(2014-04-24)The expression of genes that control iron (Fe) uptake and distribution (i.e., Fe utilization- related genes) is under a strict regulation. Fe deficiency strongly induces Fe utilization- related gene expression; however, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Circadian rhythms are visible as daily oscillations in biochemical, physiological, or behavioral processes. These rhythms are produced by an endogenous clock that maintains synchrony with the external environment through ...
-
(2012-07-11)Vocal learning is the complex process by which an organism is able to modify its vocal output, such as birdsong or human speech, due to experience. The pathways used in the production and modification of human speech and ...
-
(2011-10-21)Behavior is a complex process resulting from the integration of genetic and environmental information. Thus, the genetically tractable Drosophila melanogaster was utilized to better understand the interplay between these ...
-
(2006-07-11)During the past 20 years, there has been a significant increase in the number of individuals developing type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Evidence from several studies indicates that obesity and weight gain (increase in ...
-
(2012-02-14)Equine laminitis is a debilitating disease that causes extreme sufferring in afflicted horses and often results in a lifetime of chronic pain. The exact sequence of pathophysiological events culminating in laminitis has ...
-
(2009-05-15)The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, is a unique model system for the dissection of hereditary diseases. Selective breeding practices have created more than 300 distinct breeds of dogs, born from a desire to create ...

Genomic Approaches to Study Innate Immune Response to Salmonella Enteritidis Infection in Chickens (2010-01-14)Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) is one of the most common food-borne pathogens that cause human salmonellosis. Contamination of consumed poultry products continues to be a global threat to public health. Genetic ...
-
(2012-02-14)In birds, estrogen is a strong stimulator of gene programs that regulate the formation of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). Apolipoprotein-B (ApoB) is an integral part of very low density lipoproteins. In mammals, ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2009-05-15)In the southern Great Plains, the encroachment of grassland ecosystems by mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), is widespread, and prescribed fire is commonly used in its control. Despite this, substantial quantitative information ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In a normal microarray classification problem there will be many genes, on the order of thousands, and few samples, on the order of tens. This necessitates a massive feature space reduction before classification can take ...
-
(2012-07-16)Light is the fundamental source of energy and information throughout the plant life cycle. Light signals regulate plant architecture and branching, key processes that determine biomass production and grain yield. Low red ...
-
(2009-05-15)Avian circadian clocks are composed of a distributed network of neural and peripheral oscillators. Three neural pacemakers, located in the pineal, the eyes, and the hypothalamus, control circadian rhythms of many biological ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)High-throughput technologies for rapid measurement of vast numbers of biolog- ical variables offer the potential for highly discriminatory diagnosis and prognosis; however, high dimensionality together with small samples ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Many tests have been developed for comparing means in a two-sample scenario. Microarray experiments lead to thousands of such comparisons in a single study. Several multiple testing procedures are available to control ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Global gene expression in Sorghum bicolor, an important crop showing drought tolerance in arid and semi-arid cultivated areas, was monitored to exposure of 8-days seedlings to water deficit (20% polyethylene glycol) or ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The image processing methodologies that have been actively studied and developed now play a very significant role in the flourishing biotechnology research. This work studies, develops and implements several image processing ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Wood formation (xylogenesis) is a critical developmental process for all woody land plants. As an initial step to understand the molecular basis for temporal and spatial regulation of xylogenesis and the effect of the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The first part of this research focused on wide-cross whole-genome radiation hybrid (WWRH) mapping of the cotton (Gossypium) genome. Radiation hybrid mapping has been used extensively to map the genomes of human and certain ...
