Abstract

Fatty acid synthase and Acetyl-CoA carboxylase are both key enzymes of lipogenesis and may play a crucial role in the weight variability of abdominal adipose tissue in the growing chicken. They are encoded by the FASN and ACACA genes, located on human Chromosome (Chr) 17q25 and on Chr 17q12 or 17q21 respectively, a large region of conserved synteny among mammals. We have localized the homologous chicken genes FASN and ACACA coding for these enzymes, by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis on different linkage groups of the Compton and East Lansing consensus genetic maps and by FISH on two different chicken microchromosomes. Although synteny is not conserved between these two genes, our results revealed linkage in chicken between FASN and NDPK (nucleoside diphosphate kinase), a homolog to the human NME1 and NME2 genes (non-metastatic cell proteins 1 and 2), both located on human Chr 17q21.3, and also between FASN and H3F3B (H3 histone family 3B), located on human Chr 17q25. The analysis of mapping data from the literature for other chicken and mammalian genes indicates rearrangements have occurred in this region in the mammalian lineage since the mammalian and avian radiation.

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.
