| complete mitochondrial genome sequence of northeastern sika deer (cervus nippon hortulorum). | the complete mitochondrial genome of the northeastern sika deer, cervus nippon hortulorum, was determined by accurate polymerase chain reaction. the entire genome is 16,434 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rrna genes, 22 trna genes and 1 control region, all of which are arranged in a typical vertebrate manner. the overall base composition of the northeastern sika deer's mitochondrial genome is 33.3% of a, 24.5% of c, 28.7% of t and 13.5% of g. a termination associated sequenc ... | 2016 | 24660928 |
| serum hormone concentrations and ovarian follicular wave emergence in jilin sika deer (cervus nippon hortulorum) after synchronization of estrous cycles. | the study was conducted to investigate the serum hormone concentrations and follicular dynamics present after synchronous treatment (cidr) in female jilin sika deer (n = 15) of estrous cycles. blood samples were collected to analyze the fsh, lh, estradiol and progesterone during the estrous cycles. manual transrectal ultrasonography examination was conducted at least thrice weekly to monitor the follicular wave. ultrasonography showed that follicle development occurred in waves, and most estrous ... | 2015 | 25563157 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of sika deer cervus nippon hortulorum (artiodactyla: cervidae) and phylogenetic studies. | sika deer (cervus nippon temminck 1836) are classified in the order artiodactyla, family cervidae, subfamily cervinae. at present, the phylogenetic studies of c. nippon are problematic. in this study, we first determined and described the complete mitochondrial sequence of the wild c. nippon hortulorum. the complete mitogenome sequence is 16 566 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, two rrna genes, 22 trna genes, a putative control region (cr) and a light-strand replication origin (ol ... | 2016 | 26258510 |
| genetic diversity and population structure of a sichuan sika deer (cervus sichuanicus) population in tiebu nature reserve based on microsatellite variation. | cervus sichuanicus is a species of sika deer (cervus nippon group). to date, research has mainly focused on quantity surveying and behavior studies, with genetic information on this species currently deficient. to provide scientific evidence to assist in the protection of this species, we collected sichuan sika deer fecal samples from the sichuan tiebu nature reserve (tnr) and extracted dna from those samples. microsatellite loci of bovine were used for pcr amplification. after genescan, the gen ... | 2014 | 25465089 |
| wild and farm breeding cervids infections with anaplasma phagocytophilum. | the main goal of our study was to determine the prevalence of anaplasma phagocytophilum infections in wild cervids living in north-eastern part of poland. material used in the study was gathered between the years 2004- 2008. the blood samples from 106 red deer (cervus elaphus), 32 sika deer (cervus nippon hortulorum), 130 fallow deer (dama dama) and 31 roe deer (capreolus capreolus) were collected. dna was isolated using genomic mini ax blood kit (a and a biotechnology). molecular detection of a ... | 2011 | 21739932 |
| molecular cloning and gene expression analysis of ercc6l in sika deer (cervus nippon hortulorum). | one important protein family that functions in nucleotide excision repair (ner) factors is the snf2 family. a newly identified mouse ercc6-like gene, ercc6l (excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group 6-like), has been shown to be another developmentally related member of the snf2 family. | 2011 | 21695076 |
