A microscopic, transcriptomic, and phylogenetic investigation of the contractile vacuole of Reclinomonas americana (Jakobida, Discoba)
DownloadSpring 2023
The origin and timing of characteristic eukaryotic organelles is one of the key questions in the evolution of life on Earth. For the most part, widespread eukaryotic organelles (e.g., Golgi, mitochondria) have been inferred to be present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) by examining...

A Multi-omics Approach to Understanding the Effects of Common Feeding Strategies on Diet-Microbe-Host Interaction in Weaned Pigs
DownloadFall 2023
Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is a serious challenge in global swine production systems with significant impacts on antimicrobial use and production economics. The outcomes of this multi-factorial disease are influenced by many nutritional and management factors which affect the colonization and...

Growth Characterization and Transcriptomics of Methanotrophic Bacteria as Effected by Carbon and Nitrogen Sources
DownloadFall 2019
While industrial activities have shaped our modern world and lifestyles, one of their many important environmental effects is the significant increase in methane emissions and the resultant atmospheric methane concentrations. A common byproduct of many industries, methane is often burned off as...

Transcriptomic analyses of Pinus contorta responses to Grosmannia clavigera under contrasting levels of nitrogen availability
DownloadSpring 2021
In western Canada alone, the current mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreak has devastated nearly 19 million hectares of pine forest, negatively impacting communities, industries and ecosystems. Reforestation efforts can benefit from a deeper understanding of the impact of nitrogen (N)-based...
