Factors affecting the detectability and eastern distribution of grizzly bears in Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2013
Effective and adaptive conservation of a species requires knowledge of trend in abundance and distribution. Monitoring species that are highly mobile, cryptic, and occurring at low densities is especially challenging. This research investigates the local factors affecting the detectability of...

Hsp90 and its co-chaperones regulate the activity of human Argonaute2 in RNA-mediated silencing pathways
DownloadFall 2011
The potent ability of small, double-stranded RNAs to silence gene expression was initially reported 1998, sparking revolutions in molecular biology and genetics. Since then, intensive research into the mechanism of RNA-mediated silencing has implicated the machinery of this pathway in the...

Wang, W., Wang, H., Wong, G.K.S., Zheng, H., Clark, T., Zhang, G., Kang, L., Wang, J., Shi, J., Wang, X.
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...

Identification of a novel lipase gene mutated in lpd mice with hypertriglyceridemia and associated with dyslipidemia in humans
Download2003-05-13
Wen, Xiao-Yan, Hegele, Robert A., Wang, Jian, Wang, Ding Yan, Cheung, Joseph, Wilson, Michael, Yahyapour, Maryam, Bai, Yahong, Zhuang, Lihua, Skaug, Jennifer, Young, T. Kue, Connelly, Philip W., Koop, Ben F., Tsui, Lap-Chee, Stewart, A. Keith
"Triglyceride (TG) metabolism is crucial for whole body and local energy homeostasis and accumulating evidence suggests an independent association between plasma TG concentration and increased atherosclerosis risk. We previously generated a mouse insertional mutation lpd (lipid defect) whose...

Identifying nonspecific ligand binding in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using the reporter molecule method
Download2009
Kitova, Elena N., Sun, Jiangxiao, Sun, Nian, Klassen, John S.
The application of the reporter molecule (Mrep) method for identifying nonspecific complexes in the ES-MS analysis of protein-ligand and DNA-ligand interactions in vitro is described. To test the reliability of the method, it was applied to the ES-MS analysis of protein-carbohydrate complexes...

Impact of Farming Practices on Soil Bacterial Community Composition, Diversity, and Interactions in the Main Agricultural Regions of Alberta
DownloadSpring 2022
Soil health refers to “the capacity of soil to function as a vital living system”, implying not only the capacity of soil to providing services of human interest, but also its capacity to provide ecological services, which makes ecosystems sustainable for the long term. The assessment of soil...

Peroxisomes are indispensable organelles that perform many essential metabolic activities. Thus, eukaryotic cells have evolved molecular mechanisms to ensure the inheritance of peroxisomes from mother cell to daughter cell at cell division. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the class...

Wong, Barbara, Leal, Isabel, Feau, Nicolas, Dale, Angela, Uzunovic, Adnan, Hamelin, Richard C.
Wood and wood products can harbor microorganisms that can raise phytosanitary concerns in countries importing or exporting these products. To evaluate the efficacy of wood treatment on the survival of microorganisms of phytosanitary concern the method of choice is to grow microbes in petri dishes...
