Spring 2016
Hybrids formed by biological entities and human-made nano-structures have been intensively studied in recent years due to their very interesting properties and applications. DNA-carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid is one such material and the motivation of this PhD study. The interaction of DNA building...

Peroxisomes are organelles responsible for processing lipids and managing reactive oxygen species. A conserved family of genes called peroxisome biogenesis factors (Peroxin, Pex) encode proteins necessary for peroxisome biogenesis and function. In yeast and mammals, PEROXIN7 (PEX7) acts as a...

PCR-based methods for identification of two Eteobalea species (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae) used as biocontrol agents of weedy Linaria species (Scrophulariaceae)
Download2005
Pohl, G. R., McClay, A. S., Sperling, F. A. H., Mitchell, A.
Two European species of the genus Eleobalea Hodges are being tested as classical biological control agents for toadflax (Linaria spp.) in Canada. Permits for the release of these species apply only to an Italian population of E. serratella Treitschke and a Serbian population of E. intermediella...

Organelles serve to compartmentalize biochemical functions within the eukaryotic cell. However, to collectively maintain cellular homeostasis, organelles must communicate in some way in order to coordinate these functions. Two such organelles,the peroxisome and the lipid droplet, are both...

The DNA damage response (DDR) is critical for maintaining genomic integrity and prevention of genotoxic consequences leading to carcinogenesis. The DDR signaling cascade results either in the activation of the repair pathway, or initiation of apoptosis if the repair is not possible. Many...

Proliferative Signals Regulate Hemocyte Development and Intestinal Immunity in Drosophila melanogaster.
DownloadSpring 2015
The innate immune system is an ancient line of resistance against intrusive microbial threats. This system integrates cellular, humoral, and barrier defenses to generate a protective immune response. These divisions are indispensable and conserved between Drosophila and mammals. Hemocytes are the...

ReAS: Recovery of Ancestral Sequences for Transposable Elements from the Unassembled Reads of a Whole Genome Shotgun
Download2005
Ye, C., Wang, J., Li, S., Li, R., Wong, G.K.S., Ye, J., Yang, H., Han, Y., Yu, J.
We describe an algorithm, ReAS, to recover ancestral sequences for transposable elements (TEs) from the unassembled reads of a whole genome shotgun. The main assumptions are that these TEs must exist at high copy numbers across the genome and must not be so old that they are no longer...
