Salem, Saeed; Alokshiya, Mohammed; Hasan, Mohammad Al Published March 16, 2021 Abstract Background Given a collection of coexpression networks over a set of genes, identifying subnetworks that appear frequently is an important research problem known as mining frequent subgraphs. Maximal frequent subgraphs are a representative set of frequent subgraphs; A frequent subgraph is maximal if…

Immediate Transcriptional Response to a Temperature Pulse under a Fluctuating Thermal Regime
Dacotah Melicher, Alex S Torson, Tanner J Anderson, George D Yocum, Joseph P Rinehart, Julia H Bowsher Published August, 2019 Abstract The response of ectotherms to temperature stress is complex, non-linear, and is influenced by life stage and previous thermal exposure. Mortality is higher under constant low temperatures than under a fluctuating thermal regime (FTR) that maintains the…
Timing of diapause initiation and overwintering conditions alter gene expression profiles in Megachile rotundata
Lizzette D. Cambron-Kopco, George D. Yocum, Kathleen M. Yeater, Kendra J. Greenlee Abstract Within the United States and Canada, the primary pollinator of alfalfa is the alfalfa leafcutting bee (ALCB), Megachile rotundata. Our previous findings showed that overwintering conditions impacted gene expression profile in ALCB prepupae that entered diapause early in the season. However, ALCB…
