(2017-07-31)In Drosophila, time-keeping is based on a ~24h transcription feedback loop, in which CLOCK-CYCLE (CLK-CYC) heterodimers activate transcription of genes encoding the feedback repressors PERIOD (PER) and TIMELESS (TIM). ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Circadian rhythms are visible as daily oscillations in biochemical, physiological, or behavioral processes. These rhythms are produced by an endogenous clock that maintains synchrony with the external environment through ...
-
(2013-05-01)The advances of high-throughput technologies, such as next-generation sequencing and microarrays, have rapidly improved the accessibility of molecular profiles in tumor samples. However, due to the immaturity of relevant ...
-
(2014-11-17)The objectives of this research were to evaluate common biological measures of aflatoxicosis in broilers (such as growth rate and relative organ weights) along with variables such as hepatic gene expression and aflatoxin ...

(1989)I am investigating the effects of light on the accumulation of mRNA for the atpF and rbcL chloroplast genes. Light exposure affects the expression of some plant genes. Chloroplasts are genetically semi-autonomous when ...
-
(2017-06-09)Aging affects the reproductive efficiency of females. In rodent models, injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improves function and induces trophic mRNA expression in ovaries compromised by chemotherapy. However, ...
-
Foods play an essential role in the management of disease; it is becoming increasingly common for individuals to turn to foods as a form of therapy or even prevention of progressive conditions, such as cancer. The biochemical ...

(2012-10-19)Pasture feeding depresses adipose tissue development in beef cattle whereas grain feeding, enhances adipogenesis. Therefore, we hypothesized that specific fatty acids would differentially affect lipogenesis in explants ...
-
(2016-05-09)Variation and variability of gene expression are central concepts in biology. Variation refers to differences among individuals, whereas variability refers to the potential of a population to vary. The advent of next-generation ...
-
(2012-10-19)Sialylation is an important carbohydrate modification of glycoconjugates, which introduces sialic acids (SA). The relatively large nine-carbon, negatively charged sugars are typically located at the termini of carbohydrate ...
-
(2016-01-07)Understanding the environmental factors influencing virulence of V. vulnificus is of utmost importance in reducing human exposure to this deadly pathogen. Quantitative PCR assays for the virulence indicator genes vcg and ...
-
(2013-02-27)We observe phenotypic variations in the human population every day; however, the underlying genetic mechanism behind these variations is difficult to decipher. In this project I investigate the links between phenotypic and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Steroid hormones, such as estrogen, are produced in one tissue and carried through the blood stream to target tissues in which they bind to highly specific nuclear receptors and trigger changes in gene expression and ...
-
(2012-04-30)Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the causative agent of Lyme disease, is a spirochetal pathogen that colonizes mammalian hosts causing numerous neurological and physiological symptoms. This thesis focuses on the gene expression ...
-
(2019-07-08)Commercial meat-chickens (broilers) have been heavily selected for performance traits including high body weights, large breast muscle size, and improved feed efficiency. The wooden breast condition (WB) is a consequence ...

Functions of Arabidopsis C-terminal Domain Phosphatase-like 4 in Global Transcriptional Regulation (2017-05-02)Phosphoregulation of the carboxyl-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II largest subunit (pol II-CTD) couples transcription and co-transcriptional modification of nascent RNA. Although the molecular mechanisms have been ...
-
(1995)Receptor subunit composition can be examined at the mRNA (gene expression) level. Profiling gene expression in acutely isolated neurons from adult animals offers a potentially powerful approach to determining GABAₐ receptor ...
-
(2012-02-14)The molecular mechanisms underlying disease-resistance and drought-resistance in forest trees are not well understood. Linking variation in gene expression with genetic polymorphisms and with variations in disease- and ...
