Includes bibliographical references. This thesis reports the first assessment of OR variation in Bathyergidae, and therefore, the first for a family of subterranean mammals. Using a PCR-sequencing approach, 178 unique OR sequences, corresponding to 119 unique OR genes are characterised from 14 mole-rat species. Bathyergidae OR genes are classified using sequence similarity and phylogenetic comparison with more than 50 mammalian OR subgenomes. 2015-01-05T06:46:23Z 2015-01-05T06:46:23Z 2012 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11345 eng application/pdf Department of Molecular and Cell Biology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
