Chromosomal Localization of the Major Histocompatibility (B) Complex (MHC) and Its Expression in Chickens Aneuploid for the Major Histocompatibility Complex/Ribosomal Deoxyribonucleic Acid Microchromosome
TLDR
Unequal recombinational events may be promoted in the meiotic process in trisomic chickens and enhanced MHC-encoded cell surface products may influence the progression of B-cell differentiation and cell population dynamics in the developing bursa of Fabricius.About:

Nutritional modulation of immune function in broilers.
TL;DR: This review is concerned with nutritional modulation of immunity in broilers that offers insight for nutritionists and researchers to implement nutritional regimen to reduce the severity of disease and to test or validate nutritional regimens that heighten immunity.

A preliminary linkage map of the chicken genome.
Nat Bumstead,Jan Palyga +1 more
TL;DR: Backcross progeny from a cross between two inbred lines of chickens to construct a linkage map of the chicken will be of use in locating genes affecting disease resistance, but also illustrates the relative ease with which such maps for the chicken can be constructed.

International System for Standardized Avian Karyotypes (ISSAK): standardized banded karyotypes of the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus)
TL;DR: An international committee met to develop a karyotype for the eight largest chromosomes and the Z and W chromosomes of the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) and this map is presented.

Chicken MHC Molecules, Disease Resistance and the Evolutionary Origin of Birds
TL;DR: It is suggested that the evolutionary origin of birds has been strongly influenced by the emergence of microchromosomes, and the peptide motifs for the dominant class I molecules from a number of chicken MHC haplotypes may explain some disease associations quite simply.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chicken major histocompatibility complex and disease
TL;DR: The chicken major histocompatibility complex, or B complex, consists of several clusters of highly polymorphic genes, some of which are associated with disease resistance, and shows associations with response to diseases as diverse as virally induced neoplasia, bacterial, parasitic and auto-immune diseases.

Visualization of nucleolar organizer regions im mammalian chromosomes using silver staining
TL;DR: The available cytochemical data suggest that the Ag-AS reaction stains chromosomal proteins at the NOR rather than the rDNA itself, and this was critically demonstrated by Ag- AS staining of the nucleolus organizer regions in karyotypes of the same species and cell lines used for locating the ribosomal cistrons by DNA/RNA in situ hybridization.

Regulation of the Synthesis of Ribosomes and Ribosomal Components
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the regulation of Ribosomal Protein Genes and their Transcription in the context of ribosomal RNA regulation.

Unequal meiotic recombination within tandem arrays of yeast ribosomal DNA genes.
TL;DR: Recombinant DNA procedures and the yeast transformation technique were used to insert the yeast gene LEU 2 (coding for beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase) into the tandem array of ribosomal DNA genes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of human and suppression of mouse nucleolus organizer activity in mouse-human somatic cell hybrids.
TL;DR: In these mouse-human hybrids, unlike those that lose human chromosomes, only humanucleolus organizer activity is expressed, and mouse nucleolus organizers activity is suppressed.
