Determination of testicular estrogen receptor alpha expression of male chickens (Gallus domesticus) with age

  • Genetics
  • Journal Article
Estrogen activity, a central component of reproductive growth, is regulated by the receptor proteins, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), and ER beta (ERβ) in chickens as

Effect of exogenous estrogen treatment on gonadal morphology, morphometry and estrogen receptor alpha mRNA expression in gonads of male chickens (Gallus domesticus)

  • Genetics
  • Journal Article
The current study was designed to investigate the post-hatching ERα expression in left gonads of male chickens along with gonadal morphology when the exogenous estradiol

Literature Review for Identifying the Research Gaps on Taxonomy, Molecular Systematics and Conservation Status of Endemic Skink Genus Lankascincus (Squamata: Scincidae)

Initial validation of zygosity determination questionnaire for Sri Lankan twins using STR analysis of 15 unlinked loci and the gender-determining marker amelogenin

  • Genetics
  • Abstract
Zygosity determination is an essential component in behavioural genetics which uses twins for research. Although genetic markers are considered gold-standard, questionnaire based methods are preferred in

Determination of testicular estrogen receptor α expression of male chickens (Gallus Domesticus) with age

  • Genetics
