Abstract excerpt
The amino acid sequence of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor 1 ligand binding domain (AHR1 LBD) is an important determinant of sensitivity to dioxin-like compounds in avian species. We are interested in surveying AHR1 LBD sequences in a large number of birds as a means of identifying species that are particularly sensitive to dioxin-like compounds. Our original method for determining AHR1 LBD genotype used liver...
