(2017-04-28)With an ever-increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance in clinical settings, bacterial viruses, or “phages”, are being considered as alternatives to chemical antibiotics. One type of phage in particular, single-stranded ...
-
(2013-09-25)The plant innate immune system is built on a great number of processes, many of which are uncharacterized, or incompletely identified. Infection of Arabidopsis thaliana with bac- terium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato ...
-
(2014-04-08)Mitochondria house the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), the main site for cellular respiration and energy production. The MRC consists of five large protein complexes (I-V) in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Despite ...

-
(2014-09-25)Janaria mirabilis (Hydractiniidae, Hydrozoa, Cnidaria) is a calcareous hydrozoan that forms encrusting colonies on gastropod shells. Identifying Hydractiniids using morphology only has been shown to be misleading due to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Although Brucella abortus, the causative agent of brucellosis, is mainly under control in the United States, outbreaks do occur, particularly in wild animal herds. This study coupled amplified fragment length polymorphism ...
-
(2013-02-04)White tigers are greatly cherished by the public, making them valuable to zoos and breeders. Unfortunately, a number of health issues have occasionally surfaced within some of the white tiger population such as neurological ...
-
(2017-05-01)Salt marshes serve as essential habitat for many organisms. Grass shrimp of the genus Palaemonetes encompass approximately 25 to 70 percent of nekton within salt marsh edge habitat, serving as prey items for commercially ...
-
(1983)Aspartate transcarbamylase (ATCase, EC 2.1.3.2) allosterically modulates de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis in the enteric bacteria. This modulation differs in Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens, with CTP allosterically ...
-
(2013-02-06)Genetic research opens doors to applied science. The more that is understood about the genetics of something, the more that organism can be used to achieve some desired outcome, an example being increase in crop yield or ...
-
(2011-08-08)Even though cyanide is highly toxic, it is commonly found in industrial waste generated by several industries such as metal plating and mining. This chemical is hazardous for many organisms, including mammals, because it ...
-
Dioxins have historically been known to cause adverse health effects in humans1. 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, dioxin), is a byproduct of forest fires, waste incineration, automobile exhaust, cigarette smoke, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Circadian biological clocks are found in virtually all organisms and function to generate daily rhythms. The circadian clock (built by one or more oscillators) controls rhythmicity in a wide range of processes, ranging ...
-
(2011-04-26)As yet significant portions of the genetic variation in complex traits have not been explained with genome wide association experiments; and this has led to the search for the "missing heritability". Our data support the ...
-
(2014-09-22)Burkholderia cenocepacia is one of seventeen opportunistic pathogens that form the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). In the clinical environment, Bcc species are especially problematic due to their resistance to many ...
-
(2011-08-04)Recently there has been an increase in bacterial infections that are resistant to traditional antibiotics. With this upward trend of resistance, many scientists are turning to alternative treatments like phage therapeutics. ...
-
The genotypic factors that affect antler size in whitetail deer are currently unknown. Environmental factors, such as nutrition, have been studied and have been shown to affect antler size, but the role of genomic variation ...
-
The Buffalo Ranch site (41BU119) is located along the Brazos River in Burleson County, Texas under 11 m of late Quaternary alluvium. Here, a Wilson projectile point and Big Sandy projectile point, along with other artifacts, ...
-
(2013-12-16)Sub-Riemannian geometry is an intensively developing field of Mathematics lying at the intersection of Differential Geometry, Control Theory with application to Robotics, Hamil- tonian dynamics and PDEs. Our research is ...
