First Steps towards the Development of Epigenetic Biomarkers in Female Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Life"
DOI: 10.3390/life12060920
Abstract: Free-ranging cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) are generally healthy, whereas cheetahs under human care, such as those in zoological gardens, suffer from ill-defined infectious and degenerative pathologies. These differences are only partially explained by husbandry management programs… read more here.
