Mapping of Genetic Factors That Elicit Intermale Aggressive Behavior on Mouse Chromosome 15: Intruder Effects and the Complex Genetic Basis.

Despite high estimates of the heritability of aggressiveness, the genetic basis for individual differences in aggression remains unclear.Previously, we Pouch showed that the wild-derived mouse strain MSM/Ms (MSM) exhibits highly aggressive behaviors, and identified chromosome 15 (Chr 15) as the location of one of the genetic factors behind this esc

In Situ Tagged nsp15 Reveals Interactions with Coronavirus Replication/Transcription Complex-Associated Proteins

ABSTRACT Coronavirus Balloons Latex (CoV) replication and transcription are carried out in close proximity to restructured endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes in replication/transcription complexes (RTC).Many of the CoV nonstructural proteins (nsps) are required for RTC function; however, not all of their functions are known.nsp15 contains an endo

Feeding habits of Bigeye Houndshark, Iago omanensis (Elasmobranchii; Triakidae); a typical deep water shark from the Gulf of Oman

In this study, the feeding habits of Bigeye Houndshark, Iago omanensis, a typical deep water shark, were examined in the Gulf of Oman by analyzing of stomach contents.In addition, the effects of sex and seasons (spring and summer) on its feeding habits were evaluated.Bigeye Houndshark diet consists of mostly teleost fishes, and to a lower extent on
