The endomembrane system is one of the hallmark features of all eukaryotes that distinguishes them from prokaryotes. Compared to bacteria and archaea, eukaryotic cells consist of biochemically and functionally distinct membranous compartments such as the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus,...

A technique is described for meausuring increases in bone length during defined periods before slaughter in cattle. It consists of jugular infusions of oxytetracycline at specified time intervals. Oxytetracycline identifies the sites of ossification in growing bones at the time of infusion by...

Application of genomics-based tools leading to the identification of markers on bovine chromosome 14 influencing milk production and carcass quality traits
DownloadFall 2009
Genetic improvements in beef and dairy cattle can bring significant advances in satisfying the global food demand, which is expected to double by 2050. Several DNA markers have been identified on bovine chromosome 14 (BTA14), but low mapping resolution prevents their refinement for identification...

Assessing the Feasibility of Learning Biomedical Phenotype Patterns Using High-Throughput Omics Profiles
DownloadSpring 2014
A decade after the completion of the human genome project, the rapid advancement of the high-throughput measurement technologies has made omics (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics) profiling feasible. The availability of such omics profiles has raised the hope for the...

Abstract The ability to identify and remove sub-fertile boars from the breeding herd is critical to improving reproductive efficiency of pork production systems. Use of semen from sires exhibiting sub-fertility can result in decreased sow pregnancy and farrowing rates, as well as smaller litter...

This research examines the applications of novel technologies (nanotechnology and genomics) and the public’s purchasing intentions in the Canadian food industry (national online surveys). Canadian consumers’ preferences and their willingness to pay for four hypothetical products treated with two...

Studies on beetle/tree fungal symbionts typically characterize the ecological and geographic distributions of the fungal populations. There is limited understanding of the genome-wide evolutionary processes that act within and between species as such fungi adapt to different environments, leading...

Worldwide, forest pathogens are a major cause of forest disturbances and can impact economic revenues and endanger host species and their ecosystems. Genomics represents one of the most promising avenues to better understand and prevent forest disease epidemics. Pathogen genome characterization...

This thesis evaluates economic impact of adoption of crops developed by means of modern genomic tools. The economic impact of these improved crops is looked at from two different angles: the welfare implications from trading improved crops on the world market, and the benefits of adopting...

The relative growth and distribution of bone from 256 bovine carcasses were compared among three breed-types (British, up to 30% Charolais and 30-50% Charolais) and three \"sexes\" (heifers, steers and bulls) over a wide range in carcass weight.
