High impact information on Carnivora

  • In the present study, we have analyzed the targeting of AGT in Carnivora in relation to species' natural diets [1].
  • Phylogenetic analyses of complete cytochrome b genes of the order carnivora with particular emphasis on the caniformia [2].
  • Protamine P1 genes have been sequenced following PCR amplification from 11 mammals representing five major mammalian orders: Rodentia (rat and guinea pig), Carnivora (cat and bear), Proboscidea (elephant), Perissodactyla (horse), and Artiodactyla (camel, deer, elk, moose, and gazelle) [3].
  • All Carnivora sera tested were strongly positive [4].
  • Phylogenetic relationships among 37 living species of order Carnivora spanning a relatively broad range of divergence times and taxonomic levels were examined using nuclear sequence data from exon 1 of the IRBP gene (approximately 1.3 kb) and first intron of the TTR gene (approximately 1 kb) [5].
 

Biological context of Carnivora

 

Associations of Carnivora with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Carnivora

  • An orthologous deletion of 363bp in the aligned APOB sequences proved phylogenetically informative for the grouping of the order Carnivora with the order Pholidota into the superordinal clade Ostentoria [14].
  • Thus, the unique subunit arrangement of Hp reported in dog may be common in the Carnivora [8].
  • Patterns of postnatal development in skulls of lynxes, genus Lynx (Mammalia: Carnivora) [15].
