Applying deep learning technologies to discovery and characterization of genetic variants in animal genomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] The scale of publicly available genomic data has rapidly expanded by an order of magnitude within the last decade. However, research with these aggregated public data requires minimizing the ... -
Discovery and phenotyping of the determinants and receptors of post-fertilization sperm mitophagy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] This thesis is concerned with two important aspects of sperm physiology -- mitochondrial health prior to fertilization and mitochondrial inheritance after fertilization. The factors and mechanisms ... -
Host immune response to a bacterial toxin at single-nuclei resolution in the chicken
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)Understanding the intricate dynamics of the host immune response to a bacterial pathogen, including both the innate and adaptive systems, to a bacterial pathogen is crucial for improving our knowledge of avian immunology, ... -
Improving the value of pigs with severe combined immunodeficiency through novel transplantation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] Continual rapid advances in biomedical research necessitate the efficient development of animal models that translate findings from preclinical studies into the clinics. Traditional animal models ... -
Mapping copy number variants across the cattle genome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)Copy number variation across individuals is known to be associated with traits such as gene expression, disease resistance, and other phenotypic variations. Due to improvements in accurately detecting genotypic variation ... -
Modulation of bovine preimplantation embryonic development and pregnancy by FGF2, LIF, and IGF1
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] In vitro embryo production enhances genetic selection through capitalizing on superior genetics, improving fertility, and increasing animal efficiency, all of which contribute to sustainable ... -
The role of mitochondria in early-onset preeclampsia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] Placental mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in the etiology of early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE). Mitochondrial function is impaired at term in placentas delivered from EOPE pregnancies, ... -
A systems approach to deriving carcass value from Holstein x SimAngus cattle in an accelerated finishing model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] Beef x dairy has increased in popularity, altering the U.S fed beef supply. The objective of this dissertation was to evaluate the effect of Holstein x SimAngus (Hol x SimAngus) breeding and ...
