Leafrollers moths are one of the most ecologically and economically important groups of herbivorous insects. These Lepidoptera are an ideal model for exploring the drivers that modulate the processes of diversification over time. This thesis analyzes the evolution of Choristoneura Lederer, a well...

Epithelia form protective barriers and regulate molecule transport between the mesenchyme and environment. Amongst all metazoans, only sponges are said to lack 'true' epithelia however the physiology of sponge cell layers are rarely studied empirically. Aggregates and gemmules of a freshwater...

Gorodkin, J., Christensen, O. F., Jørgensen, F. G., Yang, H., Bendixen, C., Brunak, S., Wernersson, R., Panitz, F., Hornshøj, H., Mailund, T., Wong, G.K.S., Dong, W., Wang, J., Li, W., Klein, A., Fredholm, M., Hu, S., Stærfeldt, H.-H., Bolund, L., Liu, B., Schierup, M. H., Yu, J.
Background Comparative whole genome analysis of Mammalia can benefit from the addition of more species. The pig is an obvious choice due to its economic and medical importance as well as its evolutionary position in the artiodactyls. Results We have generated ~3.84 million shotgun sequences...

Population structure and phylogenetic relationships of Ceutorhynchus neglectus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Download2005
Sperling, F. A. H., Dosdall, L. M., Laffin, R. D.
Ceutorhynchus neglectus Blatchley is a weevil that is native to, and widely distributed in, North America. It has life-history characteristics similar to its alien invasive congener, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham), the cabbage seedpod weevil. Our study was undertaken to compare the population...

The DNA damage response (DDR) is critical for maintaining genomic integrity and prevention of genotoxic consequences leading to carcinogenesis. The DDR signaling cascade results either in the activation of the repair pathway, or initiation of apoptosis if the repair is not possible. Many...

Ortiz Sandoval, Carolina Guadalupe
The ER mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM) is a hub for many calcium-mediated processes required for cell survival, including apoptosis, autophagy, and ATP production. In this thesis, we identified and characterized the interaction between MAM-enriched Rab32 and its effector Drp1, a master...

ReAS: Recovery of Ancestral Sequences for Transposable Elements from the Unassembled Reads of a Whole Genome Shotgun
Download2005
Ye, C., Wang, J., Li, S., Li, R., Wong, G.K.S., Ye, J., Yang, H., Han, Y., Yu, J.
We describe an algorithm, ReAS, to recover ancestral sequences for transposable elements (TEs) from the unassembled reads of a whole genome shotgun. The main assumptions are that these TEs must exist at high copy numbers across the genome and must not be so old that they are no longer...
