SSHRC CG awarded 2024: Society, in the early twenty-first century, has been shaped by new knowledge of genomics, also known as the science of DNA, yet Indigenous peoples remain underrepresented in research and leadership roles in genome and other science, technology, math, and engineering fields....

The endomembrane system is one of the hallmark features of all eukaryotes that distinguishes them from prokaryotes. Compared to bacteria and archaea, eukaryotic cells consist of biochemically and functionally distinct membranous compartments such as the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus,...

Identification of genes and gene expression associated with dispersal capacity in the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Shegelski, Victor A., Evenden, Maya L., Huber, Dezene P. W., Sperling, Felix A. H.
Dispersal flights by the mountain pine beetle have allowed range expansion and major damage to pine stands in western Canada. We asked what the genetic and transcriptional basis of mountain pine beetle dispersal capacity is. Using flight mills, RNA-seq and a targeted association study, we...

Physiological and genomic characterization of six virulent bacteriophages of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 for biocontrol and detection applications
DownloadSpring 2019
Despite multiple control strategies in all steps of the food production chain, outbreaks of foodborne pathogens are common worldwide. More effective ways to prevent, eliminate or at least detect their presence before products reach consumers are of great interest to the general public, the food...

Temporal isolation contributes to ecological speciation in a diversity of insect taxa. Such prezygotic isolation can reduce or stop hybridization between closely related taxa or populations, leading to speciation. Within the spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) species complex, hybridization...

Cullingham, Catherine I., Janes, Jasmine K., Hamelin, Richard C., James, Patrick M.A., Murray, Brent W., Sperling, Felix A.H.
Environmental change is altering forest insect dynamics worldwide. As these systems change, they pose significant ecological, social, and economic risk through, for example, the loss of valuable habitat, green space, and timber. Our understanding of such systems is often limited by the complexity...

Identification of bacterial isolates is important for taxonomic purposes, as well as to predict behaviour and properties of organisms in evolutionary, ecological, industrial, or medical contexts. This process embraces a polyphasic approach (phenotypic, genotypic, and phylogenetic), but has been...

The successful diffusion of new agricultural biotechnologies depends on widespread producer acceptance and uptake. The assessment of the key factors that can influence producer decision making is fundamental to the understanding of the rate of uptake, the attainable rate of potential benefits and...

Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range

Cox, Faith, Janssen, Peter H., Henderson, Gemma, Jonker, Arjan, Young, Wayne, Ganesh, Siva
Ruminant livestock are important sources of human food and global greenhouse gas emissions. Feed degradation and methane formation by ruminants rely on metabolic interactions between rumen microbes and affect ruminant productivity. Rumen and camelid foregut microbial community composition was...

Although much work has been done over the past decade on developing personalized and evidence-based medicine, such as diagnostic tests based on genetics to better predict patients' responses to therapy, stumbling blocks remain that have prevented knowledge, tests, and other pertinent...
