Territorial behaviour is widespread in the animal kingdom, with creatures seeking to gain parts of space for their exclusive use. It arises through a complicated interplay of many different behavioural features. Extracting and quantifying the processes that give rise to territorial patterns...

This thesis describes the application of mass spectrometry (MS) to glycoprotein and oligosaccharide analysis. Glycosylated proteins are involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix recognition. Applications of trypsin and proteinase K to hydrolyze glycoproteins into glycopeptides that are compatible...

An individual’s body weight is tightly regulated by balancing food intake with energy expenditure. This is accomplished in part by secretion of the hormone leptin by adipocytes, an excess of which signals to reduce appetite and increase activity through action in the hypothalamic region of the...

Emerging pathways in the regulation of whole body cholesterol flux: Therapeutic opportunities to target atherosclerosis?

Mangat, Rabban, Proctor, Spencer D.
INTRODUCTION: CVD remains one of the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Increased awareness of lifestyle factors (nutrition/exercise), as well as the refinement of lipid-lowering therapies, has availed some progress in reducing the incidence of CVD. Historically, the...

There has recently been great interest in applying theoretical quantitative genetic models to empirical studies of evolution in wild populations. However, while classical models assume environmental constancy, most natural populations exist in variable environments. Here, we applied a novel...

Expansion of ruminant-specific microRNAs shapes target gene expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species
Download2013
Kommadath, A., Bao, H., Meng, Y., Plastow, G. S., Stothard, P., Sun, X., Arantes, A. S., Guan, L. L.
Background Understanding how species-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to species-specific phenotypes is a central topic in biology. This study aimed to elucidate the role of ruminant-specific miRNAs in shaping mRNA expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species. ...

Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays normally give rise to certain percents of no-calls; the problem becomes severe when the target organisms, such as cattle, do not have a high resolution genomic sequence. Missing SNP genotypes, when related to target traits, would...

Fluorogenic and fluorescent bioorthogonal labelling strategies for examining glycoproteins and phospholipids
DownloadFall 2012
Traditional genetically-encoded imaging strategies are problematic for use in analysing cell surface interactions due to the heterogeneous nature of the cell surface, and the high level of post-translational modifications. Small molecule fluorophores can provide dynamic information on cell...
