Isoform of Human Zinc-Finger Antiviral Protein (2008)

Julie A. Kerns, Michael Emerman, Harmit S. Malik

Intrinsic immunity relies on specific recognition of viral epitopes to mount a cell-autonomous defense against viral infections. Viral recognition determinants in intrinsic immunity genes are...

Adaptive Evolution and Antiviral Activity of the Conserved Mammalian Cytidine Deaminase APOBEC3H

OhAinle, Molly, Kerns, Julie A., Malik, Harmit S., Emerman, Michael

The APOBEC3 genes encode cytidine deaminases that act as components of an intrinsic immune defense that have potent activity against a variety of retroelements. This family of genes has undergone a...

Linkage and Segregation Analysis of Black and Brindle Coat Color in Domestic Dogs

Kerns, Julie A., Cargill, Edward J., Clark, Leigh Anne, Candille, Sophie I., Berryere, Tom G., Olivier, Michael, ...

Mutations of pigment type switching have provided basic insight into melanocortin physiology and evolutionary adaptation. In all vertebrates that have been studied to date, two key genes, Agouti and...
