She said that although there were few studies on exotic species, studies of the transportation of other species such as farm animals could be applied.
While the majority of PXR studies have been on mammalian species, studies of chicken PXR (also known as chicken X receptor, CXR) show similar transcriptional targets [ 23, 24].
Despite the importance of Phytophthora species, studies of their molecular diversity have been limited by the power of the genetic markers and difficulties in comparing results among laboratories.
Quercus, Eucalyptus, Erythrina and Acacia all have the ability to cross readily, but since it requires considerable effort to understand the genetic diversity of even a single species, studies of genetic diversity and the ability to form hybrids have been conducted for only a small group of taxa, including some species of Salix, Populus and Erythrina (C. Hughes, personal communication, 2002).
We have generated a transgenic mouse model which harbors humanized type I interferon receptors and allows the cross-species study of human type I interferons (Hu-IFN-Is) in mice.
These goals have motivated our cross-species study of human pathogenic GCGS from Vellore, India, a region with a high incidence of such infections.
We performed a 22-species study of Meis/ hth genes, intron-rich homeodomain-containing transcription factors involved in a wide range of developmental processes.
With this theory in mind, we carried out a cross-species study of vertebral shape variation in humans and non-human apes to examine the links between vertebral shape, locomotor behaviour and vertical intervertebral disc herniation.
This makes it suitable for large-scale, multi-species studies of taxonomic groups for which few genetic markers are readily available.
All previous multi-species studies of trait comparisons between selfers and outcrossers have involved variable mixes of monocarpic and longer-lived polycarpic species.
Among the between-species studies of copy number differences in primates, no technical or computational assessment of the influence of sequence divergence has been made.
