Identifying microRNAs by automated phylogenetic and structural analysis

Creator:: Smith, Daniel P.
Abstract:: Motivation: It can take considerable amounts of time and effort to use existing computational tools to analyze a small RNA sequence for the purpose of determining if it is characteristic of microRNA. It is similarly tedious to search for homologs to known microRNA sequences in the rapidly growing collection of...

Immunohistochemistry Studies of Tumor Necrosis Factor Αlpha and Interferon Gamma Expression in Pseudocapillaria tomentosa Infected and Uninfected Zebrafish

Creator:: Lo, Lalee C.
Abstract:: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF α) and interferon gamma (IFN γ) were initially recognized as inflammatory mediators produced by immune cells in response to infectious agents or foreign material. (1,5) However, over the past decade much research in mammalian species has indicated that these proteins also play key roles in...

Studies on a transgenic approach to decrease gliadin content in wheat

Creator:: Bell, Shannon M.
Abstract:: Celiac disease, an autoimmune response triggered by the consumption of seed storage proteins of cereals, affects an estimated 1% of the human population. In the case of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), one of the world’s most consumed cereals, alcohol-soluble proteins, the gliadins, have been identified as the allergy-eliciting agents. Previous...

Two Advances in Practical Alternative Energy: Thermotolerant Hydrogenase Concentration and Methane Hydrate Grain Size Proxies.

Creator:: Sullivan, Nichole D.
Abstract:: Methane hydrates and biohydrogen are two disparate subjects that are of interest in the growing field of alternative energy research. However, before commercial use becomes a viable option, each has challenges that need to be overcome. Methane hydrates require large investments of time and capital to locate. In this thesis,...

The toxicogenetic effects of a chitosan based hemostatic control patch in rat models

Creator:: Colburn, Andrew J.
Abstract:: Chitosan based hemorrhage control dressings provide effective external hemorrhage control while having few side effects. Known residual contaminants present in chitosan formulations include endotoxins and proteins known to stimulate gene expression in the liver. This study investigated gene expression in the liver using rat bio-compatibility models to gain knowledge regarding...

Antibiotic Resistance Gene Transfer in Oysters as a Result of Fecal Pollution

Creator:: Cooper, Rebecca
Abstract:: Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem in many species of bacteria today, with pathogens an important focus. Fecal contamination of shellfish is already a concern due to potential pathogens. This report examines the possibility of resistance gene transfer between microbes, due to fecal bacteria, within the oyster. In this study,...

Expression of prolactin in feline mammary adenomas and adenocarcinomas

Creator:: Trummel, Danielle K.
Abstract:: Mammary tumors are the third most common tumor in cats after cutaneous neoplasia and lymphosarcoma. More than 80% of feline mammary tumors are adenocarcinomas, which are similar to human mammary adenocarcinomas in their biologic behavior and histologic characteristics. Despite treatment with radical mastectomy, feline mammary adenocarcinoma is associated with a...

Repression of DNA Mismatch Repair (MMR) in Arabidopsis thaliana through Dominant-Negative MMR Proteins

Creator:: Mohamed, Aly
Abstract:: The highly conserved multi-protein mismatch repair (MMR) system is known for its ability to correct post replication errors in genomic DNA. A hallmark of MMR deficiency in all organisms is microsatellite instability. The initiating proteins in the eukaryotic MMR system are hetrodimers formed with an integral MSH2 subunit and one...

In search of ecological advantages : Mycorrhizal facilitation of big huckleberry Vaccinium membranaceum (Doug.)

Creator:: Stocking, Peter
Abstract:: Temperate evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest support big huckleberries (Vaccinium membranaceum) despite their nutrient impoverished soils. Acquisition of nitrogen and phosphorous are the major nutrients limiting V. membranaceum. The plant’s access to these resources is linked to their mycorrhizal symbiosis. To learn more about the symbionts of eriaceous plants...
