GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING IN OVARIES AND ASSOCIATION ANALYSES REVEAL HEP21 AS A CANDIDATE GENE FOR SEXUAL MATURITY IN CHICKENS

Gene Expression Profiling in Ovaries and Association Analyses Reveal HEP21 as a Candidate Gene for Sexual Maturity in Chickens

The age of onset of sexual maturity is an important reproductive trait in chickens.In this study, we explored candidate genes associated with sexual maturity and ovary development in chickens.We performed DGE RNA-sequencing analyses of ovaries of pre-laying (P-F-O1, L-F-O1) and laying (P-F-O2, L-F-O2) hens of two sub-breeds of Ningdu Yellow chicken

In vitro generation of neuromesodermal progenitors reveals distinct roles for wnt signalling in the specification of spinal cord and paraxial mesoderm identity.

Cells of the spinal cord and somites arise from shared, dual-fated precursors, located towards the posterior of the elongating embryo.Here we show that these Windsurfing Harnesses neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) can readily be generated in vitro from mouse and human pluripotent stem cells by activating Wnt and Fgf signalling, timed to emulate in

Luminal-contact-inhibition of epithelial basal stem cell multipotency in prostate organogenesis and homeostasis

Prostate epithelial basal cells are highly plastic in their luminal differentiation capability.Basal stem cells actively Shower Gel produce luminal cells during organogenesis, but become restricted in the adult prostate unless receiving oncogenic or inflammatory stimuli.Given that the number of luminal cells increases relative to basal cells throug

A quantitative identification method based on CWT and CNN for external and inner broken wires of steel wire ropes

The detection of broken wires in steel wire ropes is of great significance for the production safety.However, the existing identification techniques mainly focus on the external broken wires problem.Here, the artificial feature extraction is one of the most important method, while only the prior knowledge of the artificial feature extraction method
