Wilkinson, Jamie M., Ladinig, Andrea, Bao, Hua, Kommadath, Arun, Stothard, Paul, Lunney, Joan K., Harding, John C. S., Plastow, Graham S.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection of pregnantfemales causes fetal death and increased piglet mortality, but there is substantial variationin the extent of reproductive pathology between individual dams. This study used RNA-sequencing to characterize the whole...

Van Goor, Angelica, Pasternak, Alex, Walker, Kristen, Hong, Linjun, Malgarin, Carolina, MacPhee, Daniel J., Harding, John C. S., Lunney, Joan K.
Background:A pregnant gilt infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) can transmit the virus to her fetuses across the maternal-fetal-interface resulting in varying disease outcomes. However,the mechanisms leading to variation in fetal outcome in response to PRRSV...

Effect of breed type and residual feed intake on meat and collagen quality and expression of genes involved in collagen synthesis and degradation in bovine m. gluteus medius
DownloadSpring 2020
Residual feed intake (RFI) is an index of feed efficiency that has been demonstrated to be moderately heritable, with cattle having low RFI values being efficient as they consume less feed for the same weight gain. This may be of financial benefit to producers, but to be fully beneficial to...

While many studies have evaluated wildlife passage effectiveness, few have explored how accurately passage activity can be modelled. I created a habitat suitability index (HSI) model for American mink (Neovison vison) using Geographic Information Systems with 17 wildlife passages located in Quebe...

High-dimensional data mining: subspace clustering, outlier detection and applications to classification
DownloadSpring 2010
Data mining in high dimensionality almost inevitably faces the consequences of increasing sparsity and declining differentiation between points. This is problematic because we usually exploit these differences for approaches such as clustering and outlier detection. In addition, the exponentially...
