Article investigating the potential effects of isorhamnetin (IH), a 3′-O-methylated metabolite of quercetin on the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) signaling cascade using proteomics technology platform, GC cell lines, and xenograft mice model. The study y proposes a novel agent for gastric cancer treatment.

Article studying an underappreciated complexity in pathways for synthesis and accumulation of Triacylglycerols from plants, familiar to most people as vegetable oils.

This article explores swimming stamina in fish. Mature adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were subjected to a swimming performance test and then bred within performance groups to discover if enhanced swimming stamina in offspring appears only in juveniles/adults, or if these traits appear as early as larvae.

This article measures the cardiac performance of Newfoundland Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The results: (1) show that maximum performance of the isolated cod heart is not compromised by exposure to cold temperatures; and (2) support data from other studies, which show that, in contrast to salmonids, cod cardiac performance/myocardial contractility is not dependent upon humoral adrenergic stimulation.

This article presents a study in which an in silico genome-scale metabolic model of steroidogenesis is used to investigate the effects of hypoxic stress on steroid hormone productions in fish. This article introduces a powerful model for pathway analysis that can lend insights on the effects of various stressor scenarios on metabolic functions.

This article explores the upper lethal temperature for Bobwhite eggs. Results find that thermal tolerances of Northern Bobwhite embryos are high, indicating an adaptation to the naturally occurring temperature extremes in the Bobwhite's environment. However, the results also indicate that high temperatures could have plausibly contributed to the population decline observed in the Bobwhite's semi-arid range.

Article reviews PPARγ as an antitumor agent and summarizes the antineoplastic effects of PPARγ agonists in prostate cancer.

Article on parasite presence in the critically endangered Darwin's fox (Pseudalopex fulvipes) in Chile. Parasites found include species and genera reported for the first time in Darwin's fox.

Article investigates the nature of the early flowering phenotype of AtFAAH overexpression.

Article describes the analysis of Arabidopsis metabolomics data sets acquired by a consortium that includes five analytical laboratories, bioinformaticists, and biostatisticians, which aims to develop and validate metabolomics as a hypothesis-generating functional genomics tool.

Article describes study which sought to to determine if the dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) reductase activity and chloroplast localization are required for the Arabidopsis thaliana SFD1 (suppressor of fatty acid desaturase deficiency1) gene’s involvement in galactolipid metabolism and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) signaling.

Article describes experiment in which mature adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were subjected to a swimming performance test that allowed separation into low swimming stamina or high swimming stamina groups in order to determine if inherited traits that support enhanced swimming stamina in offspring appear only in juveniles and/or adults, or if these traits actually appear earlier in the morphologically quite different larvae.

Article investigates basic cardiovascular physiology in the Red Junglefowl, the broiler, and the White Leghorn breeds at 90% of incubation. The authors aimed to identify breed-specific features of arterial blood pressure and heart rate as well as the physiological mechanisms regulating them. They concluded that selection for rapid growth shifts cardiovascular regulatory plasticity to emphasize mechanisms that modulate pressure, and that selection for egg-laying capacity emphasizes mechanisms that modulate heart rate.

Paper describes the Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science (PHAGES) program from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science Education Alliance as implemented at the University of North Texas.

Paper describes research conducted with the goal of expanding the body of information related to mycobacteriophages and the relationship between those viruses and the bacteria that are immune to them.

Paper discusses research which analyzed the genome of Mycobacteriophage ElTiger69, a subcluster A5 phage, to identify stoperator sequences.

This article uses full-length 16S rRNA gene alignments from the SILVA database to simulate the PCR products of the combined variable regions.

This article examines the hypothesis that MtNIP/LATD may have another biochemical activity.

This paper discusses a survey of quail hunters in Texas in 2000 and 2011 to assess hunter demographics and spending habits.

This paper discusses the Texas Quail Index, a 5-year citizen science project that evaluated several indices as predictors of bobwhite productivity and abundance during the subsequent fall.

This article examines how chronic hypoxic exposure on adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) affects the phenotype of their offspring.

This article reports on the development and comparison of two maps of Texas related to Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

This article presents a method that enables thirty-eight metabolites (proteinogenic amino acids and related compounds) to be analyzed, with an improved sensitivity of 1 to 5 orders of magnitude compared to existing methods.

Article on interpreting genomic data via entropic dissection.
