Nucleotide sequence, genomic organization and evolution of a major repetitive DNA family in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus/hornorum )
(1989)
A highly repetitive DNA sequence from tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus/hornorum ) has been cloned and sequenced. It is a tandemly arrayed sequence of 237 bp and constitutes 7% of the fish genome. The copy number of the ...
Can SINEs: A family of tRNA-derived retroposons specific to the superfamily canoidea
(1994)
A repetitive element of approximately 200 bp was cloned from harbour seal (Phoca vitulina concolour) genomic DNA. The sequence of the element revealed putative RNA polymerase III control boxes, a poly A tail and direct ...
Reduced Retinal Function in the Absence of Na(v)1.6
(2012-02)
Background: Mice with a function-blocking mutation in the Scn8a gene that encodes
Na(v)1.6, a voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) isoform normally found in several types
of retinal neurons, have previously been found to ...
Microsatellite and allozyme analyses reveal few genetic differences among spatially distinct aggregations of geoduck clams (Panopea abrupta, Conrad 1849)
(2004-12)
The genetic population structure of geoduck clams (Panopea abrupta) in inland waters of
Washington may affect fishery management and aquacultural practices involving this species. To
investigate genetic differentiation ...

The dystroglycan complex is necessary for stabilization of acetylcholine receptor clusters at neuromuscular junctions and formation of the synaptic basement membrane
(2001-02)
The dystrophin-associated protein (DAP) complex spans the sarcolemmal membrane linking
the cytoskeleton to the basement membrane surrounding each myofiber. Defects in the DAP
complex have been linked previously to a ...
Mechanisms Influencing the Timing and Success of Reproductive Migration in a Capital Breeding Semelparous Fish Species, the Sockeye Salmon
(University of Chicago Press, P.O. Box 37005 Chicago IL 60637 USA,
[mailto:help@press.uchicago.edu], [URL:http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/], 2009)
Two populations of homing sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka; Adams and Chilko) were intercepted
in the marine approaches around the northern and southern ends of Vancouver Island (British
Columbia, Canada) en route to ...
Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis: A new method of estimating predator diets
(2004-05)
Accurate estimates of the diets of predators are required in many areas of ecology, but for many
species current methods are imprecise, limited to the last meal, and often biased. The diversity of
fatty acids and their ...
Population-specific gene expression responses to hybridization between farm and wild Atlantic salmon
(2009-11)
Because of intrinsic differences in their genetic architectures, wild populations invaded by
domesticated individuals could experience population-specific consequences following introgression
by genetic material of ...
Individual variation in Atlantic salmon fertilization success: Implications for effective population size
(2002-02)
Mating structure can influence the variance in individual reproductive success, which in turn
has important implications for a population's effective size. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
males are characterized by alternative ...
