Disease relevance of Canidae

Cystine nephrolithiasis in an endangered canid, Chrysocyon brachyurus (Carnivora: Canidae) [1].

High impact information on Canidae

Isolation and molecular evolution of the selenocysteine tRNA (Cf TRSP) and RNase P RNA (Cf RPPH1) genes in the dog family, Canidae [2].
Comparison of these marine mammal sequences with other published mammalian IL-6 cDNA demonstrated that both harbor seal and sea otter IL-6 had most similarity to that of other terrestrial carnivores (Mustelidae and Canidae), while killer whale had highest identity with ruminants (Bovidae and Ovidae) [3].
Each microsatellite shows conservation within Canidae, and CUX20001 also amplified in Mustelidae and URSIDAE: These markers represent an important tool in the fine mapping process for the canine region homologous to the RP3 disease interval and are valuable for evaluation of conservation and homology of this region among related species [4].
Longitudinal fecal steroid excretion in maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) [5].
Comparative chromosomal localization of the canine-derived BAC clones containing LEP and IGF1 genes in four species of the family Canidae [6].

Associations of Canidae with chemical compounds

4. In maned wolf cubs it was found that retinol, retinyl esters and alpha-tocopherol increased with the age of the animals, reaching values comparable to adult animals at the age of 5 months [7].
