Allele-specific Expression of Ribosomal Protein Genes in Interspecific Hybrid Catfish

Chen, Ailu (2015-07-24)

Interspecific hybridization results in a vast reservoir of allelic variations, which may potentially contribute to phenotypical enhancement in the hybrids. Whether the allelic variations are related to the downstream ...

Assembly of 500,000 Inter-Specific Catfish Expressed Sequence Tags and Large Scale Gene-Associated Marker Development for Genome Selection Studies

Wang, Shaolin (2009-08-05)

Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) sequencing is one of the most efficient means for gene discovery and gene expression profiling. With a good resource of ESTs, a large number of molecular markers can be identified, and issues ...

Characterization of Innate Immune Genes of Catfish: CXC Chemokines and Toll-Like Receptors

Baoprasertkul, Puttharat (2006-05-15)

Innate immunity is known as the first line of defense against pathogenic invasions. Fish, as lower vertebrates, are believed to maintain their healthy status mostly by relying on their innate immunity. Of the many types ...

Characterization, Polymorphism Assessment, and Database Construction for Microsatellites from Bac End Sequences of Catfish: A Resource for Integration of Linkage and Physical Maps

Somridhivej, Benjaporn (2007-05-15)

To apply genome-based technologies for genetic improvements using markerassisted selection, genome research involving genetic linkage mapping and physical mapping is required, and integration of genetic and linkage maps ...

Demonstration for Integration of Genetic Linkage and Physical Maps of Catfish Using BAC-Anchored Microsatellites

Ninwichian, Parichart (2009-03-30)

Catfish is the major aquaculture species in the United States. The development of genetic linkage maps with high marker densities and the development of physical maps are important steps toward genome-enable genetic ...

Evaluation Of LHRHa Implants and Injections on the Production of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Female X Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) Male Fry

Hutson, Alison (2006-08-15)

The hybrid produced from the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) female and the blue catfish (I. furcatus) male has better culture traits than the primarily cultured channel catfish. Producing hybrid catfish has been ...

Evolution of Signal Divergence and Behavior in Cyprinella galactura, the whitetail shiner

Phillips, Catherine (2006-12-15)

Acoustic signaling in anurans, insects, birds, and mammals has played an important role as an interspecific isolating mechanism and is also believed to be a mechanism of sexual selection in intraspecific mate choice. A ...

Genetic Effects on the Production of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Female X Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) Male Hybrid Fry

Ballenger, Joseph (2007-08-15)

The hybrid from the mating of a female channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) with a male blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) exhibits heterosis for various performance traits which would make it attractive to the commercial ...

Genomic Approaches to Characterization of the Innate Immune Response of Catfish to Bacterial Infection

Peatman, Eric (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

Abernathy, Jason (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 ...

Isolation of Genes from Cold Acclimated Poncirus trifoliata and Citrus unshiu

Zhang, Cankui (2005-08-15)

Many adverse environmental conditions can affect the productivity and distribution of plant species. Low temperature is one of the most common stresses faced by many plants. Many plants are able to increase their freezing ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase-Mediated Pyrethroid Resistance in the House Fly, Musca domestica (L.)

Zhu, Fang (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 ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Pyrethroid Resistance in the Mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus (Say)

Xu, Qiang (2007-08-15)

Mosquitoes have been the ideal transmitters of a wide variety of disease agents due to their repeated blood feedings over their life span. Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) is an important disease vector in the Southeastern ...
