  • Characterization of Neurospora crassa and Fusarium graminearum mutants defective in repeat-induced point mutation

    Creator:
    Pomraning, Kyle R.
    Abstract:
    Mutation of repetitive DNA by repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a process that occurs in many filamentous fungi of the Ascomycota during the sexual cycle. Concurrently, direct DNA repeats are often deleted by homologous recombination at high frequency during the sexual cycle. Thus, the processes of RIP and deletion compete...

  • Transcriptional networks controlled by the fatty acid regulators FAR-1 and FAR-2

    Creator:
    Bredeweg, Erin L.
    Abstract:
    Fungi are capable of growth on a wide variety of carbon sources, both living and dead. They can produce an arsenal of enzymes and transporters for harvesting sugars, polysaccharides, amino acids, lipids and micronutrients from their environments [1]. Within the nucleus of a cell, transcription factors (TF) control whether genes...

  • Effects of DNA mismatch repair inhibition in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Creator:
    Wilcox, Buck W. L.
    Abstract:
    Genomic instability underlies diseases of unregulated cell growth that result in cancers and developmental abnormalities in humans. Similar genome destabilizing mechanisms are used to create genetic variety in crops for use in breeding and trait development. Errors that occur during DNA replication may cause mutations if they are not corrected...

  • Quorum-sensing-controlled public goods in Pseudomonas aeruginosa : regulation and application

    Creator:
    Mellbye, Brett L.
    Abstract:
    Cell-to-cell communication by chemical signals, termed quorum sensing (QS), is a common regulatory scheme in the microbial world. Pseudomonas aeruginosa¸ an opportunistic pathogen of burn wounds and cystic fibrosis lungs, uses QS to control the expression of hundreds of genes, particularly those necessary for population level benefits such as biofilm...
