DEVELOPMENT OF A SET OF MICROSATELLITE MARKERS TO INVESTIGATE SEXUALLY ANTAGONISTIC SELECTION IN THE INVASIVE ANT NYLANDERIA FULVA

Development of a Set of Microsatellite Markers to Investigate Sexually Antagonistic Selection in the Invasive Ant Nylanderia fulva

Sexually antagonistic selection (SAS) occurs when distinct alleles are differentially selected in each sex.In the invasive tawny crazy ant, Nylanderia fulva, a genomic region is under SAS, while the rest of the genome is randomly selected in males and females.In this study, we designed a suite of 15 microsatellite markers to study the origin and ev

Transcriptomics analysis and hormonal changes of male and female neonatal rats treated chronically with a low dose of acrylamide in their drinking water

Acrylamide is known to produce follicular cell tumors of the thyroid in rats.RccHan Wistar rats were exposed in utero to a carcinogenic dose of acrylamide (3 mg/Kg bw/day) from gestation day 6 to delivery and then through their drinking water to postnatal day 35.In order to identify potential mechanisms of carcinogenesis in the thyroid glands, we u
