Comparative Genomics of Freshwater Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria and Associated Organisms

Creator:

Driscoll, Connor B.

Abstract:

The advent of improved DNA sequencing technologies has allowed the analysis of various microbial communities. Bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacteria can produce toxins and taste-and-odor compounds that can negatively affect drinking water supplies. Here, I have employed second- and third-generation sequencing technologies to characterize bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterial genomes and their associated heterotrophic...

How Do Parasites Infect Salmon? Comparative Transcriptomics Reveal Myxozoan Adaptations for Parasitism

Creator:

Americus, Benjamin

Abstract:

The phylum Cnidaria contains three main branches: Anthozoa (corals, sea anemones) Medusozoa (jellyfish, hydra), and Endocnidozoa. This latter branch is characterized by parasitism and contains the microscopic fish-parasites Myxozoa. Myxozoa are highly simplified, consisting of only a few cell types, however they have retained the nematocyst stinging cells and complex...

Horizontal Variability of Internal Waves and Tides: Seafloor Pressure Measurements and Idealized Resonant Modes

Creator:

Thomas, Jennifer A.

Abstract:

Internal waves and tides are a dominant source of current variability, and they are intermittent and hard to predict. Internal waves can have significant variability in alongshore structure. However, previous studies on internal waves have focused primarily on their cross-shore structure and propagation. For example, while alongshore-propagating superinertial internal tides...
