| partial cloning of cyp2c23a genes and hepatic protein expression in eight representative avian species. | large interspecies differences in avian xenobiotic metabolism have been revealed by microsome-based studies, but specific enzyme isoforms in different bird species have not yet been compared. we have previously shown that cyp2c23 genes are the most induced cyp isoforms in chicken liver. in this study, we collected partial cyp2c23a gene sequences from eight avian species (ostrich, blue-eared pheasant, snowy owl, great-horned owl, chilean flamingo, peregrin falcon, humboldt penguin, and black-crow ... | 2015 | 25229839 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of the blue eared pheasant, crossoptilon auritum (galliformes: phasianidae). | the circular mitochondrial genome of crossoptilon auritum is 16,687 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (pcgs), 2 ribosomal rna genes, 22 transfer rna (trna) genes, and a putative control region. all of the genes encoded on the h-strand, except for one pcg (nad6) and eight trna genes (trna(gln), trna (ala), trna (asn), trna(cys), trna(tyr), trna(ser)((ucn)), trna(pro), and trna(glu)), as found in many other birds' mitochondrial genomes. all of these pcgs are initiated with atg, exce ... | 2016 | 24739003 |
| quaternary climate and environmental changes have shaped genetic differentiation in a chinese pheasant endemic to the eastern margin of the qinghai-tibetan plateau. | the geological complexity generated by the uplift of the qinghai-tibetan plateau and the resulting habitat heterogeneity have functioned together with climatic oscillations in the quaternary to have a profound impact on the patterns of genetic diversity and demography of the fauna in this region. to understand the effect of the climatic and environmental shifts of the quaternary on intraspecific genetic patterns and evolutionary history, we investigated the population genetic structure of the bl ... | 2013 | 23280367 |
| assessment of genetic diversity in chinese eared pheasant using fluorescent-aflp markers. | the eared pheasant consists of four species: white eared pheasant (crossoptilon crossoptilon), tibetan eared pheasant (crossoptilon harmani), blue eared pheasant (crossoptilon auritum), and brown eared pheasant (crossoptilon mantchuricum). these species are found only in china, and are also on the list of the world's threatened species. in this paper, 74 individuals from the four eared pheasant species were assessed for population genetic diversity by means of fluorescent-aflp markers. a total o ... | 2010 | 20595068 |
| genomic consequences of long-term population decline in brown eared pheasant. | population genetic theory and empirical evidence indicate that deleterious alleles can be purged in small populations. however, this viewpoint remains controversial. it is unclear whether natural selection is powerful enough to purge deleterious mutations when wild populations continue to decline. pheasants are terrestrial birds facing a long-term risk of extinction as a result of anthropogenic perturbations and exploitation. nevertheless, there are scant genomics resources available for conserv ... | 2020 | 32853368 |
