PROTEOMICS IN NON-HUMAN PRIMATES: UTILIZING RNA-SEQ DATA TO IMPROVE PROTEIN IDENTIFICATION BY MASS SPECTROMETRY IN VERVET MONKEYS

Proteomics in non-human primates: utilizing RNA-Seq data to improve protein identification by mass spectrometry in vervet monkeys

Abstract Background Shotgun proteomics utilizes a database search strategy to compare Accessories detected mass spectra to a library of theoretical spectra derived from reference genome information.As such, the robustness of proteomics results is contingent upon the completeness and accuracy of the gene annotation in the reference genome.For animal

Why Do Hens Pile? Hypothesizing the Causes and Consequences

Piling is a behavior in laying hens whereby individuals aggregate in larger densities than would be normally expected.When piling behavior leads to mortalities it is known as smothering and its frequent but unpredictable occurrence is a major concern for many egg producers.There are generally considered to be three types of piling: panic, nest box
