(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Archaeologists have favored a date of 14,000-15,000 years before present (BP) for canine domestication. However, recent studies of mutations in the mitochondrial DNA sequence by molecular geneticists have implied that dogs ...

The efficacy of marker-assisted-selection for grain mold resistance in sorghum
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Five breeding populations were created by crossing elite U.S. sorghum parental lines (RTx430, RTx436, BTx631, BTx635, and Tx2903) with 'Sureño', a dual purpose grain mold resistant sorghum cultivar. Molecular markers ...
Examination of eukaryotic chaperonin-mediated nascent chain folding in the cytosol: a photocrosslinking approach
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
TRiC (TCP-1 ring complex), a type II chaperonin, facilitates protein folding, and we previously showed that TRiC crosslinks to ribosome-bound actin and luciferase nascent chains. Here, it was found that actin and luciferase ...
