This study used ultra-deep sequencing to study genome-wide mtDNA mutation load in the liver of normally- and prematurely-aging mice. http://www.research.psu.edu/arp/research-reviews/ultra-deep-sequencing-of-mouse-mitochondrial-dna-mutational-patterns-and-their-origins/image_thumb http://www.research.psu.edu/arp/research-reviews/ultra-deep-sequencing-of-mouse-mitochondrial-dna-mutational-patterns-and-their-origins No publisher Penn State 2011-04-01T17:16:57Z Research Review http://www.research.psu.edu/arp/research-reviews/using-motivation-to-feed-as-a-way-to-assess-the-importance-of-space-for-broiler-chickens Modern broiler chickens (bred for meat production) are raised under high-density conditions that allow maximum production efficiency. Concerns about the effects of these conditions on the health and welfare of birds has spurred research attempts to determine if high density rearing is detrimental. http://www.research.psu.edu/arp/research-reviews/using-motivation-to-feed-as-a-way-to-assess-the-importance-of-space-for-broiler-chickens/image_thumb http://www.research.psu.edu/arp/research-reviews/using-motivation-to-feed-as-a-way-to-assess-the-importance-of-space-for-broiler-chickens No publisher Penn State 2011-01-10T18:53:47Z Research Review http://www.research.psu.edu/arp/research-reviews/what-do-fish-make-of-mirror-images As early as the 1930’s researchers knew the highly territorial male Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) would respond aggressively and attempt to attack a mirror image of itself as if confronting a real intruder (Lissmann 1932). http://www.research.psu.edu/arp/research-reviews/what-do-fish-make-of-mirror-images/image_thumb http://www.research.psu.edu/arp/research-reviews/what-do-fish-make-of-mirror-images No publisher Penn State 2011-01-10T16:14:12Z Research Review
