| faunistic study of the rodents of north khorasan province, north east of iran, 2011-2013. | rodents are one of the most important hosts for some zoonotic diseases and also act as a reservoir of some ectoparasites and endoparasites. they cause damage to the farms and inflict public health. the aim of this study was to investigate the faunal composition of rodent in north khorasan province, northeast of iran. | 2018 | 30123806 |
| sox9 gene regulation and the loss of the xy/xx sex-determining mechanism in the mole vole ellobius lutescens. | in most mammals, the y chromosomal sry gene initiates testis formation within the bipotential gonad, resulting in male development. sry is a transcription factor and together with sf1 it directly up-regulates the expression of the pivotal sex-determining gene sox9 via a 1.3-kb cis-regulatory element (tesco) which contains an evolutionarily conserved region (ecr) of 180 bp. remarkably, several rodent species appear to determine sex in the absence of sry and a y chromosome, including the mole vole ... | 2012 | 22215485 |
