Transcriptome profiling of the small intestinal epithelium in germfree versus conventional piglets (2007)

Chowdhury, Shankar R, King, Dale E, Willing, Benjamin P, Band, Mark R, Beever, Jonathan E, Lane, Adrienne B, ...

Abstract Background To gain insight into host-microbe interactions in a piglet model, a functional genomics approach was used to address the working hypothesis that transcriptionally regulated genes...

Discovery and characterization of 91 novel transcripts expressed in cattle placenta (2007)

Kumar, Charu G, Larson, Joshua H, Band, Mark R, Lewin, Harris A

Abstract Background Among the eutherian mammals, placental architecture varies to a greater extent than any other tissue. The diversity of placental types, even within a single mammalian order...

Dosage compensation is less effective in birds than in mammals (2007)

Itoh, Yuichiro, Melamed, Esther, Yang, Xia, Kampf, Kathy, Wang, Susanna, Yehya, Nadir, ...

Abstract Background In animals with heteromorphic sex chromosomes, dosage compensation of sex-chromosome genes is thought to be critical for species survival. Diverse molecular mechanisms have...

Comparative organization of cattle chromosome 5 revealed by comparative mapping by annotation and sequence similarity and radiation hybrid mapping

Ozawa, Akihito, Band, Mark R., Larson, Joshua H., Donovan, Jena, Green, Cheryl A., Womack, James E., ...

A whole genome cattle-hamster radiation hybrid cell panel was used to construct a map of 54 markers located on bovine chromosome 5 (BTA5). Of the 54 markers, 34 are microsatellites selected from the...

Annotated Expressed Sequence Tags and cDNA Microarrays for Studies of Brain and Behavior in the Honey Bee

Whitfield, Charles W., Band, Mark R., Bonaldo, Maria F., Kumar, Charu G., Liu, Lei, Pardinas, Jose R., ...

To accelerate the molecular analysis of behavior in the honey bee (Apis mellifera), we created expressed sequence tag (EST) and cDNA microarray resources for the bee brain. Over 20,000 cDNA clones...

An Ordered Comparative Map of the Cattle and Human Genomes

Band, Mark R., Larson, Joshua H., Rebeiz, Mark, Green, Cheryl A., Heyen, D. Wayne, Donovan, Jena, ...

A cattle–human whole-genome comparative map was constructed using parallel radiation hybrid (RH) mapping in conjunction with EST sequencing, database mining for unmapped cattle genes, and a...

A 1463 Gene Cattle–Human Comparative Map With Anchor Points Defined by Human Genome Sequence Coordinates

Everts-van Der Wind, Annelie, Kata, Srinivas R., Band, Mark R., Rebeiz, Mark, Larkin, Denis M., Everts, Robin E., ...

A second-generation 5000 rad radiation hybrid (RH) map of the cattle genome was constructed primarily using cattle ESTs that were targeted to gaps in the existing cattle–human comparative map, as...

Identification of a missense mutation in the bovine ABCG2 gene with a major effect on the QTL on chromosome 6 affecting milk yield and composition in Holstein cattle

Cohen-Zinder, Miri, Seroussi, Eyal, Larkin, Denis M., Loor, Juan J., Wind, Annelie Everts-van Der, Lee, Jun-Heon, ...

We previously localized a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 6 affecting milk fat and protein concentration to a 4-cM confidence interval, centered on the microsatellite BM143. We...
