White, Brian Andrew (2019-07-19)Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are primeval molecules ubiquitous to all domains of life. The interactions between aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs) and actively translating ribosomes are critical components to the central dogma of biology ...
-
Anzola Lagos, Juan Manuel (2009-05-15)MicroRNAs are a large family of 21-26 nucleotide non-coding RNAs with a role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. In recent years, microRNAs have been proposed to play a significant role in the expansion ...

Guo, Jinbai (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Cell cycle progression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells was monitored in continuous cultures limited for glucose or nitrogen. The G1 cell cycle phase, before initiation of DNA replication, did not exclusively expand when ...

A Cytosine Methyltransferase Homologue Is Essential for Sexual Development in Aspergillus nidulans Lee, Dong W.; Freitag, Michael; Selker, Eric U.; Aramayo, Rodolfo; Corrochano, Luis M. (PloS One, 2008)
-
Salazar, Adam Janton (2019-02-12)This dissertation covers projects focused on the drug design and characterization of novel bacterial drug targets. The first project centers on acetolactate synthase (ALS), a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of ...
-
McLaughlin, Malcolm Thomas (2009-05-15)The presence of an unpaired copy of a gene during meiosis triggers the silencing of every copy of that gene in the diploid ascus cell of Neurospora crassa, a phenomenon called Meiotic Silencing. This phenomenon has two stages: ...
-
Johnson, Taryn Shae (2021-07-02)The genetic and macrofossil composition of paleofeces from Bonneville Estates Rockshelter (BER) can aid environmental and dietary reconstruction, as the dietary contents of coprolites change as environmental conditions ...
-
Bennett, Chloe (2022-12-12)The Drosophila melanogaster post-mating response (PMR) is a well-characterized suite of changes that occur after mating, accompanied by a flux in gene expression. Given the significant male contribution to the PMR, as well ...

Alshanbari, Fahad (2019-12-04)Camelids are an important livestock species in many regions of the world, often used for transportation and the production of wool/fiber, meat, and milk. Furthermore, they are used as exotic animals in zoos and shows, and ...
-
Wu, I Fan (2021-06-04)Following classical genetic approaches to understanding gene function, high-throughput phenotyping methods have emerged as a new way of studying gene functions, especially in microorganisms, which are highly amenable to ...
-
Gardunia, Brian Wayne (2009-05-15)To increase genetic diversity with elite upland cotton, introgression populations with wild species of cotton, Gossypium mustelinum and G. tomentosum, were created. To accomplish this objective, F1, F2, BC1F1, and BC1F2 ...

McWilliams, Kelsey Lynn (2020-05-13)With changes in climate, increased world population projections, and limitations to water availability, farmers are challenged to meet future food and feed demands. This study focuses on alleviation of drought stress, by ...
-
Silva, Pinnaduwage O (2013-12-02)Maternally inherited endosymbionts are ubiquitous among insects and are known to influence the ecology and evolution of a host species. As such, burgeoning evidence exemplifies their effect on host biology through ...
-
Pratt, Robert James (2009-05-15)Meiosis, the core engine of sexual reproduction, is a complex process that results in the production of recombinant haploid genomes. In the meioses of Neurospora, worms and mice, gene expression from DNA that lacks a ...
-
Tang, Xiaotian (2020-03-13)‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (Lso), is an emerging and serious bacterial pathogen of solanaceous crops, and it can cause very damaging plant diseases (e.g., zebra chip in potatoes). Presently, two haplotypes of ...
-
Pathak, Ritu (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The decision to initiate division is very important, as once cells have initiated division they are committed to complete it. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commitment to a new round of cell division occurs at a regulatory ...
-
Paredes Martinez, Lida Silvana (2012-07-16)Chromatin structure is a fundamental determinant of eukaryotic gene expression and it is composed of two chromatin environments, euchromatin and heterochromatin. Euchromatin provides an accessible platform for ...
-
Hawkings, Chloe Lauren (2018-12-04)The reproductive ground plan hypothesis suggests that the evolution of social insects has resulted in genes being co-opted from reproductive functions into functions that enable the division of labor. To test this hypothesis ...

Suescún Torres, Ana Victoria (2014-07-29)Meiotic silencing refers to the mechanism of silencing genes or chromosomes without a homologous counterpart (unpaired) during meiotic prophase I. Meiotic silencing has been described in several eukaryotes, including humans. ...
