Identification of genes and gene expression associated with dispersal capacity in the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Download2021-07-01
Shegelski, Victor A., Evenden, Maya L., Huber, Dezene P. W., Sperling, Felix A. H.
Dispersal flights by the mountain pine beetle have allowed range expansion and major damage to pine stands in western Canada. We asked what the genetic and transcriptional basis of mountain pine beetle dispersal capacity is. Using flight mills, RNA-seq and a targeted association study, we...

Intersections of animal production practices on meat quality, intramuscular collagen and expression of genes related to collagen and myofibrillar synthesis and degradation
DownloadSpring 2022
Beef quality, particularly tenderness, continues to be a major challenge in the beef industry resulting in significant economic losses. Beef tenderness is influenced by genetic factors, especially the expression of genes associated with collagen and collagen crosslink synthesis, live production...

Linking genotype to phenotype to identify genetic variation relating to host susceptibility in the mountain pine beetle system
Download2020-01-01
Cullingham, Catherine I., Peery, Rhiannon M., Fortier, Colleen E., Mahon, Elizabeth L., Cooke, Janice E. K., Coltman, David W.
Identifying genetic variants responsible for phenotypic variation under selective pressure has the potential to enable productive gains in natural resource conservation and management. Despite this potential, identifying adaptive candidate loci is not trivial, and linking genotype to phenotype is...

Cardiac transplantation is a life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage heart disease, but it is limited by a shortage of suitable donor hearts. Strategies to expand the donor organ pool include the use of extended donor criteria and hearts donated after circulatory determination of death....

Monitoring Macrophage Immune Gene Expression Profiles as an Early Indicator System for Examining the Bioactivity of Oil Sands Process Affected Waters
DownloadFall 2021
Oil sands process-affected waters (OSPW) are by-products of bitumen (i.e. oil) extraction from the oil sands located in northern Alberta. These large volumes of water are held in tailings ponds and cannot be released due to their potential toxic effects. Overall, tailings ponds and mining...

Background:Gene expression profiling in blood is a potential source of biomarkers to evaluate or predict phenotypic differences between pigs but is expensive and inefficient because of the high abundance of globin mRNA in porcine blood. These limitations can be overcome by the use of QuantSeq...
