Abstract

The first quantitative trait locus (QTL) in pigs, FAT1, was found on Chromosome 4 (SSC4) using a Wild Boar intercross. Further mapping has refined the FAT1 QTL to a region with conserved synteny to both human Chromosomes 1 and 8. To both improve the comparative map of the entire SSC4 and to define the specific human chromosome region with conserved synteny to FAT1, we have now mapped 103 loci to pig Chromosome 4 using a combination of radiation hybrid and linkage mapping. The physical data and linkage analysis results are in very good agreement. Comparative analysis revealed that gene order is very well conserved across SSC4 compared to both HSA1 and HSA8. The breakpoint in conserved synteny was refined to an area of about 23 cR on the q arm of SSC4 corresponding to a genetic distance of less than 0.5 cM. Localizations of the centromeres do not seem to have been conserved between the two species. No remnants of the HSA1 centromere were detected on the corresponding region on SSC4 and traces from the centromeric region of SSC4 cannot clearly be revealed on the homologous region on HSA8. This refined SSC4 map and the comparative analysis will be a great aid in the search for the genes underlying the FAT1 locus.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
