A single nucleotide polymorphism in the bovine beta-casein promoter region across different bovine breeds
(Cambridge Journals, 2006-02-14)
The bovine β-casein (CSN2) gene has been shown to span a region of 8·5 kb, containing nine exons and eight intervening introns (Bonsing et al. 1988; Martin et al. 2002). The exons range in size from 24 to 498 bp; the ...
A note on the evaluation of a beta-casein variant in bovine breeds by allele-specific PCR and relevance to beta-casomorphin
(Teagasc; De Gruyter Open, 2008)
Two genetic variants of the bovine beta-casein gene (A(1) and B) encode a histidine residue at codon 67, resulting in potential liberation of a bioactive peptide, beta-casomorphin, upon digestion. An allele-specific PCR ...
Isolation and characterization of the bovine Stearoyl-CoAdesaturase promoter and analysis of polymorphisms in the promoter region in dairy cows
(Springer, 2005-03)
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in milk arises through microbial biohydrogenation of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the rumen, and by the action of mammary Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (Scd). A large variation ...
Bovine kappa-casein gene promoter haplotypes with potential implications for milk protein expression
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2007-05-25)
Genetic analysis of the kappa-casein gene (CSN3) promoter regions of 42 cattle representing 9 different breeds revealed that 2 distinct haplotypes (A and B) exist at this locus, differing from each other by single base ...
Youth mentoring and the parent-young person relationship: considerations for research and practice.
(The National Youth Agency, 2008)
Over recent years, youth mentoring has become increasingly popular as an intervention for young people deemed to be in need of support. There is a need, however, to pay attention to the potential impact of mentoring on ...
Like a rolling stone: the mobility of maerl (corallinaceae) and the neutrality of the associated assemblages.
(Ecological Society of America, 2008)
Beds of non-attached coralline algae (maerl or rhodoliths) are widespread and considered relatively species rich. This habitat is generally found in areas where there is chronic physical disturbance such that maerl thalli ...
Gene therapy in transplantation: Toward clinical trials
(Thompson, 2009)
The genetic modification of organs or cells is an attractive approach to protect allogeneic transplants from acute rejection and other complications. The transplant setting offers a unique opportunity to utilise ex vivo ...
Developing Children's Participation: Lessons from a Participatory IT Project
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007)
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, advances in the sociology of childhood and the consumer rights movement have placed the spotlight on children¿s rights in society, challenging those working with children to ...
The role of business process redesign in creating e-government in Ireland
(Emerald, 2006)
The growth and popularity of e-commerce has both challenged and enabled public sector
organizations to redefine their levels of service. E-government provides unparalleled
opportunities for governments to streamline ...
Linking Local and Global Feminist Advocacy: Framing Women's Rights as Human Rights in the Republic of Ireland
(Elsevier, 2007)
This article argues that global-level feminist advocacy in the 1990s has had a significant impact within feminist advocacy in the Republic of Ireland. An important manifestation of this is the growing engagement of groups ...
