The sheep genome illuminates biology of the rumen and lipid metabolism

…, X Liu, C Lu, T Lv, T Mathew, S McWilliam, M Menzies… - Science, 2014 - science.org
Sheep (Ovis aries) are a major source of meat, milk, and fiber in the form of wool and represent
a distinct class of animals that have a specialized digestive organ, the rumen, that carries …

Ex Vivo Profiling of CD8+-T-Cell Responses to Human Cytomegalovirus Reveals Broad and Multispecific Reactivities in Healthy Virus Carriers

R Elkington, S Walker, T Crough, M Menzies… - Journal of …, 2003 - Am Soc Microbiol
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can establish both nonproductive (latent) and productive (lytic)
infections. Many of the proteins expressed during these phases of infection could be …

Identification and expression of Toll-like receptors 1–10 in selected bovine and ovine tissues

M Menzies, A Ingham - Veterinary immunology and immunopathology, 2006 - Elsevier
Members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family are vital to immune function through the sensing
of pathogenic agents and initiation of an appropriate immune response. More specifically, …

Gastrointestinal nematode challenge induces some conserved gene expression changes in the gut mucosa of genetically resistant sheep

…, A Reverter, R Windon, P Hunt, M Menzies - International journal for …, 2008 - Elsevier
Sheep have a varying ability to resist infection with gastrointestinal nematodes. This ability
is due in part to genetic differences that exist between individuals. In order to define these …

[HTML][HTML] Chromatin accessibility and regulatory vocabulary across indicine cattle tissues

PA Alexandre, M Naval-Sánchez, M Menzies… - Genome biology, 2021 - Springer
Background Spatiotemporal changes in the chromatin accessibility landscape are essential
to cell differentiation, development, health, and disease. The quest of identifying regulatory …

Identification of a Dieldrin Resistance-Associated Mutation in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)

M Hope, M Menzies, D Kemp - Journal of economic entomology, 2010 - academic.oup.com
The southern cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini) (Acari: Ixodidae),
is a major vector of tick fever organisms affecting cattle in many parts of the world, including …

Proteomic analysis of the abomasal mucosal response following infection by the nematode, Haemonchus contortus, in genetically resistant and susceptible sheep

…, R Sharma, N Andronicos, P Hunt, M Menzies… - Journal of …, 2012 - Elsevier
Sheep have a variable ability to resist gastrointestinal nematode infection, but the key factors
mediating this response are poorly defined. Here we report the first large-scale application …

[HTML][HTML] Leveraging transcriptome and epigenome landscapes to infer regulatory networks during the onset of sexual maturation

AR Mohamed, M Naval-Sanchez, M Menzies, B Evans… - BMC genomics, 2022 - Springer
Background Despite sexual development being ubiquitous to vertebrates, the molecular
mechanisms underpinning this fundamental transition remain largely undocumented in many …

Gene expression profiles of BMP4, FGF10 and cognate inhibitors, in the skin of foetal Merino sheep, at the time of secondary follicle branching

M Menzies, S Stockwell, A Brownlee… - Experimental …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The high concentration of secondary branched follicles is a distinctive feature of the Merino
sheep. These follicles initiate from 100 days of gestation. Here, we report a transition in …

A novel antigen from Anaplasma marginale: characterization, expression and preliminary evaluation of the recombinant protein

M Hope, G Riding, M Menzies, P Willadsen - Vaccine, 2004 - Elsevier
Through a process of protein fractionation and vaccination we previously identified four native
antigens that confer a degree of protection against challenge with Anaplasma marginale. …
