  Laboratory Animals: Usages in Genetic Research

  By Manoj Kumar, Poonam Ratwan, Vikas Vohra

  Abstract: Laboratory animals are one on which advanced research is conducted and validated in labs for better understanding the natural phenomenon of biological system, genetics and disease models. Laboratory animals include mice, rat, hamster, guinea pig, gerbil, monkey etc. Lab animals play a vital role in biomedical research and genetic studies as they share common physiology and genetics, which resemble to a large extent with humans and thus make them excellent …

  Significance of TE Domain and Genetic Variations in FASN Gene in Dairy Animals

  By Manoj Kumar, Poonam Ratwan, Uday Kannegundla, Vikas Vohra

  Abstract: The interest in the bovine fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene has increased during the last few years. FASN is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes de novo biosynthesis of long-chain saturated fatty acid, and alteration of this enzyme may affect economic traits including fatty acid composition. FASN is involved in fat metabolism and is an important candidate gene affecting fat composition of milk because of its central role in de-novo lipogenesis …
