Gamble, Debra Natalie (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Wild-type cells of Paramecium teiraurelia have been studied to determine if easily quantifiable biomarkers could be found to change with age. These same biomarkers were then measured using the ftA 3 mutant, one of a class ...
-
Cameron, Pamela Joan (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The carcass characteristics of Angus, American Wagyu and Japanese Black cattle, which had been fed to the Japanese market endpoint, were analyzed. While some of the Angus steers displayed marbling comparable to the Wagyu ...

Fritz, Krista L. (2011-02-22)The goal of this project was to identify and characterize polymorphic markers spanning regions of the bovine major histocompatibility complex (BoLA) to analyze patterns of genetic variation and haplotype structure across ...
-
Schroeder, James William (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This project sets as its goal the development of an Intelligent Design paradigm that makes falsifiable predictions. According to Karl Popper, such falsifiability is a key component of scientific theories. To accomplish ...

Callicott, Ralph J. (2010-01-14)Rift Valley Fever Virus is a plebovirus that causes epidemics and epizootics in sub-Saharan African countries but has expanded to Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula. The laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) is susceptible to ...

Zimring, Debra Carol Sanders (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A mutation in a coat color gene in mice provides an opportunity to study the genetics and physiology of pigmentation, which is a powerful tool for understanding many biological processes, especially development. In 1989, ...

Camacho, Zenaido (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Six different isoforms of Type IV collagen (colIVα1-6) have been identified. The individual isoforms of colIV are termed alpha chains and are translated from six different COLIV genes (COLIVA1-A6). Collagen Type IV gene ...
-
Wales, Melinda Elizabet (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Pyrimidine nucleotides may be provided for cellular growth via a de novo biosynthetic pathway or salvage pathways of interconversion of nucleosides and bases. The de novo biosynthesis in D. discoideum is provided by the ...
-
Flores, Erin Gillenwaters (2012-10-19)Cathelicidins (CATHLs) are small, cationic antimicrobial peptides that establish an early innate immune defense against infections in mammals. Beyond their wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity, these peptides play ...
-
Zneimer, Susan Mahler (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The genes for fibronectin, gamma crystallin and isocitrate dehydrogenase are syntenic in man, mouse and cow. In an effort to physically localize this conserved chromosomal region in the genomes of the respective species, ...
-
Cargill, Edward James (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The Dalmatian is affected by deafness more than any other breed of domestic dog, with 30% of the United States population suffering from unilateral or bilateral deafness. The genetic origin of deafness in the Dalmatian is ...
-
Moody, Jessica Ashley (2009-05-15)Type IV collagens are components of basement membranes throughout the body and are involved in maintenance of the structural integrity of tissues as well as cellular differentiation, growth, and adhesion. Members of this ...

Mobley, David Lynn (1982)Several alleles exist for a polymorphic esterase locus located on chromosome-8 in Mus musculus. The locus, which codes for esterase-2, is expressed as four alleles including an Es-2ᴬ (null) allele exhibiting no protein ...
-
Taylor, Kristen Hawkins (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Through a binding partner the CARD15 gene activates NF-kB, a molecule with a role in the initiation of the inflammatory immune response. The gene is highly conserved in both structure and function in human and mouse and ...
-
Tsai, Kate Leanne (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The morphologic variability seen in the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, is unique among mammals. Selective pressures imposed by humans have divided dogs into almost 400 separate breeds. Selection has also led to the ...
-
Seabury, Christopher Mark (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, are a group of inevitably fatal neurodegenerative diseases that occur in mammalian species. Ovine susceptibility to scrapie, the prototypical TSE, is ...
