Genome-wide analysis of zygotic linkage disequilibrium and its components in crossbred cattle
Download2012
Jiang, Q., Wang, Z., Yang, R. C., Moore, S. S.
Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genes at linked or independent loci can occur at gametic and zygotic levels known asgametic LD and zygotic LD, respectively. Gametic LD is well known for its roles in fine-scale mapping of quantitative trait loci, genomic selection and evolutionary...

Improving feed efficiency has become a top priority in beef cattle production because of the rapidly increasing cost of feed provision. However, because of the expense associated with collecting individual animal feed intake data, only a relatively small number of animals have been tested,...

Modulation of Spontaneous Neural Network Bursting in Newborn Rat Brain Slices by Extracellular Calcium, Methylxanthines, and Opioids
DownloadFall 2012
Spontaneous neuronal bursting appears to be pivotal for brain maturation. This thesis studied such synchronized neural network oscillations in immature newborn rat hippocampus, cortex, and locus coeruleus. For this, horizontal brain slices were generated for (simultaneous) suction electrode...

The development of efficacious anticancer therapies has significantly improved the prognosis of childhood cancer patients at the price of predisposing survivors to extensive chronic health problems. Although not fatal, reducing treatment-related hearing loss (ototoxicity) among childhood cancer...

Common variants APOC3, APOA5, APOE and PON1 are associated with variation in plasma lipoprotein traits in Greenlanders
Download2007-12-01
Lahiry, Piya, Ban, Matthew R., Pollex, Rebecca L., Sawyez, Cynthia G., Huff, Murray W., Young, T. Kue, Bjerregaard, Peter, Hegele, Robert A.
"Objectives: We undertook studies of the association between common genomic variations in APOC3, APOA5, APOE and PON1 genes and variation in biochemical phenotypes in a sample of Greenlanders. Study Design: Genetic association study of quantitative lipoprotein traits. Methods: In a sample of...

Wang, Jian, Burnett, John R., Near, Susan, Young, T. Kue, Zinman, Bernard, Hanley, Anthony J. G., Connelly, Philip W., Harris, Stewart B., Hegele, Robert A.
"Mutations in ABCA1, a member of the ATP-binding cassette family, have been shown to underlie Tangier disease (TD) and familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia (FHA), which are genetic disorders that are characterized by depressed concentrations of plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. An...

Low maternal, gestational weight gain is associated with preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, low birthweight, small-for-gestational-age infants, neural tube defects, infant death, failure to initiate breastfeeding, and childhood asthma. The advantage of qualitative research is it can...

Cannabis use is a known risk factor for the development of psychotic disorders. Clinical and preclinical genetic studies provide growing evidence that genes related to dopamine signalling and neuroprotection, like COMT, are implicated in the cannabis-psychosis association. Considering the burden...

Application of genomics-based tools leading to the identification of markers on bovine chromosome 14 influencing milk production and carcass quality traits
DownloadFall 2009
Genetic improvements in beef and dairy cattle can bring significant advances in satisfying the global food demand, which is expected to double by 2050. Several DNA markers have been identified on bovine chromosome 14 (BTA14), but low mapping resolution prevents their refinement for identification...

Investigation of transcriptional and translational regulation of the Neurospora crassa alternative oxidase
DownloadFall 2018
Mitochondria are organelles found in most eukaryotes and supply the cell with the majority of its energy needs in the form of ATP. Most of the proteins needed for mitochondrial function are nuclear encoded. Therefore, mitochondria communicate their functional status to the nucleus, resulting in...
