Differential transcription of two highly divergent gut-expressed Bm86 antigen gene homologues in the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
Bishop, R P; Musoke, A; Orago, A; Kabiru, E; Obura, M; Kanduma, Esther G; Githaka, N; Mwaura, S; Odongo, D O; Skilton, R A; Kamau, L (College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of Biological Science, 2011)The transcriptional control of gene expression is not well documented in the Arthropoda. We describe transcriptional analysis of two exceptionally divergent homologues (Ra86) of the Bm86 gut antigen from Rhipicephalus ... -
Specific PCR assay for a tannin-tolerant selenomonas ruminantium isolate, derived from helicase coding sequences
Bishop, R; Obura, M; Odongo, D; Odenyo, A (College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of Biological Science, 2004)Sequences from a tannin-tolerant Selenomonas ruminantium isolate (EAT2) that hydrolyzes gallic acid were identified. Two exhibited identity to helicases with a wide phylogenetic distribution. PCR amplification by using ...
