Cholesterol is well known for its adverse cardiovascular effects, however it has crucial cellular roles. For instance, cholesterol is a key component of eukaryotic cell membranes and constitutes the principle steroid hormone precursor in most animals. Cellular cholesterol concentrations have to...

Drosophila Mage, a component of Smc5/6 DNA response complex, confers resistance to caffeine and genotoxic stress and plays a role in the cell cycle and cell survival
DownloadFall 2014
Over 50 Melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) genes have been identified in the human genome. They share a conserved 200 amino acid MAGE-homology domain (MHD). In yeast, the only MAGE homolog (Nse3) is a component of the Smc5/6 DNA damage response complex. In humans, MAGE proteins influence cell...

Berlyn, M.K., Plunkett, G., Wishart, D.S., Nori, H., Riley, M., Rudd, K.E., Glasner, J.D., Arnaud, M.B., Abe, T., Thomson, N.R., Wanner, B.L., Pernas, N.T., Blattner, F.R., Serres, M.H., Thomas, G.H., Horiuchi, T., Kosuge, T., Keseler, I.M., Chaudhuri, R.R.
The goal of this group project has been to coordinate and bring up-to-date information on all genes of Escherichia coli K-12. Annotation of the genome of an organism entails identification of genes, the boundaries of genes in terms of precise start and end sites, and description of the gene...

Expansion of ruminant-specific microRNAs shapes target gene expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species
Download2013
Kommadath, A., Bao, H., Meng, Y., Plastow, G. S., Stothard, P., Sun, X., Arantes, A. S., Guan, L. L.
Background Understanding how species-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to species-specific phenotypes is a central topic in biology. This study aimed to elucidate the role of ruminant-specific miRNAs in shaping mRNA expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species. ...

Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising technology that offers high fuel economy and low oxides of nitrogen and particulate emission for automotive and stationary engines. A significant challenge with HCCI is the large number of partial burn/misfire cycles within the lean...

Humans are the major cause of forest fires in the spring in Alberta, and have resulted in major property damage in both the Flat Top Complex fires in 2011 and the Fort McMurray fire in 2016. Fire occurrence prediction (FOP) models can help predict when and where fires can be expected in order to...

Flapwing Dephosphorylates Merlin and Moesin and Regulates Epithelial Integrity in Drosophila
DownloadFall 2013
Merlin is a tumor suppressor protein whose inactivation is associated with familial Neurofibromatosis Type II (NF2) and other sporadic tumors. The growth-suppressive function of Merlin is modulated by reversible phosphorylation. Our previous finding showed the Sterile20 kinase Slik coordinately...
