Transcriptome-Based Gene Networks For Systems-Level Analysis Of Plant Gene Functions, Chirag Gupta
Transcriptome-Based Gene Networks For Systems-Level Analysis Of Plant Gene Functions, Chirag Gupta
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Present day genomic technologies are evolving at an unprecedented rate, allowing interrogation of
cellular activities with increasing breadth and depth. However, we know very little about how the
genome functions and what the identified genes do. The lack of functional annotations of genes
greatly limits the post-analytical interpretation of new high throughput genomic datasets. For plant
biologists, the problem is much severe. Less than 50% of all the identified genes in the model plant
Arabidopsis thaliana, and only about 20% of all genes in the crop model Oryza sativa have some
aspects of their functions assigned. Therefore, there is an …
Genome Wide Association And Next Generation Sequencing Approaches To Map Determinants Of Ascites In Broiler Chickens, Shatovisha Dey
Genome Wide Association And Next Generation Sequencing Approaches To Map Determinants Of Ascites In Broiler Chickens, Shatovisha Dey
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
These studies have investigated different candidate genomic regions for their contributions to ascites in broilers. Ascites syndrome is a manifestation of idiopathic pulmonary arteriole hypertension that concerns the poultry industry worldwide. Investigations have demonstrated the disease to be genetically regulated and to exhibit moderate to high heritabilities. Although previous studies have indicated a few chromosomes to be involved with ascites, no genes have been identified to date with direct links to the disease. This dissertation presents a collection of studies that determine the genomic and genetic interactions for regions on chromosome 2 and 9 for ascites phenotypes in broiler chickens. …
