The Study of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Genes Using Drosophila Homologues: Behavioural Insights
DownloadFall 2014
Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) denotes a heterogeneous group of heritable neurodegenerative disorders predominantly characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity of the legs. Mutations in the gene SPAST are by far the most common, while mutations in the gene ATL1 are the second most...

Developing a simple, general, and isothermal self-replicating system is one of the key requirements for a simplified detection platform for nucleic acid sequences specific to a disease causing microrganism. One of the challenges in achieving nucleic-acid templated isothermal amplification is that...

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of Intellectual Disability, affecting 1 in 4000 boys and 1 in 6000 girls. Work in our lab using Drosophila melanogaster and since replicated in the mouse model has shown that excess protein synthesis is a major mechanism connecting the...

Understory responses to mechanical restoration and drought within Montane forests of British Columbia
Download2005
Bork, E. W., Newman, R. F., Page, H. N.
Pre- and post-thinning relationships between forest overstorey and understorey characteristics at sites in both the Interior Douglas-fir (IDF) and Ponderosa Pine (PP) biogeoclimatic zones in the East Kootenay region of southeast British Columbia were investigated to quantify understorey responses...

Using Biomolecular Recognition to Selectively Self-Assemble Microscale Components onto Patterned Substrates
DownloadSpring 2015
Modern nanofabrication technology in the 21st century has continued year after year to push the boundaries of what is possible at the nanoscale. With the advent of molecular electronics, single electron devices, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), and other nanotechnologies, the near future...

Cells require the ability to modulate function in response to their surroundings so that they are able to contribute to the survival of the organism. A key mechanism that allows tunable responses to changes in environment is by differential control of gene expression by transcriptional...

Background One of the goals of livestock genomics research is to identify the genetic differences responsible for variation in phenotypic traits, particularly those of economic importance. Characterizing the genetic variation in livestock species is an important step towards linking genes or...
