Behavioral and physiological phenotype of the viable yellow mouse (AVY/a)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Epigenetics is the study of how heritable phenotypes are transmitted without changes being made to the DNA sequence. One of the best characterized animal models for epigenetics is the viable yellow (Avy) mouse. These animals ... -

Interaction of transcription factors in regulation of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) alpha subunit gene promoter activity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Chorionic Gonadotropin (CG), a glycoprotein hormone, is considered as a primary signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy in higher primates, including humans. CG is a heterodimer, consisting of an alpha subunit (CGA) ... -
