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.

Identification and functional characterization of a subset of goldfish (Carassius auratus) leukocyte immune-type receptors (CaLITRs) expressed by myeloid cell-types
DownloadFall 2024
Originally discovered in the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus leukocyte immune-type receptors (IpLITRs) are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) and several of their transcripts are known to be expressed in a variety of catfish innate and adaptive immune cells. Phylogenetically,...

Identification and genetic mapping of resistance genes against Canadian pathotypes of Plasmodiophora brassicae in Brassica rapa and Brassica napus
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) is an important disease of canola/rapeseed (Brassica napus) and other crucifers. In this study, resistance loci/genes effective against P. brassicae pathotypes 2B, 3A, 3D, 3H, 5C, 5X and 8J were identified and mapped via genotyping-by-sequencing, QTL analysis,...

Identification and Molecular Characterization of Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Leukocyte Immune-Type Receptors (DrLITRs)
DownloadSpring 2020
In response to foreign invaders, innate immune cells use cell surface-expressed receptors to trigger intracellular signalling cascades that control various effector responses designed to destroy microbes. These specialized receptors are known as immunoregulatory receptors and structurally they...

Identification and Validation of a Common Molecular Signature of Progressive Fibrosis in Human Livers
DownloadSpring 2020
Over 25% of the world population suffer from chronic liver disease. Most common causes are long-term viral infections, alcohol abuse, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with obesity, diabetes or hyperlipidemia. Chronic liver disease due to any cause is characterized by...
