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.

Investigation of mRNP export kinetics and gene expression regulation by the DEAD-box protein Dbp5p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
DownloadFall 2019
The intricate architecture of the eukaryotic cell, which includes the partitioning of the cell into discrete membrane bound organelles, necessitates that various cargos must cross the nuclear envelope (NE). Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are large macromolecular assemblies embedded within the NE...

Nuclear accumulation of polyadenylated noncoding RNA leads to a breakdown in nuclear RNA homeostasis
DownloadSpring 2020
The biogenesis and processing of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) is central to the gene expression program. In eukaryotic cells, mRNAs must also be exported from nucleus to cytoplasm as part of the gene expression pathway. In this work, mutations in 1047 essential genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S....
