The aim of our study was to determine if the gene Stat92E influenced locomotion in response to alcohol exposure. Previous research suggested that Stat92E may …
Gene regulation is crucial to cellular function, driving cell fate decisions through transcription and RNA processing. Both transcription and splicing occur on chromatin and are …
Cis-regulatory-modules are the “computational unit” of the gene regulatory network. CRMs are where transcription factors bind and activate the production of more transcription factors or …
In recent years, attempts at mapping neuronal circuitry have become more effective with the advent of new technologies that can label precise synapses and provide …
Psychostimulant drugs including amphetamines have been employed for a wide range of applications across diverse populations. These include prescription medications for conditions such as ADHD …
Preterm birth disparately impacts different groups of women based on a number of risk factors. Nearly half of the risk is attributed to genetic factors. …
As the Earth’s climate is rapidly changing, it has become increasingly important to understand how to improve agricultural output, crop productivity, and crop viability. By …
Over the past decade, genome-wide associations studies (GWAS) and other methods have used human genetic data to successfully identify thousands of genomic elements underpinning complex …
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a group of genetic lipid metabolic disorders resulting in elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and up to a 20-fold increased chance …
In genetics, one fundamental goal is to understand which mutations in the human genome have significant effects on complex traits and diseases. Achieving this goal …
The progression from embryo to reproductive adult to death describes the fundamental life history of an organism. From the perspective of evolutionary biology, life histories …
This dissertation is motivated by complex data architectures—typical in genetics research—that break the assumptions of classical frequentist analyses. Predictors are not necessarily independent nor fewer …
This dissertation examines the constitutive relation of gender and performance to knowledge production in the genetic sciences in twentieth and twenty-first century US. In recent …
Preterm birth (PTB) can lead to both short-term and long-term complications that can define a person's life, and why this variation, sometimes extreme, in the …
By using the Julia programming language, we retrieved studies and datasets using the terms \u201cpreterm\u201d and \u201cparturition\u201d in the PubMed and GEO datasets from 1997 …
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder following Alzheimer’s disease. By the time motor symptoms manifest, a significant proportion of nigrostriatal neurons …
