Spiders, scorpions, and cone snails are remarkable for the extent and diversity of gene-encoded
peptide neurotoxins that are expressed in their venom glands. These toxins are …

A cattle genetic linkage map was constructed which covers more than 95 percent of the
bovine genome at medium density. Seven hundred and forty six DNA polymorphisms were …

A medium-density linkage map of the ovine genome has been developed. Marker data for 550
new loci were generated and merged with the previous sheep linkage map. The new map …

ω-Conotoxins selective for N-type calcium channels are useful in the management of severe
pain. In an attempt to expand the therapeutic potential of this class, four new ω-conotoxins (…

There are numerous issues surrounding the provision of assessment-related feedback in
Higher Education, which in recent years have been highlighted in the National Student Survey. …

… MrVIB at 10 μM completely inhibited the slowly inactivating TTX-R Na + current, although
leaving the persistent TTX-R Na + current intact. Subtraction of the Na + currents recorded in …

The presence or absence of horns in Bos taurus is thought to be under the genetic control of
the autosomal polled locus, characterized by two alleles: P dominant over p, and causing …

The crisis of declining biodiversity 1 exceeds our current ability to monitor changes in
ecosystems. Rapid terrestrial biomonitoring approaches are essential to quantify the causes and …

The growth hormone gene locus (GH) of cattle and sheep was mapped to a chromosomal
region in each species by using in situ hybridization. The probe employed was an 830-bp …

Swamp and river buffalo mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was sequenced for 303 bp of the
cytochrome b gene for 54 animals from 14 populations, and for 158 bp of the D‐loop region for …
