Fagundes De Avila, Felipe (2014-08-06)The development of gene maps constitutes a key feature for understanding genome architecture and comparative evolution. The genomes of some livestock species such as cattle, horses and pigs, have received considerable ...

Halley-Schultz, Yvette A (2015-12-12)Wild populations of northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus; hereafter bobwhite) have declined across most of their historic U.S. range, and despite their importance as an experimental wildlife model for ecotoxicology ...

Dubie, Joseph James (2022-01-13)Despite mitochondrial DNA being one of the most popular and powerful molecular markers used to study eukaryotic evolution, much about its biology remains poorly understood. Mitochondrial genomes are challenging to engineer, ...
-
Mason, Victor C (2012-07-11)It has been the goal of biologists to catalog and protect genetic diversity and variation among biological organisms. The amount of diversity cataloged is growing every year. In the twelve years between the latest two ...

Davis, Brian W (2013-05-13)Hybrid male sterility (HMS) is typically the first mechanism fortifying reproductive isolation resulting from genomic incompatibilities. Three interspecies feline breeds derived from domestic cat crosses to wild cat species ...

In Vitro Models for High-Throughput Hazard, Dose-Response, and Toxicodynamic Variability Assessments Burnett, Sarah Delena (2021-08-18)Traditional drug and chemical safety testing is performed in vivo using multiple animal species, but these models are expensive, time-consuming, and low-throughput. Furthermore, poor understanding of inter-species and ...

Downs, Bridgett Benedict (2018-07-03)Heermann’s kangaroo rats (Dipodomys heermanni; Rodentia: Heteromyidae) are endemic to California and primarily found in the dry, gravelly grassland and open chaparral habitats of the San Joaquin Valley. Current taxonomy ...

Mason, Victor Christian (2016-05-06)The ability to uncover the phylogenetic history of archived museum material with molecular techniques has rapidly improved due to the reduced cost and increased sequence capacity of next-generation sequencing technologies. ...
-
Myers, Alexandra Nichole (2021-07-14)In recent years, a surge in cases of chronic and treatment resistant dermatophytosis (ringworm) in humans has brought renewed interest in studying this disease. Persian cats are prone to developing a severe form of ...

Sex Chromosome Evolution in Felidae and its Potential Effects on Meiotic Drive and Hybrid Sterility Brashear, Wesley Allen (2019-04-26)The main motivation for this dissertation research was to gain a better understanding of mammalian sex chromosome evolution and its contribution to reproductive isolation between species. We first conducted a comparative ...

Bredemeyer, Kevin Ross (2021-07-12)Complex and highly repetitive regions are absent from nearly all genome assemblies and are often referred to as genomic “dark matter”. Many of these regions also harbor large copy number repeats and/or other structural ...

Castellanos, Adrian Andrés (2019-09-25)My work examines the biodiversity and biogeographic patterns of Central American mammals at multiple scales to better understand potential drivers of diversity across this region. Central America is home to a diverse ...
