Roles for extra-hypothalamic oscillators in the avian clock
(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 ...
Land use and land cover change: the effects of woody plant encroachment and prescribed fire on biodiversity and ecosystem carbon dynamics in a southern great plains mixed grass savanna
(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 ...
Small sample feature selection
(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 ...
Genomic analyses of induced hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis in a mixed breed colony of dogs and developmental abnormalities in the Havanese
(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 ...
Control of rhythmic output from the circadian clock in Neurospora crassa
(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 ...
Transcript profiling of differentiating xylem of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)
(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 ...
Small sample multiple testing with application to cDNA microarray data
(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 ...
Topics in genomic image processing
(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 ...
Wide-cross whole-genome radiation hybrid (WWRH) mapping and identification of cold-responsive genes using oligo-gene microarray analysis in cotton
(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 ...
