Genetically Based Effects of Domesticated-Wild Outbreeding in Atlantic Salmon
(2013-10-15)Rapid advances in the aquaculture industry pose an environmental challenge that is generated by outbreeding between escaped domesticated and wild individuals. Given that escapees genetically differ from wild individuals ... -
The Genome of Blastocystis sp. Isolated from the Oriental cockroach
(2019-11-28)Blastocystis spp. are unicellular anaerobic stramenopiles that inhabit the colons of a wide range of animals. Previous genome studies of Blastocystis were restricted to mammalian and avian-colonizing subtypes. To investigate ... -
Genome-Scale Metabolic Model Reconstruction and Validation
(2023-12-15)Microorganisms play a fundamental role in production of valuable products. Comprehending the complex metabolism of microorganisms is essential for enhancing the bioprocesses, leading to a profitable increase in both the ... -
Genome-wide Investigation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Type III Secretion System-1 Regulation and Chitin Metabolism
(2022-08-23)Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading cause of seafood-borne gastroenteritis in humans following the consumption of contaminated seafood, and is a consequential organism for aquaculture and human health. To generate ... -
Genomic analyses for feed efficiency traits in American mink
(2023-12-22)Feed efficiency is a key factor in the economic outcomes of mink production systems, as the cost of feed accounts for the largest portion of their variable expenses. So far, the Canadian mink industry has relied solely on ... -
Genomic Ancestry Estimation in Interspecific Grape Hybrids
(2014-04-09)The genus Vitis (the grapevine) is a group of highly diverse, diploid woody perennial vines consisting of approximately 60 species from across the northern hemisphere. To gain insights into the use of wild Vitis species ... -

The Genomic Basis and Spatial Scale of Variation in Thermal Responses of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua)
(2021-05-05)The thesis investigates the genomic basis and spatial scale of variation in thermal responses of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), with the over-arching aim of improving our understanding of plastic and evolutionary responses ... -
GENOMIC IMPRINTING IN Drosophila melanogaster: EPIGENETIC REGULATION OF THE Dp(1;f)LJ9 IMPRINTED DOMAIN
(2010-08-30)Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon whereby the expression of a gene, chromosomal region, or entire chromosome, depends on the sex of the transmitting parent. Imprinting results in an otherwise fully functional ... -
Genomic Perspectives for Conservation and Management of Atlantic Cod in Coastal Labrador
(2017-04-27)This thesis examines genomic differentiation between the Gilbert Bay and offshore Atlantic Cod populations in Newfoundland and Labrador. First, I determine whether the Gilbert Bay cod population qualifies as a conservation ... -
Genomic Studies of Reproductive Performance and Fur Quality Traits in American Mink
(2024-03-28)This thesis aimed to enhance reproductive performance and pelt quality traits in American mink (Neogale vison) using genomics approaches. Chapter 3 involved estimation of genetic and phenotypic parameters for pelt quality ... -
Genotypic Variability among Diverse Red clover Cultivars for Nitrogen Fixation and Transfer
(2013-08-02)Legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen (N) via symbiotic biological N fixation where part of the N fixed by legumes can be transferred to non-legumes. Identification of genotypic variability for N transfer among different legume ...
