  • Biophysical properties of the turnip yellow mosaic virus explored by coat protein mutagenesis

    Creator:
    Powell, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    Plant viruses have been instrumental in our understanding of the biophysical properties pertaining to non-enveloped icosahedral virus particles. A substantial amount of research has been performed over five decades on Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV), arguably one of the most extensively studied icosahedral plant viruses and the type-member of the...

  • 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...

  • 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...
