Spring 2022
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,...

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...

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...

Investigating early life microbial and host transcriptomic dynamics in the bovine gastrointestinal tract
DownloadSpring 2019
There is increasing concern surrounding the ability of livestock industries to meet the needs of the rising global population. The gastrointestinal microbiota of ruminants plays a critical role in feed degradation, host energy supply, but is also a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse...

Molecular and Machine Learning Based Characterization of Human Skeletal Muscle to Decipher Complex Biological Processes Governing Muscle Wasting in Surgical Patients with Cancer
DownloadSpring 2023
Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by progressive loss of weight (WL), muscle, and fat tissues. Skeletal muscle wasting, in particular, is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying muscle wasting in humans...
