This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Fall 2022
The compartmentalization of subcellular functions facilitates the regulation of biochemical reactions and cellular processes. The compartmentalization of the eukaryotic genome into the nucleus by the nuclear envelope (NE), for example, facilitates various DNA metabolic activities. The NE is...

Spring 2015
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) form aqueous portals in the nuclear envelope (NE) and are the sole sites for molecular exchange between nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. While ions, small metabolites and molecules under ~40 kDa can freely passage through NPCs, most macromolecular transport...

Spring 2023
The nucleus is a hallmark organelle of eukaryotes. It separates the genetic material from the rest of the cytoplasm using a selectively permeable double phospholipid bilayer called the nuclear envelope (NE). The NE contains numerous pores with embedded macromolecular structures called nuclear...

Spring 2023
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM), or the contact site between the ER and mitochondria, serves a control station for mitochondrial metabolism. Here, chaperones and enzymes control the Ca2+ flux between the two organelles, thereby altering energy production via...

Spring 2019
In yeast, subtelomeric chromatin is silenced and positioned at the inner nuclear membrane (INM) through the interaction of proteins that comprise the heterotrimeric SIR complex with INM proteins. Telomeres reside primarily at the INM using partially redundant tethering mechanisms mediated by the...
