Carotid atherosclerosis is responsible for 15-25% of the nearly 8 million first-ever ischemic strokes that occur each year worldwide. This proportion has remained constant over the past three decades, thus suggesting that some patients with carotid atherosclerosis currently receive suboptimal...

Comparison of physiology and genome-wide expression in two Nitrosomonas spp. under batch cultivation
DownloadFall 2014
Ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) play a central role in the nitrogen cycle by oxidizing ammonia to nitrite. Nitrosomonas europaea ATCC 19718 has been the single most studied AOB that has contributed to our understanding of chemolithotrophic ammonia oxidation. As a closely related species,...

Technical report TR03-06. Given a set of species and their similarity data, an important problem in evolutionary biology is how to reconstruct a phylogeny (also called evolutionary tree) so that species are close in the phylogeny if and only if they have high similarity. Assume that the...

Diversity of ABC transporter genes across the plant kingdom and their potential utility in biotechnology
Download2016-05-31
Rempe, Caroline S , Stewart, C Neal , Melhonian, Michael , Wong, Gane Ka-Shu , Staton, Margaret E , Lane, Thomas S Lane, Deyholos, Michael , Peng, Yanhui , Davitt, Jack , Soltis, Douglas Edward
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter gene superfamily is ubiquitous among extant organisms and prominently represented in plants. ABC transporters act to transport compounds across cellular membranes and are involved in a diverse range of biological processes. Thus, the applicability to...

Heuristics Search Project Report: Evaluation of the search algorithims in Multiple Sequence Alignment
Download2006
Technical report TR06-02. Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a controversial problem in computational biology. This particular problem computes the similarity based on the biological properties of nuclei acid (or amino acid) among the DNA strands (or protein sequences). In this project, we...

Identification of functional genes for feed efficiency traits via transcriptome analyses to enhance the genomic prediction accuracy in beef cattle
DownloadFall 2019
Residual feed intake (RFI), a measure of feed efficiency, and its component traits including average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI) and metabolic weight (MWT) are traits of great economic importance to the beef industry. The genetic improvement of these traits can improve the...

Identification of genes associated with ricinoleic acid accumulation in Hiptage benghalensis via transcriptome analysis
Download2018-12-16
Tian, Bo, Lu, Tianquan, Xu, Yang, Wang, Ruling, Chen, Guanqun
Background: Ricinoleic acid is a high-value hydroxy fatty acid with broad industrial applications.Hiptage benghalensis seed oil contains a high amount of ricinoleic acid (~80%) and represents an emerging source of this unusual fatty acid. However, the mechanism of ricinoleic acid accumulation in...

Insights into temperature adaptation in the Thermotogae gained through transcriptomics and comparative genomics
DownloadFall 2014
Thermophilic microbes are extremophiles that live at high temperatures. In order to survive and maintain function of their biological molecules, they have a suite of characteristics not found in organisms that grow at moderate temperatures (mesophiles) that range from the cellular to the protein...
