Williamson, Gayle Linger (2012-10-19)During early mammalian embryogenesis, the embryonic genome undergoes critical reprogramming events that include changes in both DNA methylation and histone modifications necessary to control chromatin structure and thus, ...

Howe, Selene Yelaine Fernandez (2018-12-03)The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a gene expressed in epithelial cells and is involved in a variety of diseases, including preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, embryonic lethality, diabetes, cardiac ...

Golding, Michael Cameron (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Bovine preimplantation embryos derived from nuclear transfer experiments exhibit a global state of genomic hypermethylation that likely account for the large number of developmental abnormalities observed to date. The ...

Browning, Richard (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Calves born to Brahman (B) cows and Angus (A), Brahman (B), or Tuli (T) sires were evaluated to determine sire breed of calf effects on preweaning calf traits and reproductive activity in the dams. Over 2 yr, 225 cow-calf ...

Stroud, Todd (2010-01-20)Embryos derived by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) produce few pregnancies that result in a live, healthy offspring. This has largely been attributed to the aberrant reprogramming of the somatic cell DNA used for ...
