Histone chaperones play critical roles in regulated structural transitions of chromatin in eukaryotic cells that involve nucleosome disassembly and reassembly. The histone chaperone FACT is a heterodimeric complex consisting in plants and metazoa of SSRP1/SPT16 and is involved in dynamic nucleosome...

Advances in genomic technologies have decreased costs associated with research and led to a better understanding of the impact of genetic variations on livestock production traits. In this context, the collection of abundant, accurate phenotypic data has often become the limiting factor in the...

The surrogates have functional testes but do not have specialised stem cells that are required to produce sperm containing their own genetic...

Many species in the genera Coilia and Sardinella are similar in morphology, so dealing with identification of these species is very difficult and the separation of taxa has been mainly on the basis of fresh colouration. C. dussumieri and S. gibbosa were confirmed by conventional taxonomic methods...
