Abstract:
... The quail is a valuable farm and laboratory animal. Yet molecular information about this species remains scarce. We present here the first genetic linkage map of the Japanese quail. This comprehensive map is based solely on amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. These markers were developed and genotyped in an F2 progeny from a cross between two lines of quail differing in stress r ...

Abstract:
... It was hypothesized that polychlorinated diphenyl sulfides (PCDPSs) can potentially interact with an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and thereby cause adverse effects in wildlife like birds. A recently developed avian AHR1-luciferase report gene (LRG) assay was used to assess the interaction between avian AHR1 and 18 PCDPSs and to compare the interspecies sensitivity among chicken, ring-necked phe ...

Abstract:
... To assess the potential of quail as an intermediate host of avian influenza, we tested the influenza A/Mallard/Potsdam/178-4/83 (H2N2) virus to determine whether through adaptation a mallard strain can replicate and transmit in quail, as well as other terrestrial birds. After five serial passages of lung homogenate a virus arose that replicated and transmitted directly to contact cage mates. To te ...

Primers were synthesized according to the nucleotide sequence of chicken apo A-1, and the identity of apo A-1 cDNA was confirmed by comparing with the N-terminal amino acid sequence. The open reading frame of apo A-1 cDNA consists of 795 nucleotides, and it is capable of coding a polypeptid ...

LUMA depends on digestion of DNA with methyl‐sensitive and methyl‐insensitive restriction enzymes, followed by pyrosequencing. Until recently, LUMA has been principally used for biomedical research. Here, we use chickens as a model to investigate sample quality issues relating to LUMA and then apply the method to ecological ...
