(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The purpose of this study was to ascertain if carriers of lethal recessive genetic disorders: citrullinemia, jersey haplotype1 (JH1) and congenital muscular dystonia 1 (CMD 1) were associated with positive or negative ...
Estimating the frequency of genomic polymorphisms associated with meat quality in Irish beef cattle
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
The calpain (CAPN) and calpastatin (CAST) genes play significant
roles in meat tenderness (Casas et al., 2005). Identification and
estimation of the frequency of DNA mutations involved in meat
tenderness would not only ...

Integrative genomics of the mammalian alveolar macrophage response to intraceullular mycobacteria
(BMC, 2021)
Bovine TB (bTB), caused by infection with Mycobacterium bovis, is a major endemic disease affecting
global cattle production. The key innate immune cell that first encounters the pathogen is the alveolar
macrophage, ...
Alveolar macrophage chromatic is modified to orchestrate host response to Mycobacterium bovis infection.
(Frontiers, 2019-02-07)
Bovine tuberculosis is caused by infection with Mycobacteriumbovis, which can also cause
disease in a range of other mammals, including humans. Alveolar macrophages are the key
immune effector cells that first encounter ...
