The satellite I DNAs of domestic goat (Capra hircus) and domestic sheep (Ovis aries) have been studied using molecular hybridisation and restriction enzyme analysis. Both satellite DNAs are composed of repeat units of 820 base pairs in length, but their restriction maps, although similar, differ in certain respects. Thus the majority of sheep satellite I repeat units have two EcoRI sites and on...

SAN DIEGO, CA – March 9, 2017 – Bionano Genomics®, Inc., a company focused on genome structure analysis, today highlighted results from a study demonstrating how combining genomic sequencing and mapping technologies, including Bionano’s next-generation mapping (NGM), produced the most continuous de novo mammalian assembly to date, of the domestic goat (Capra hircus). The paper, “Singlemolecule ...

The respiratory tract contains numerous peptides secreted from special pulmonary epithelial cells whichare called endocrine cells. The function of neuroendocrine cells is modulated by amines. Serotonin has strong vasomotor and bronchomotor effects in the airway mucosa. The objective of this study was to determine presence and distribution of serotonin-positive endocrine cells in respiratory tra...

Due to its rarity and unique biological traits, as well as its growing financial value, milk of dairy Greek small ruminants is continuously attracting interest from both the scientific community and industry. For the construction of the present dataset, cutting-edge proteomics methodologies were employed, in order to investigate and characterize, for the first time, the milk whey proteome from ...

BACKGROUND Bronchopneumonia is a population limiting disease of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) that has been associated with contact with domestic Caprinae. The disease is polymicrobial but is initiated by Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae, which is commonly carried by both domestic sheep (O. aries) and goats (Capra aegagrus hircus). However, while previous bighorn sheep comingling studies with domesti...

By complement fixation test 230 blood samples from goats and he goats were examined for presence of antibodies against Brucella ovis. 134 blood samples were from goats (23 of them were from slipping goats) and 96from he goats. The animals come from private farms in the Plovdiv and Pazardzhik regions (Southern Bulgaria). 10.87% of all tested blood samples contain antibodies against Brucella ovis...
