Gene-expression profiling of calves 6 and 9 months after inoculation with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis
Download2014
David, Joel, De Buck, Jeroen, Barkema, Herman W., Guan, Leluo
Early detection of Johne's disease (JD) caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is essential to reduce transmission; consequently, new diagnostic techniques and approaches to detect MAP or markers of early MAP infection are being explored. The objective was to identify...

Genetic and phenotypic analysis of carbohydrate metabolism and transport in Lactobacillus reuteri
Download2018-01-01
Lactobacilli derive metabolic energy mainly from carbohydrate fermentation. Homofermentative and heterofermentative lactobacilli exhibit characteristic differences in carbohydrate transport and regulation of metabolism, however, enzymes for carbohydrate transport in heterofermentative...

Yang, Rong-Cai, Yeh, Francis C.
To counteract loss of genetic diversity crucial for current and future tree improvement, tree breeders have conserved forest genetic resources in situ in their natural ecosystems in protected areas or ex situ in plantations, seed orchards, and breeding arboreta. This article reviews the genetic...

Garcia-Hernandez, Rigoberto, Ruan, Lifang, Gänzle, Michael G., Zheng, Jinshui, Mercer, Ryan G., McMullen, Lynn M.
Escherichia coli AW1.7 is a heat resistant food isolate and the occurrence of pathogenic strains with comparable heat resistance may pose a risk to food safety. To identify the genetic determinants of heat resistance, 29 strains of E. coli that differed in their of heat resistance were analyzed...

Genetic variation and climatic impacts on survival and growth of white spruce in Alberta, Canada
Download2007-01-01
Rweyongeza, Deogratias M., Yang, Rong-Cai, Dhir, N. K., Barnhardt, L. K., Hansen, C.
Because climate has the greatest effect in determining the genetic structure of forest tree species, climatic variables with large effects on growth and survival need to be identified. This would enable proper matching of tree populations to planting sites in the present and future climates. We...

Genome sequence and activity of KS10, a transposable phage of the Burkholderia cepacia complex
Download2008
Lynch, Karlene H., Shrivastava, Savita, Seed, Kimberley D., Goudie, Amanda D., Wishart, David S., Stothard, Paul, Dennis, Jonathan J.
Background The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a versatile group of Gram negative organisms that can be found throughout the environment in sources such as soil, water, and plants. While BCC bacteria can be involved in beneficial interactions with plants, they are also considered...

Genome wide identification and functional prediction of long non-coding RNAs responsive to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infection in Brassica napus
Download2016
Rahman, Muhammad H., Megha, Swati, Joshi, Raj K., Basu, Urmila, Kav, Nat N. V.
Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum affects canola production worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in plants, in response to both abiotic and biotic stress. So far, identification of...

Genome-wide analysis of the transcriptional response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection at the maternal/fetal interface and in the fetus
Download2016
Ladinig, Andrea, Stothard, Paul, Bao, Hua, Hong, Linjun, Lunney, Joan K., Harding, John C. S., Wilkinson, Jamie M., Plastow, Graham S.
Background Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection of pregnant pigs can result in congenital infection and ultimately fetal death. Little is known about immune responses to infection at the maternal-fetal interface and in the fetus itself, or the molecular events...

Genome-wide association and genomic prediction of breeding values for fatty acid composition in subcutaneous adipose and longissimus lumborum muscle of beef cattle
Download2015
Ekine-Dzivenu, Chinyere, Basarab, John A., Li, Changxi, Chen, Liuhong, Vinsky, Michael D., Aalhus, Jennifer L., Fitzsimmons, Carolyn J., Stothard, Paul, Dugan, Mike E. R.
Background Identification of genetic variants that are associated with fatty acid composition in beef will enhance our understanding of host genetic influence on the trait and also allow for more effective improvement of beef fatty acid profiles through genomic selection and marker-assisted diet...

Genome-wide association for milk production and female fertility traits in Canadian dairy Holstein cattle
Download2016
Nayeri, Shadi, Stothard, Paul, Moore, Stephen S., Abo-Ismail, Mohammed K., May, Natalie, Schenkel, Flavio, Sargolzaei, Mehdi, Miller, Stephen P.
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a powerful tool for detecting genomic regions explaining variation in phenotype. The objectives of the present study were to identify or refine the positions of genomic regions affecting milk production, milk components and fertility traits in...
