Genetic, genomic and molecular studies of signaling pathways controlling ecdysone biosynthesis in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2013
In insects, periodic pulses of the molting hormone ecdysone control all major developmental transitions such as the molts and metamorphosis. Ecdysone, a steroid hormone, is produced in the prothoracic gland during larval and pupal development of Drosophila. While we have a relatively good...

Bassett, E., Wishart, D.S., Lu, P., MacDonnell, C., Berjanskii, M., Zhou, J., Liang, J., Zhou, Y., Cruz, J.A., Lin, G., Tang, P.
GeNMR (GEnerate NMR structures) is a web server for rapidly generating accurate 3D protein structures using sequence data, NOE-based distance restraints and/or NMR chemical shifts as input. GeNMR accepts distance restraints in XPLOR or CYANA format as well as chemical shift files in either SHIFTY...

Retroposition is widely found to play essential roles in origination of new mammalian and other animal genes. However, the scarcity of retrogenes in plants has led to the assumption that plant genomes rarely evolve new gene duplicates by retroposition, despite abundant retrotransposons in plants...

To maintain an effective barrier, intestinal epithelial progenitor cells must divide at a rate that matches the loss of dead and dying cells. Epithelial damage during most enteric infection accelerates cell proliferation and tissue repair via multiple stress responses. However, infection with the...

Background Insects constitute the vast majority of known species with their importance including biodiversity, agricultural, and human health concerns. It is likely that the successful adaptation of the Insecta clade depends on specific components in its proteome that give rise to specialized...

Impacts of Recovery Rates and Terms of Trade on Strange Attractors and Predictability in Sustainable Agriculture
Download1994
Schilizzi, Steven, Apedaile, L. Peter, Freedman, H.I., Solomonovich, M.
Sustaining agricultural systems requires the ability to predict approaching extinction. Thus a suitable model needs to generate predictability as an intrinsic attribute. Such a model should provide several features for managers. It should incorporate learning about the minimum sustainable...

Implementation and Evaluation of Spatiotemporal Prediction Algorithms and Prediction of Spatially Distributed Greenhouse Gas Inventories
DownloadFall 2011
Growing environmental concerns require monitoring and modelling of greenhouse gases. These modelling efforts require processing of massive datasets in a timely fashion. This, in turn, can lead to feasibility problems when estimating values of missing data points. This thesis examines and compares...

Improving the accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction using structural alignment
Download2006
Gallin, W.J., Wishart, D.S., Montgomerie, S., Sundararaj, S.
Background: The accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction has steadily improved over the past 30 years. Now many secondary structure prediction methods routinely achieve an accuracy (Q3) of about 75%. We believe this accuracy could be further improved by including structure (as opposed...
