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.

An ancestral role in de novo peroxisome assembly is retained by the divisional peroxin Pex11 in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica
DownloadFall 2014
This thesis is on peroxisome evolution and reports my findings with regard to two major aspects of this process. First, I investigated the evolution of a peroxisomal protein family for which large expansions had been noted in diverse eukaryotes from a comparative genomic perspective and combined...

Analyses of trans-acting factors that regulate RNA interference in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
DownloadSpring 2013
RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon in which small RNAs induce an efficient, sequence-specific silencing of gene expression at transcriptional (TGS) and post-transcriptional (PTGS) levels. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe), the basic roles of Argonaute protein (Ago1),...

Analysis of Regulatory Mechanisms on RNA Interference by Molecular Chaperone Hsp90 and Protein Phosphorylation in Yeast
DownloadFall 2016
RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved mechanism that eukaryotes employ small RNAs to regulate gene expression at transcriptional and post-trnascriptiona levels in a sequence-specific manner. However, current understanding on the regulatory mechanisms of RNAi via its core components is quite...

Fall 2017
Flaviviruses are important human pathogens that have an enormous impact on global health. Examples that have been studied in my research include dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV) and most recently, Zika virus (ZIKV). Currently, there are very few vaccines against or therapeutic...

Fall 2010
In this thesis, I characterized the association of Arf4•GDP with ER-Golgi intermediate compartment membranes. We confirmed that GDP-arrested Arf4 mutants associated with membranes irrespective of nature of tag or mutation. Recruitment appeared specific since loss of N-terminal myristoylation...
