A Century of Conservation Genetics of the Lion (Panthera leo)
(2019-08-14)Lions are a flagship species, meaning that as a large, charismatic carnivore, research and conservation for the lion influences many other species that share its habitat. Proper management requires understanding of a ... -
Analysis and Optimization of Classifier Error Estimator Performance within a Bayesian Modeling Framework
(2012-07-16)With the advent of high-throughput genomic and proteomic technologies, in conjunction with the difficulty in obtaining even moderately sized samples, small-sample classifier design has become a major issue in the biological ... -
Functional genomics of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942
(2009-05-15)Unicellular freshwater cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 is the model organism for studying the circadian clock in cyanobacteria. Despite tremendous work over the last decade in identification of clock-related ... -
Genetic Mechanisms Behind Flower Color Variation in Caulanthus Amplexicaulis var. Amplexicaulis (CAA) and Caulanthus Amplexicaulis var. Barbarae (CAB)
(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 ... -
Genetic susceptibility to Rhodococcus equi
(2015)Rhodococcus equi pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal foals. Much effort has been made to identify preventative measures and new treatments for R. equi with limited success. With a growing focus ... -
Genomic Contributions to Beef Cow Stayability
(2019-05-30)Beef cow reproductive longevity represents the cumulation of a lifetime of fertility and production traits and is an important contributor to a producer’s profitability. Stayability is a component of longevity, and is often ... -
Genomic Differences Between Highly Fertile and Sub-Fertile Holstein Dairy Heifers
(2012-07-16)Infertility in dairy cattle remains a major economic loss to dairy producers. Identifying dairy cattle with superior genetic potential for improved fertility would increase dairy farm profitability. Dairy heifers were ... -
Genomic Landscapes of Cardiac Arrhythmia and Heart Regeneration
(2015-06-16)Use of high-throughput sequencing technology has revolutionized our ability to study heart development and regeneration. However, extracting crucial information from large-scale datasets is challenging. Here we demonstrated ... -
HiMMe, A Next-Generation Sequencing Quality Assessment and Correction Tool Based on Hidden Markov Models
(2016-04-26)Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) play a crucial role in the existence and proper development of all living organisms. In addition, it is through these molecules that the genetic information is ... -
Identification of a mutation in COL4A5 causative for X-linked Alport syndrome in the domestic dog and analysis of gene expression in the kidneys of affected and nonaffected siblings
(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 ... -
Implementation of genomics and bioinformatics approaches for identification and characterization of tomato ripening-related genes
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Initial activities were focused on isolation and characterization of fruit ripening-related genes from tomato. Screening of four tomato cDNA libraries at low stringency with 10 fruit development and ripening-related genes ... -
Phylogeny and Predicted Functional Capabilities of a Sulfur-Oxidizing and Denitrifying Clade of Bacteroidetes from Sulfidic Environments
(2018-06-14)Environments rich in sulfur compounds (sulfidic) are common in the ocean, and the ability to gain energy (dissimilatory) from sulfur redox reactions is widespread in bacteria. The Sulfiphilic Bacteroidetes (SB), have been ... -
Systems Analysis of Metabolism and Physiology of the Oil-Producing Green Alga Botryococcus braunii Race B (Showa)
(2018-11-26)The colony-forming green microalga Botryococcus braunii is mostly known for its ability to produce an abundance of liquid hydrocarbons. However, geochemical studies have found fossilized remains of the species in petroleum ...
