Journal ArticleDOI

Divergence, convergence, and the ancestry of feral populations in the domestic rock pigeon

TL;DR: A large, geographically diverse sample of 361 individuals from 70 domestic pigeon breeds and two free-living populations were used to determine genetic relationships within this species and found unexpected relationships among phenotypically divergent breeds as well as convergent evolution of derived traits among several breed groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association Between Cardiovascular Risk Profiles and the Presence and Extent of Different Types of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque as Detected by Multidetector Computed Tomography

TL;DR: The data suggest that only a small proportion of individuals have exclusively NCAP and indicate that the relation ofNCAP and CAP changes with age, among individual risk factors, hyperlipidemia and family history of CAD may be associated with the extent of NCAP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy of pre-scan beta-blockade and impact of heart rate on image quality in patients undergoing coronary multidetector computed tomography angiography.

TL;DR: Overall, efficacy of beta-blocker administration to reach target HR is limited and improvements in CT scanner temporal resolution are mandatory to achieve consistently high image quality independent of HR and beta- blocker administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular shifts in limb identity underlie development of feathered feet in two domestic avian species

TL;DR: The results show how changes in expression of regional patterning genes can generate localized changes in organ fate and morphology, and provide viable molecular mechanisms for diversity in hindlimb scale and feather distribution.
