Characterisation of a group of endogenous gammaretroviruses in the canine genome (2013)
Journal Article
Tarlinton, R. E., Barfoot, H. K., Allen, C. E., Brown, K., Gifford, R. J., & Emes, R. D. (2013). Characterisation of a group of endogenous gammaretroviruses in the canine genome. Veterinary Journal, 196(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2012.08.011

Bioinformatics were used to identify and characterise 39 pol, 34 gag and five env gammaretroviruses within the canine (Canis lupus familiaris) reference genome. These endogenous retroviruses are monophyletic to the Canidae, predate the divergence of... Read More about Characterisation of a group of endogenous gammaretroviruses in the canine genome.

The challenge of Schmallenberg virus emergence in Europe (2012)
Journal Article
Tarlinton, R., Daly, J. M., Dunham, S. P., & Kydd, J. M. (2012). The challenge of Schmallenberg virus emergence in Europe. Veterinary Journal, 194(1), 10-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2012.08.017

The large-scale outbreak of disease across Northern Europe caused by a new orthobunyavirus known as
Schmallenberg virus has caused considerable disruption to lambing and calving. Although advances in
technology and collaboration between veterinary... Read More about The challenge of Schmallenberg virus emergence in Europe.

Characterisation of retroviruses in the horse genome and their transcriptional activity via transcriptome sequencing (2012)
Journal Article
Brown, K., Moreton, J., Malla, S., Aboobaker, A. A., Emes, R. D., & Tarlinton, R. E. (2012). Characterisation of retroviruses in the horse genome and their transcriptional activity via transcriptome sequencing. Virology, 433(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.virol.2012.07.010

The recently released draft horse genome is incompletely characterised in terms of its repetitive
element profile. This paper presents characterisation of the endogenous retrovirus (ERVs) of the horse
genome based on a data-mining strategy using mur... Read More about Characterisation of retroviruses in the horse genome and their transcriptional activity via transcriptome sequencing.

Betaherpesvirus sequences in eastern spiny mice and Wagner's dipodils (2011)
Journal Article
Tarlinton, R. E., Tate, H. F., Mohallal, E. M., Daly, J. M., & Behnke, J. M. (2011). Betaherpesvirus sequences in eastern spiny mice and Wagner's dipodils. Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 47(4), 958-962. https://doi.org/10.7589/0090-3558-47.4.958

Eastern spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus; also known as Sinai spiny mice) have been extensively studied in terms of the influence of parasite load on population size and reproductive fitness. The physical isolation of these rodent populations makes them... Read More about Betaherpesvirus sequences in eastern spiny mice and Wagner's dipodils.

Confidence as a barrier to the use of problem-based learning in veterinary undergraduate students (2011)
Journal Article
Tarlinton, R. E., Yon, L., Klisch, K., Tötemeyer, S., & Gough, K. C. (2011). Confidence as a barrier to the use of problem-based learning in veterinary undergraduate students. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 38(3), 305-310

Problem-based or case-based learning is a popular method of instruction in clinical degrees such as veterinary science, nursing, and medicine. It is difficult, however, for students to adapt to this learning method, and this difficulty has been well...

Endogenous retroviruses: Biology and evolution of the endogenous koala retrovirus (2008)
Journal Article
Tarlinton, R., Meers, J., & Young, P. (2008). Endogenous retroviruses: Biology and evolution of the endogenous koala retrovirus. Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 65(21), 3413-3421. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00018-008-8499-y

Although endogenous retroviruses are ubiquitous features of all mammalian genomes, the process of initial germ line invasion and subsequent inactivation from a pathogenic element has not yet been observed in a wild species. Koala retrovirus (KoRV) pr... Read More about Endogenous retroviruses: Biology and evolution of the endogenous koala retrovirus.

Retroviral invasion of the koala genome (2006)
Journal Article
Tarlinton, R. E., Meers, J., & Young, P. R. (2006). Retroviral invasion of the koala genome. Nature, 442(7098), 79-81. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature04841

Endogenous retroviruses are a common ancestral feature of mammalian genomes with most having been inactivated over time through mutation and deletion. A group of more intact endogenous retroviruses are considered to have entered the genomes of some s... Read More about Retroviral invasion of the koala genome.

Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR for the endogenous koala retrovirus reveals an association between plasma viral load and neoplastic disease in koalas (2005)
Journal Article
Tarlinton, R., Meers, J., Hanger, J., & Young, P. (2005). Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR for the endogenous koala retrovirus reveals an association between plasma viral load and neoplastic disease in koalas. Journal of General Virology, 86(3), 783-787. https://doi.org/10.1099/vir.0.80547-0

Koala retrovirus (KoRV) is a newly described endogenous retrovirus and is unusual in that inserts comprise a full-length replication competent genome. As koalas are known to suffer from an extremely high incidence of leukaemia/lymphoma, the associati...
