(2019-12-05)
Renewable energy sources, such as solar energy or geothermal energy, are promising to complement or even substitute unsustainable fossil fuel energy sources in direct thermal energy utilization. The requirement of a reliable ...
Molecular Ecology of Peromyscus polionotus
(2006-08-15)
Lowe et al. (2004) describes ecological genetics as “the investigation of the origin and maintenance of genetic variation within and between populations, which ultimately leads to adaptation and speciation.” Thus, to gain ...
Molecular Epidemiology and Genetic Analysis of Staphylococcus species in Companion Animal Medicine
(2012-05-01)
In human medicine, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading causes of bacterial infections in the United States (191). In veterinary medicine, an increased number of multidrug-resistant ...

Factor genes from DNA and RNA datasets. To ...
Molecular Interactions between phage and the catfish pathogen Edwardsiella ictaluri and Comparative Genomics of Epidemic strains of Aeromonas hydrophila
(2012-12-05)
Edwardsiella ictaluri causes Enteric Septicemia of Catfish (ESC) which is responsible for significant economic loss of the catfish aquaculture industry in the southeastern United States. A better diagnostic tool is required ...
Molecular Investigations of the Diversity of Freshwater Fishes across Three Continents
(2020-07-02)
Fishes are the most speciose vertebrates, and incredible diversity can be found within different groups of fish. Due to their physiological limitations, fish are confined to waters, and in freshwater fish, this is restricted ...
Molecular Mechanisms Associated with Canine Cyclic Hematopoiesis
(2008-05-15)
Canine cyclic hematopoiesis (CH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by 12-14 day neutrophil cycles, a diluted coat color, and platelet storage pool disease. Canine CH is caused by a mutation in AP3B1, encoding ...
Molecular Mechanisms of Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase-Mediated Pyrethroid Resistance in the House Fly, Musca domestica (L.)
(2007-08-15)
A wild-type pyrethroid resistant house fly strain, ALHF, was collected from a poultry farm in Alabama after control failure with permethrin (a pyrethroid insecticide). It was further selected with permethrin for 6 generations ...
