Applications / Case studies

  • Analysis of the presence / absence and absolute quantification of the DNA of MLO (Midichloria-like organism), candidate responsible for the RMS pathology (Red Mark Syndrome) in rainbow trout and verification of the genetic identity of the endocellular bacterium
  • Study of the profile of ruminal microbial communities in vivo and in vitro in relation to different diets supplyed
  • Study of the expression of genes related to milk production, expressed in the mammary gland, in cattle subjected to different conditions of environmental thermal stress.
  • Study of the different expression of genes coding for urea and Aquaporine transporters in the ruminal epithelium of cattle raised with different sources and protein levels in the diet.
  • Study of the expression of genes and proteins related to meat tenderization in the loin of young Camosciata of the Alps of different ages.
  • Study of the expression of genes and proteins related to the incineration of meat in the loin of different genetic types of cattle.
  • Study of the expression of genes linked to the incineration of meat in different bovine muscles due to their contractile properties.
  • Study of the effect of the use of flax seeds, in the feeding of Italian Red Pezzata and Holstein cattle, on the expression of genes that regulate the metabolism of fatty acids in adipose tissue.
  • Study of the distribution of alleles of the BoLA-DRB3 gene, linked to resistance to bovine dermatophyllosis, in a population of zebu Goudali and in its crossing with the Italian Red Pezzata breed, bred in Cameroon.
  • Genetic identification of parasitic and pathogenic microbial species in farmed fish (e.g. trout, sea bream, sea bass,) and wild animals (e.g. wild cat)
  • Gene expression analysis of immune cytokines (e.g. IL-1, IL-8, IL-6, IL-10, TLR-5, IgM, IgT, MHC-I, MHC-II, TCR, TNF, etc.) in farmed trout suffering from bacterial diseases, such as Red Mark Syndrome and lactococcosis
