Genome-wide Characterization of Heat Shock Proteins in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and Determination of Their Involvement in Diseases
(2014-11-24)
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) consist of a large group of chaperones whose expression is induced by a number of stresses such as exposures to high temperature, hypoxia and infection.
In this study, I identified a total of ...
Genome-wide comparative analysis of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
(2013-04-22)
Comparative map is a powerful tool to transfer the genomic information from well-studied model species to non-model species whose genomic resources are limited. Channel catfish is a primary aquaculture species in United ...
Genome-wide DNA Methylation and Transcriptome-wide Responses to a Bout of Higher- Versus Lower-load Resistance Training in Previously Trained Men
(2022-07-27)
We sought to determine how genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptome responses in skeletal muscle differed between one bout of lower-load versus higher-load resistance exercise. Previously trained college-aged males ...
Genomic Analyses of Hybridization and Speciation in Macaques
(2023-05-01)
Speciation, the origin of species, is a process fundamental to producing the current diversity of life, and has been a central subject of evolutionary biology for the past century. Hybridization, the mating of individuals ...
Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of genes involved in disease resistance against enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC) in catfish
(2018-11-08)
Catfish is the leading aquaculture species in the United States, accounting for over 50% of all U.S. aquaculture production. In recent years, catfish industry has been facing numerous challenges, including increased costs ...
Genomic Approaches to Characterization of the Innate Immune Response of Catfish to Bacterial Infection
(2007-05-15)
Genetic selection for disease resistance encoded in the genomes of blue catfish and channel catfish continues to hold the greatest potential for long-term solutions to aquaculture-based disease outbreaks. Progress towards ...
Genomic Characterization of Expressed Sequence Tags and Gene Expression Profiling of the Three Life-Cycle Stages of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis
(2010-05-05)
The ciliate protozoan Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) is an important parasite of freshwater fish that causes 'white spot’ disease. Ich is a major contributor of fish mortalities and economic loss to both the ornamental ...
Genomics of permthrin resistance in the Southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus Say
(2014-01-14)
The Southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus, is a vector of several human diseases including West Nile fever and St. Louis encephalitis, owing to its blood feeding behavior whereby the female takes multiple blood ...
Genotype-Environment Interactions For Growth, Survival, Sexual Dimorphism and Seinability For Different Genetic Types of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) ♀ X Blue Catfish (I. furcatus) ♂ Cultured In Three Environments
(2014-08-01)
For this study, eight genetic types of channel catfish (Ictarulus punctatus) female x blue catfish (I. furcatus) male hybrids were reared in three environments: a low density pond, a high density pond and an in-pond raceway ...
Genuine Sequential Estimation Procedures for Gamma Populations using Exact Evaluation Criteria
(2009-12-09)
In this dissertation, we develop genuine two-stage sequential procedures for bounded-risk and fixed-width confidence interval estimation for Gamma distributed populations, based on exact evaluation criteria. The term ...
A Geochemical and Hydrological Assessment of Oil and Related Compounds from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in Gulf Coastal Saltmarshes
(2013-08-02)
In April of 2010, the Macondo-1 wellhead ruptured in the Gulf of Mexico, releasing an estimated 4.9 million barrels of crude oil. Ten saltmarsh sites along the northern Gulf coast were investigated to determine the fate, ...
Geochemical Characterization of Groundwater and Mineralogical Assessment in Hatiya Island, Southeastern Coastal Region of Bangladesh
(2023-05-05)
Groundwater is a vital source of fresh water for drinking and agricultural purposes in the region of Hatiya Island, Bangladesh, yet is subject to contamination by natural and anthropogenic activities. To address this issue, ...
Geochemical Modeling Study of Shale–Brine–CO2 Interaction
(2021-05-04)
A promising large-scale mitigation option for reducing CO2 footprint is Geological Carbon Sequestration (GCS) in depleted oil and gas reservoirs and deep saline aquifers. This study investigated the interaction between CO2 ...
Geochemical Studies of the Battleship Rock Ignimbrite, Valles Caldera, New Mexico
(2023-08-07)
Valles Caldera is the third largest active super volcano in the United States. Despite this, it remains a poorly understood volcanic system. Evidence has been presented within the last 5 years that suggests that Valles ...
