Cox, Melissa Luanne (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, plays many roles in the lives of humans. Additionally, the dog is recognized for its potential as a model for many human hereditary diseases. Thus, the genetics and genomics of the ...
-
Massey, Teresa Louise (1982)A number of known chemical carcinogens were tested as potential inducers of mouse tissue esterases. Only the nitrosamines, DEN and DPN, altered the electrophoretic profiles of esterases in this study. While nitrosamines ...
-
Brinkmeyer Langford, Candice Lea (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)High-resolution physically ordered gene maps for the horse (Equus caballus, ECA) are essential to the identification of genes associated with hereditary diseases and traits of interest like fertility, coat color, and disease ...
-
Petrescu, Anca Daniela (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Cholesterol and fatty acyl-coenzymeA thioesters are signalling molecules with role in regulation of genes involved in lipid and glucose transport and metabolism. The studies described herein focused on three proteins that ...
-
Durkin, Keith W. (2010-01-16)The primary goal of the Thoroughbred industry is to breed and train superior equine athletes capable of excelling on the racetrack. To date, research into the genetic underpinnings of athletic ability has been limited in ...
-
Nettleton, Mignon Y. (1983)The cattle genome contains a gene for vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) sensitivity, possibly coding for a VSV receptor molecule. This was demonstrated by a VSV challenge to cattle-hamster hybrid clones segregating cattle ...
-
Wallis, Deeann (1993)Human cDNA probe H1. 6 (clone 10-1) encoding cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) was used to map the bovine homolog of CFTR. Using a panel of bovine X rodent hybrid somatic cells, the homolog was ...
-
Ryan, Anne Marie (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)In this study, the genetic and physical mapping of bovine α (IFNA), [β (IFNB), ω (IFNO), trophoblast (IFNT) and Υ (IFNG) interferon gene families, the characterization of individual genes and alleles within each IFN ...
-
Dere, Ruhee J. (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is caused by the extreme expansion (from < 30 repeats in normal individuals to ~ 11,000 for the full mutation in certain patients) of the repeating tetranucleotide CCTGÂCAGG sequence in the ...
-
Seabury, Ashley Gustafson (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a genomic region comprised of a linked cluster of genes and gene families that play an important role in both the adaptive and innate immune responses. Genes within the MHC ...
-
Li, Lei (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The bovine genomic map has been expanded by both physical and genetic techniques. The physical asignment of the T-cell receptor(TCR)-CD3 family to three bovine syntenic groups was completed by using bovine x rodent somatic ...
-
Sunden, Sara Louise Faivre (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Starch-gel electrophoresis of enzymatic proteins, restriction fragment length polymorphisms and random amplified polymorphic DNA w ere used to evaluate population structures of three species of Penaeid shrimp: Penaeus ...
-
Wright, Bradley Allen (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Data from 75 F2 Brahman-Hereford cows of four specific breed combinations, F2 HB (produced by F1 HB sires x F1 HB dams, where âÂÂHBâ refers to cattle sired by Hereford bulls and out of Brahman cows), F2 BH (produced ...
-
Kelley, Michael Francis (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The mechanism of induction of cytochrome P-450 monooxygenasees by phenobarbital and a variety of structurally diverse xenobiotics (e.g., polyhalogenated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides) is not well understood. Recently, ...
-
Baradji, Issa (2010-01-16)Babesia microti is a tickborne hemoprotozoan parasite that causes the disease babesiosis in humans. Babesia microti Apical Membrane Antigen-1 (AMA-1) is a micronemal protein suspected to play a role in erythrocyte invasion. ...
-
Breider, Michael August (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The influence of interferon (IFN) on determining resistance in mice to Sendai virus pneumonia was studied in a resistant (C57BL/6) and susceptible (DBA/2) strain of mouse. A 100 fold difference in mortality was observed ...

Structural, Functional and Evolutionary Characterization of Sense-Antisense Transcripts in Mammals Dickens, Charles (2010-07-14)Sense-antisense transcripts (SATs) are messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts that have regions that are complementary to regions of other mRNA transcripts. SATs may play an influential role in the regulation of gene expression. ...
