Life of David Garrick, esq. Vol. 1
No full textMurphy, Arthur (1727-1805) London: J. Wright, 1801 First edition David Garrick (1717-1779) studied for a short time under Samuel Johnson before they both went to London. Garrick began his passionate career with the stage as a drama critic and a playwright. He began acting in 1741 and became an instant sensation. In 1747, he went into partnership to buy the theater at Drury Lane, and went on to make the theater a popular success, introducing more authentic costumes and stage settings. Garrick continued his acting to rave reviews. Although he continued to manage the Drury Lane theater, Garrick stopped acting in 1766. Garrick\u27s biographer, Arthur Murphy, was an Irish attorney, journalist, actor playwright, and biographer. He began work at a merchant\u27s counting-house on the recommendation of his uncle in 1747. After refusing to go to Jamaica for the merchant, and thereby alienating his uncle, Murphy went to London. In 1754 he began acting, playing the title roles of Richard III and Othello. He wrote more than twenty plays. His first play, The Apprentice, was performed at Drury Lane in 1756. Murphy\u27s plays were almost all adaptations from the French, and very successful, earning him fame and fortune. His career illustrates the precarious financial and legal situation of dramatic authors in Georgian England. He worked and wrote at a time when the English theater was redefining the playwright\u27s position within the burgeoning culture of print. Murphy spent his entire life as a playwright and barrister addressing the professional status of the dramatic author. His greatest success in this endeavor came from his play, Hamlet, with Alterations, a parody of David Garrick\u27s radical adaptation of Shakespeare\u27s Hamlet. Although the play was not produced or published in Murphy\u27s lifetime, it changed the conversation about the bond between a dramatic author and the dramatic text as product

The genetic characterisation of coat colour and patterning traits in cattle : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science at Massey University, AL Rae Centre for Genetics and Animal Breeding, Hamilton, New Zealand
No full textListed in 2022 Dean's List of Exceptional ThesesCoat colour and patterning traits have been of interest to cattle breeders for centuries and have undergone intense selection due to their ability to provide easy means of breed identification. The striking coat colour and patterning traits observed in modern-day cattle breeds have reached fixation in many breed populations, and causal mutations for almost all major coat patterning traits in cattle have been resolved, with the exception of the white spotting trait characteristic of Holstein cattle. Despite this, the molecular mechanisms through which these mutations modulate pigmentation, and how they might interact with each other to produce different patterning traits, remain poorly understood. The aims of this thesis were to uncover the causal variants that contribute toward the proportion of white spotting on the coat, identify epistatic interactions between coat colour loci, and explore the implementation of alternative breeding solutions to introgress favourable coat-colour relevant genetic variants with minimal genetic drag. A combination of molecular, quantitative, and bioinformatic tools were utilised to discover a mutation in the protein-coding sequence of the PAX3 gene, a mutation within a highly conserved region of the MITF gene, and a novel structural variant upstream of the KIT gene, that all likely contribute towards the proportion of white spotting on the coat. Using genome-wide association analyses we also described an epistatic interaction between the MITF and KIT loci that causes a splotchy face in cattle with Hereford parentage, and an epistatic interaction between two mutations at the KIT locus that causes pigmentation around the eyes in white-faced Hereford cattle. Finally, unbiased whole-genome sequence analysis and long-molecule sequencing demonstrated that CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing could be used to introgress a PMEL coat colour dilution mutation into a Holstein-Friesian background with no detectable off-target mutagenesis or genetic drag. This thesis reports novel candidate causal mutations and epistatic interactions previously unreported, and also the first study in cattle to investigate off-target mutations with the application of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technologies. The results presented here provide insight into biological and physiological aspects of pigment biology, and enhance our understanding of these processes with relevance across mammals
