(2019-08-14)Lions are a flagship species, meaning that as a large, charismatic carnivore, research and conservation for the lion influences many other species that share its habitat. Proper management requires understanding of a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) was aphid-transmitted from potato (Solanum tuberosum cultivar Russet Burbank) to ground cherry (Physalis floridana), where it was maintained by serial aphid transmission. Serological and plant ...
-
(2009-05-15)An ideal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system should be capable of rapidly amplifying a wide range of targets in both single and multiplex formats. Unfortunately, the timescales and complexities involved in many existing ...
-
(2019-11-12)The nature of Watson – Crick base pairing has enabled the rational design of complex and dynamic DNA/RNA-based molecular circuits capable of detecting nucleic acids in a sequence dependent fashion in vitro. Given the ease ...
-
(2011-02-22)The interest in using gene therapy to target a variety of both inherited and acquired diseases has intensified over the last two decades. Because free DNA is easily degraded by serum nucleases in the bloodstream, the ...
-
(2020-06-18)Nucleic acids serve as the molecular blueprint for all life on earth. Oligonucleotides hybridize to form the classic double helix architecture by aligning complementary bases to hydrogen bond with one another following a ...
-
(2013-01-15)With steady growth in global commerce and intensified ship traffic worldwide, comes the increased risk of invasion by non-indigenous organisms. Annually, >7000 vessels traveled across Galveston Bay, Texas from 2005-2010. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The reliability of genome analysis and proficiency of genetic manipulation in vivo and in vitro are increased by assignment of linkage groups to specific chromosomes, placement of centromeres, orientation with respect to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted on a system consisting of a decamer DNA solvated by trehalose and water (molecular ratio= 1:2), to mimic a relatively dry state for the DNA molecule. Simulations were performed ...
-
(2014-08-20)Many efforts to develop advanced medical diagnostic capabilities rely on the ability to perform size-based separations of DNA and proteins. Miniaturized formats have potential to provide rapid integrated solutions, but ...
-
(2009-05-15)Invented in the 1950s, gel electrophoresis has now become a routine analytical method to verify the size of nucleic acids and proteins in molecular biology labs. Conventional gel electrophoresis can successfully separate ...

-
(2016-12-07)It is known that mechanics plays a central role in many biological events. Tissue can remodel and turnover to adapt to new mechanical environment, such as hypertension and exercising. During the remodeling, hydrolysis of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Coronary angiogenesis, the formation of new microvessels in the heart, depends upon proliferation and migration of coronary venular endothelial cells (CVEC). We examined the molecular interactions of the angiogenic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Two bovine populations were studied to identify restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) for stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1). The cattle represented purebred Angus (n = 32), and American Wagyu (n = 10). Detection ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The Tetrahymena thermophila rDNA minichromosome has been used as a model system for studying DNA replication. Previous studies have identified cis-acting replication determinants within the rDNA origin and promoter region ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Circadian oscillators or clocks are a widespread, endogenous class of oscillatory mechanisms that control the ~24h temporal pattern of diverse organism functions. In cyanobacteria this mechanism is formed by three proteins, ...
-
(2015-12-07)Bisphenol A (BPA) is a common chemical intermediate associated with adverse reproductive effects, cancer, and other human health disorders. Despite these risks, BPA continues to be employed worldwide towards the production ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Intraspecific differences in DNA content are frequently due to altered copy number of families of repeated, nongenic sequences for which functional roles have not been determined. There have been several reports of variation ...
