  • The role of the putative transcription factor DIS10 in PRC2-mediated gene silencing

    Creator:
    Jackson, Kendra K.
    Abstract:
    PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) mediated gene silencing plays an important role in cell differentiation, stem cell plasticity, and tumor suppression. In fungi, it is also involved in pathogenicity. The catalytic subunit, KMT6, trimethylates lysine 27 on histone h3 (H3K27me3) at loci targeted for silencing. In animals, PRC1 and PRC2...

  • Cheung’s Symphony No. 4 in f minor : a process of design

    Creator:
    Cheung, Jamie Y. Y.
    Abstract:
    A line of four garments was designed and developed using the various stages of the design process, based on the idea of translating music into fashion, the intangible into the tangible. The line was inspired by Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, guided by the composer’s music and symphonic...

  • Mutations of CenH3 Domains and their Effect on Chromocenter Localization and Meiosis in Neurospora crassa

    Creator:
    Ferrer, Sarah Theresa
    Abstract:
    In recent years, non-coding DNA has received much attention within the scientific community. This attention has not only illuminated the mystery behind functionally important regions like the centromere, but has also brought to light additional important questions regarding centromere mechanisms, inheritance, and cellular recognition by the kinetochore, a protein complex...

  • An evaluation of the establishment and continued effectiveness of the Galápagos National Park and Marine Reserve in Ecuador

    Creator:
    Asson, Danielle
    Abstract:
    Conservation of natural resources has become a new watchword of the scientific community. While many terrestrial ecosystems are well protected, marine ecosystems have only recently come to the forefront. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been introduced as a means of protecting biodiversity, commercial stocks, and ecosystem services. There are many...

  • Effects of Long-term Use of Ankle Taping on Balance

    Creator:
    McGregor, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    Regular ankle taping is commonly used to prevent ankle sprains, but the effects of its long-term use are not fully understood. This study examined the effects of ankle taping on balance in athletes who regularly tape their ankles versus those who do not. Fourteen collegiate gymnasts’ ability to balance on...

  • Mutation of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) kmt6 to Probe in vivo Function in Fusarium

    Creator:
    Josephson, Brian
    Abstract:
    Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is a histone methyltransferase that initiates facultative heterochromatin formation by trimethylating histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27me3). Mutations within its three primary subunits, KMT6, EED, and SUZ12, result in inherited diseases and sporadic cancers. In the fungus Fusarium graminearum, deletion of the gene encoding the...

  • Sustainable US Federal Water Policy Recommendations

    Creator:
    Kusanto, Nicholas Christopher
    Abstract:
    Climate change, population growth, aging infrastructure, poor water management, and aquifer depletion are reducing US water supply. Increasing water scarcity will lead to an inability to support agriculture, industry, energy, and municipal demand that will negatively affect US economic growth and national security. Traditional water policy measures of expanding supply...

  • Effects of Medial and Lateral Motion of the Foot during a Forward Slip on the Loss and Recovery of Balance

    Creator:
    Blackwell, Allison M.
    Abstract:
    Falls, especially those caused by slips, are a major health concern. Past research has examined the mechanisms of preventing a fall from a forward slip; however, the effects of a mediolateral component to the slip have not been thoroughly analyzed. The purpose of this study was to examine how medial...
