Patterns of Genomic Variation and Whole Genome Association Studies of Economically Important Traits in Cattle
DownloadFall 2012
Functionally important genetic variations in cattle have great potential as tools to increase agricultural production once they are identified through association studies of phenotype and genotype. The objectives of this thesis were: 1) to characterize the genome-wide patterns of linkage...

Performance and Methane Emissions of RFI Selected Cattle in Drylot and Under Open Range Conditions
DownloadSpring 2018
Residual feed intake (RFI) is a moderately heritable trait that can be used to measure feed efficiency in beef cattle, and thereby reduce feed related costs. RFI has been primarily evaluated under drylot conditions where diet, feed intake and activity levels are controlled and foraging behaviour...

Protein interactions with glycolipids are implicated in diverse cellular processes. However, the study of protein–glycolipid complexes remains a significant experimental challenge. Here, we describe a powerful new assay that combines electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and...

One hundred-and-twelve yearling bulls were penned together for at least 3 mo in groups of 7 or 21. They were then shipped 150 km to an abattoir in groups of either 7 or 21, and were either regrouped or not regrouped before shipment. They were held overnight at the abattoir before slaughter. A...

Profiling and Identification of Post-Transcriptional Regulatory Molecules for Human Cancer Cachexia
DownloadSpring 2017
Cancer cachexia (CC) is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by severe depletion of skeletal muscle, with or without fat loss. A majority of cancer patients with incurable cancer are affected with cachexia and it remains an unmet medical need. Gene expression changes at the transcriptional...

Profiling and Identification of Small Non-coding RNAs as Prognostic Markers for Breast Cancer
DownloadFall 2016
Breast cancer (BC) continues to be one of the leading causes of cancer related death among women. Despite continuous progress in screening, diagnosis and treatment of BC, a subset of patients experience recurrence and/or death. Optimal management of BC has remained a challenge due to these...

Proteome differences associated with fat accumulation in bovine subcutaneous adipose tissues
Download2010
Basu, U., Guan, L., Dodson, M. V., Zhao, Y. M., Basarab, J. A.
Background The fat components of red meat products have been of interest to researchers due to the health aspects of excess fat consumption by humans. We hypothesized that differences in protein expression have an impact on adipose tissue formation during beef cattle development and growth....

Public Health Risk Assessment: Validation of risk assessment matrix limitations and an analytical approach to gene set reduction for continuous phenotype in microarray studies
DownloadSpring 2016
Although risk is a core element of public health practice, its definition varies greatly among various public health programs. Several methods have been developed for risk assessment and management in different contexts of public health to better understand disease progression and outcome...
