Hypoxic level and duration differentially affect embryonic organ system development of the chicken (Gallus gallus) (open access)

Hypoxic level and duration differentially affect embryonic organ system development of the chicken (Gallus gallus)

This article investigates how key organ systems are affected by hypoxia. The results indicated that either modest hypoxia (15% O2) throughout development, or hypoxia at any level during the late stages (d 11 to 18), increased the heart and chorioallantoic membrane weight, which partly compensated for the detrimental effects of hypoxia on embryonic development.

Evaluation of a Chicken 600K SNP genotyping array in non-model species of grouse (open access)

Evaluation of a Chicken 600K SNP genotyping array in non-model species of grouse

This article tested the cross-species application of the Affymetrix 600K Chicken SNP array in five species of North American prairie grouse (Centrocercus and Tympanuchus genera). Two individuals were genotyped per species for a total of ten samples and a high proportion (91%) of the total 580 961 SNPs were genotyped in at least one individual (73–76% SNPs genotyped per species).

Magnetic ordering in a vanadium-organic coordination polymer using a pyrrolo[2,3-d:5,4-d0] bis(thiazole)-based ligand (open access)

Magnetic ordering in a vanadium-organic coordination polymer using a pyrrolo[2,3-d:5,4-d0] bis(thiazole)-based ligand

This article presents the synthesis and characterization of a hybrid vanadium-organic coordination polymer with robust magnetic order, a Curie temperature TC of ~110 K, a coercive field of ~5 Oe at 5 K, and a maximum mass magnetization of about half that of the benchmark ferrimagnetic vanadium(tetracyanoethylene)~₂ (V·(TCNE)~₂).
