    JEFFREY STREELMAN; Fiscal Year: 2007
    ..tricuspid teeth. Using fingerprinted BAG libraries in the closely-related tilapia, I will generate a minimum tiling path across this region and sequence overlapping clones at 30-50x coverage, ..
  2. Gene networks regulating sex determination in vertebrates
    Thomas D Kocher; Fiscal Year: 2010
    ..to quantify the normal pattern of gene expression in the developing gonads of our model system, the Nile tilapia. We will then examine the spatial and temporal expression of candidate sex-determining genes within this ..

  6. National Resources for Aplysia
    Patrick Walsh; Fiscal Year: 2005
    ..Through this combination of production and basic research, we will improve the model system and extend its usefullness to other areas of research. ..
  7. CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF GLYCOCONJUGATES
    YUAN LEE; Fiscal Year: 2005
    ..These studies are significant from the evolutionary standpoint, since the occurrence of alpha-Gal in glycoproteins is rare in birds, and the responsible transferase seems to be different from that of mammals. ..

    Patrick Walsh; Fiscal Year: 2006
    ..Through this combination of production and basic research, we will improve the model system and extend its usefullness to other areas of research. ..
  9. Prenatal TCDD and postnatal autoimmune disease
    Steven Holladay; Fiscal Year: 2007
    ..The collective experiments are designed to detect alterations in fetal immune development caused by TCDD that underlie the worsened postnatal (postpubertal) autoimmune disease caused by this chemical. ..
  10. CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF GLYCOCONJUGATES
    YUAN LEE; Fiscal Year: 1999
    ..We will design substrates for the enzymes of this type based on energy transfer or quenching of fluorescence. ..
