Journal ArticleDOI
A simple and universal method for molecular sexing of non-ratite birds
TL;DR: A universal method for molecular sexing of non-ratite birds which is based on the detection of a constant size difference between CHD1W andCHD1Z introns is described, successfully sexing 47 of the species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Male-driven evolution of DNA sequences in birds.
TL;DR: The molecular evolution of the gene CHD, which is present on the Z and W sex chromosomes of birds, appears to be male driven—a situation that supports a neutral model of molecular evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The avian egg as a test system for endocrine disrupters: effects of diethylstilbestrol and ethynylestradiol on sex organ develo
TL;DR: Feminization of the left testis in males proved to be the most sensitive endpoint for estrogenic activity of xenobiotics in Japanese quail embryos, and the quail egg is proposed as a simple in vivo test system for estrogenIC compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a mutation in the low density lipoprotein receptor gene associated with recessive familial hypercholesterolemia in swine
Judith Hasler-Rapacz,Hans Ellegren,Anna-Karin Fridolfsson,Brian W. Kirkpatrick,Scott M. Kirk,Leif Andersson,Jan Rapacz +6 more
TL;DR: Genetic dissection of polygenic lipid and lipoprotein disorders in swine led to the isolation of a monogenic subphenotype (FH-r), that is inherited in the recessive (r) manner, and LDLR is suggested as the prime candidate gene for FH-r.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microsatellite Markers for Paternity Testing in the Willow Warbler Phylloscopus Trochilus: High Frequency of Extra‐Pair Young in an Island Population
TL;DR: A cross-species study showed that the willow warbler microsatellite markers can also be used in other European passerines as well as distantly related species, such as the Australian magpie Gymnorhina tibicen.
