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...

Fall 2009
Pig follicle development is a complex but poorly understood process involving both gonadotrophins and local ovarian factors. A series of studies sought to investigate these intrafollicular cell-to-cell interactions. Microarray analysis combined with gene ontology revealed that the oocyte,...

Maternal and Paternal Genomes Differentially Affect Myofibre Characteristics and Muscle Weights of Bovine Fetuses at Midgestation
Download2013
Kruk, Z. A., Xiang R., Rutley, D. L., Thomsen, D. A., Anderson, G. I., Fitzsimmons, C., Ghanipoor-Samami, M., Hiendleder, S., Roberts, C. T., Eindorf, T., Burns, B. M., Greenwood, P. L., Johns, W. H.
Postnatal myofibre characteristics and muscle mass are largely determined during fetal development and may be significantly affected by epigenetic parent-of-origin effects. However, data on such effects in prenatal muscle development that could help understand unexplained variation in postnatal...

MicroRNA Buffering and Altered Variance of Gene Expression in Response to Salmonella Infection
Download2014
Plastow, G. S., Bao, H., Kommadath, A., Guan, L. L., Tuggle, C. K., Stothard, P.
One potential role of miRNAs is to buffer variation in gene expression, although conflicting results have been reported. To investigate the buffering role of miRNAs in response to Salmonella infection in pigs, we sequenced miRNA and mRNA in whole blood from 15 pig samples before and after...

Molecular cloning, pharmacological characterization and brain mapping of the melanocortin 4 receptor in the goldfish: Involvement in the control of food intake
Download2003
Schioth, H.B., Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E., Ringholm, A.
We report cloning, pharmacological characterization, tissue distribution, detailed brain mapping, and role in control of food intake of melanocortin 4 receptor in goldfish (gMC4R). The gMC4R protein has 68% identity with the human ortholog and is conserved in important functional domains....

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...

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...
