A diversified exploration of beef cattle genetics: miRNA and beef bull fertility in beef and dairy female populations
… breeding. Topics explored include analysis of micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA) expression as it relates to quantitative traits, genetic analysis of sire conception rate (SCR) in dairy cow and beef heifer populations, and the genetic correlation between SCR in both populations. The objectives of …

Ultrasensitive quantification of circulating disease biomarkers through enzymatic labeling and single molecule counting
… of improved methods for the quantification of microRNA (miRNA) and protein in biological fluids. The first of my projects relates to the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA, one of the most exciting emerging classes of biomarkers. In recent years, miRNA in blood circulating have been identified …

Role of virus genes in seed and aphid transmission and development of a virus-induced gene silencing system to study seed development in soybean
… of seed transmission. The single amino acid mutation of G12 to D in the DAG motif of the CP and the amino acid Q264 to P in the C-terminus of the CP affected seed transmission of SMV. The aphid transmission study validated previous research and demonstrated that the amino acid motif DAG …

Enhancement of Dicer as a personalized anticancer strategy
Normal miRNA production is essential for regulating protein expression and cellular fate. Misregulation of miRNA production is emerging as a key factor in the development of many disease states, including most forms cancer. A global downregulation of miRNA processing is common among cancers and has …
