There are a multitude of causes of bone loss around a dental implant. These include, but are not limited to, … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Nov 2019 · 7,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSex Identification and the Sex-Related Genes of Nipponia NipponFeilong Sun, Xuanfu Huang, Shuiyun YangSex identification in birds is necessary for studying their ecology, behavior and population dynamics and structure. This study was carried out to determine the sex of Nipponia nippon by a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. The sexing universal primers of non-ratite birds were employed to amplify the sexing related genes and identify the sex of each individual.
