Classifying Crystal Structures of Binary Compounds AB through Cluster Resolution Feature Selection and Support Vector Machine Analysis
Download2016
Adutwum, Lawrence A. , Harynuk, James, Mar, Arthur, Oliynyk, Anton O.
Partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and support vector machine (SVM) techniques were applied to develop a crystal structure predictor for binary AB compounds. Models were trained and validated on the basis of the classification of 706 AB compounds adopting the seven most common...

Accurately identifying strand residues (beta-residues) from protein sequences aids prediction and analysis of numerous structural and functional aspects of proteins. This thesis is focused on improving sequence-based prediction of strand residues and strands, which in turn would lead to better...

Computational support systems for prediction and characterization of protein crystallization outcomes
DownloadFall 2013
Analysis of protein structures may reveal their function, regulation and interactions. Almost 90% of the known protein structures were solved using X-ray crystallography; however, many more structures remain unsolved. Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) project was created to speed up structure...

CS23D: A web server for rapid protein structure generation using NMR chemical shifts and sequence data
Download2008
Wishart, D.S., Berjanskii, M., Arndt, D., Lin, G., Tang, P., Zhou, J.
CS23D (chemical shift to 3D structure) is a web server for rapidly generating accurate 3D protein structures using only assigned nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts and sequence data as input. Unlike conventional NMR methods, CS23D requires no NOE and/or J-coupling data to perform...

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...

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...

Gene structure of the goldfish agouti-signaling protein: A putative role in the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern of fish
Download2005
Schioth, H.B., Haitina, T., Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E.
One of the most successful chromatic adaptations in vertebrates is the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern in which the dorsal skin is darkly colored, whereas the ventrum is light. In fish, the latter pattern is achieved because a melanization inhibition factor inhibits melanoblast differentiation and...

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...

Heritability of tolerance to the Cry1Ab toxin of Bacillus thuringiensis in Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Download2000
Cohen, M. B., Gould, F., Alinia, F.
Abstract: Heritability of Chilo suppressalis (Walker) tolerance to the Cry1Ab toxin of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner was estimated using a half-sibling design. Artificial diet with and without Cry1Ab was infested with progenies of 20 males, each mated with 2 females, and mortality was scored 5...
