Analysis of gene regulation using high throughput genomics
(2012-10-23)The recent development of high-throughput genomics techniques and their subsequent applications have completely transformed the study of biology. The analysis, interpretation and storage of the resulting large volumes of ... -
Genomic and transcriptomic investigations into the feed efficiency phenotype of beef cattle
(NUI Galway, 2019-03-06)Improving the feed efficiency of cattle is a method to increase profits while simultaneously reducing the environmental impact of beef production. Residual feed intake (RFI) is a measure of feed efficiency, calculated as ... -
Investigating the genetics of deep learning derived neuro imaging phenotypes of brain disorders
(NUI Galway, 2024-04-17)Brain disorders are collections of debilitating phenotypes that can affect cognition and general life quality via a myriad of symptoms, including mood swings, memory loss, altered thought processes, and psychosis. Despite ... -
Investigation of pathogenic vibrio in Irish aquaculture
(NUI Galway, 2023-07-31)Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio cholerae are marine pathogens that cause gastroenteritis in humans after the consumption of infected shellfish. Vibrio can cause devastating losses of oysters, shrimps ... -
An investigation of the genetic contribution to cognitive resilience in healthy ageing
(NUI Galway, 2021-07)Cognitive decline is one of the most feared aspects of ageing leading to major health and social issues. Non-pathological or age-related cognitive decline leads to increased challenges in completing tasks that require ... -
Molecular profiling and genomic substratification to personalise therapeutic decision making in cancer
(NUI Galway, 2022-08-16)Breast cancer management recognises that the unique genetic expression profiles of each cancer enables substratification into clinically and therapeutically distinct molecular subgroups. There are pragmatic ways of ... -
Pathogen genomics of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus and leishmania
(2017-02-15)Infectious diseases caused by the single-celled eukaryotic parasite Leishmania and the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacterium are major public health problems in many countries. In this thesis, I use ...
