Bioinformatics applied to freshwater cyanobacterial blooms and cyanophage

Creator:

Schwartz, Andrew D.

Abstract:

Freshwater cyanobacterial blooms are a nuisance and health threat in the Pacific Northwest. The accepted methods of characterizing these blooms by microscopic cell counts cannot differentiate between toxic and non-toxic strains of the cyanobacterium Microcystis. Also, there is limited understanding of freshwater cyanophage that may control bloom dynamics. In order...

Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

Creator:

Brown, Nathaniel M.

Abstract:

Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

Translation of dengue virus RNA : influence of the untranslated regions on 5´-cap dependent translation and ribosome scanning

Creator:

Chiu, Wei-Wei

Abstract:

In this thesis, I studied the translation of dengue virus RNA using a luciferase reporter gene system in Vero cells. The dengue reporter mRNA construct, which harbors 5´-terminal viral nts and 3´-terminal nts, could be translated efficiently compared to an alpha globin reporter construct. The 5´-cap structure and 3´-untranslated region...
