A new scenario for the evolutionary origin of hair, feather, and avian scales.: Origin of hair, feather and avian scales

Known NANOG orthologues were retrieved from public repositories (Genbank and Ensembl) and BLAST (tblastn) searches were performed against available genomes and/or transcriptomes

This washing method was tested on spiked and nonspiked hair samples and compared with other existing washing methods after the validation of the analytical procedure (digestion and

Screening for additional sites reflecting duplication history To evaluate whether sites other than the 16 scattered across the 5′-end of MHCIIB exon 3 reflect duplication history

This restricted distribution of the HCA observed on the apical surface of auditory hair cells is most readily detected in the distal regions of the basilar papilla where

Particles appear to be evenly distributed up the length of the lagena macular hair cell bundle but, in the distal region of the basilar papilla, decrease in density with

Selected feathers from 63 infested birds out of the 196 examined individuals (Table 1), representing 26 avian species of 16 families and 4 orders, bore various feather mite species..

It is interesting to note that the two main hypotheses regarding the origin of flight are based on different interpretations of the pelvic system functions (i.e. the pelvis
