SNP finding in pig mitochondrial ESTs (2008)

Karsten Scheibye-alsing, Susanna Cirera, Michael J. Gilchrist

SUMMARY: The sino-danish pig genome project produced 685,851 ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags)(Gorodkin et al. 2007), of which 41,499 originates from the mitochondrial genome. In this study the...

Phenotypic and genetic characterization of a novel phenotype in pigs characterized by juvenile hairlessness and age dependent emphysema (2008)

Bruun, Camilla S, Jørgensen, Claus B, Bay, Lene, Cirera, Susanna, Jensen, Henrik E, Leifsson, Páll S, ...

Abstract Background A pig phenotype characterized by juvenile hairlessness, thin skin and age dependent lung emphysema has been discovered in a Danish pig herd. The trait shows autosomal co-dominant...

EST analysis on pig mitochondria reveal novel expression differences between developmental and adult tissues (2007)

Scheibye-Alsing, Karsten, Cirera, Susanna, Gilchrist, Michael J, Fredholm, Merete, Gorodkin, Jan

Abstract Background The mitochondria are involved in many basic functions in cells of vertebrates, and can be considered the power generator of the cell. Though the mitochondria have been extensively...

Identification of a Mutation in the CHAT Gene of Old Danish Pointing Dogs Affected with Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (2007)

Proschowsky, Helle Friis, Flagstad, Annette, Cirera, Susanna, Joergensen, Claus B., Fredholm, Merete

The presence of a recessive inherited muscle disease in Old Danish Pointing Dogs has been well known for years. Comparisons of this disease with myasthenic diseases of other dog breeds and humans...

Selection of reference genes for gene expression studies in pig tissues using SYBR green qPCR (2007)

Nygard, Ann-Britt, Jørgensen, Claus B, Cirera, Susanna, Fredholm, Merete

Abstract Background Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a method for rapid and reliable quantification of mRNA transcription. Internal standards such as reference genes are used to normalise mRNA...

SNP mining porcine ESTs with MAVIANT, a novel tool for SNP evaluation and annotation (2007)

Panitz, Frank, Stengaard, Henrik, Hornshøj, Henrik, Gorodkin, Jan, Hedegaard, Jakob, Cirera, Susanna, ...

Motivation: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) analysis is an important means to study genetic variation. A fast and cost-efficient approach to identify large numbers of novel candidates is the...

Porcine transcriptome analysis based on 97 non-normalized cDNA libraries and assembly of 1,021,891 expressed sequence tags (2007)

Gorodkin, Jan, Cirera, Susanna, Hedegaard, Jakob, Gilchrist, Michael J, Panitz, Frank, Jørgensen, Claus, ...

Background Knowledge of the structure of gene expression is essential for mammalian transcriptomics research. We analyzed a collection of more than one million porcine expressed sequence tags (ESTs),...
