Title: GENETIC MECHANISMS OF OZONE TOLERANCE IN SOYBEAN AND METHODS OF EVOLUTIONARY DISTANCE
Author: Whaley, Adam
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Bioinformatics, Genetics
Description: At ground level, ozone is a pollutant that poses serious risk to both human health and crop yields. In addition to being a vital economic crop in the US and abroad, conventional soybean lines are susceptible to damage caused by ozone exposure. In ...

Title: Data Mining the Serous Ovarian Tumor Transcriptome
Author: Tickle, Timothy
Date Created: 2011
Subjects--Topical: Bioinformatics, Genetics
Description: Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer in the United States. If caught in early stages, patient survival rate is 94%, late stage survival rates drop to 28%. It is because most cases are caught in late stages that high mortality is se...

Title: Common Dietary and Environmental Compounds Promote a Leukemic Translocation in Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Differentiated Cells
Author: Vestal, Carol
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Molecular biology, Biology, Genetics
Description: Maternal exposure to topoisomerase II (topoII) inhibitors that are biochemically similar to the chemotherapeutic drug etoposide may promote infant acute leukemia. Several studies have shown that common dietary bioflavonoids as well as benzene meta...

Title: The role of the dopaminergic system in the regulation of physical activity in mice
Author: Knab, Amy
Date Created: 2009
Subjects--Topical: Molecular biology, Genetics, Physiology
Description: Physical activity (PA) is important to human health, and the genetic and biological regulating factors of physical activity are only beginning to be understood. The dopamine (DA) system has been shown to regulate motivation, and locomotor behavior...

Title: Sequencing and annotation of diploid oat genomes and the investigation of Avena-specific nutrients
Author: Walstead, Rachel
