Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly spreading, bacterial, soft-tissue infection reported in both humans and dogs. A review of the pathophysiology, clinical findings, diagnosis, and treatment of necrotizing fasciitis is presented, with the goal of familiarizing veterinarians with this uncommon but pot...

The microsatellites, designated MN40-MN44, were isolated from subclones derived from a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone (145H12) by screening with a (GT)10 oligonucleotide probe. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of 19 unrelated animals revealed the presence of 4, 5, 10, 5 and 7 alleles ...

It is proposed that the wild-type xol-1 gene product of Caenorhabditis elegans promotes male development by ensuring that genes (or gene products) directing hermaphrodite sex determination and dosage compensation are inactive XO animals. In addition to feminizing XO animals, xol-1 mutations further ...
