Simulating dynein’s powerstroke using Brownian dynamics

Creator:: Capek, Elliott
Abstract:: Dynein is a motor protein which transports cargo along tracks inside the cell. Like related motor proteins kinesin and myosin, dynein uses cellular energy to take steps with its two foot domains. Unlike kinesin or myosin, dynein’s stepping pattern is highly varied: it can take steps between zero and 60nm...

Evaluating Paratransgenesis as a Potential Control Strategy for African Trypanosomiasis

Creator:: Medlock, Jan, Atkins, Katherine E., Thomas, David N., Aksoy, Serap, and Galvani, Alison P.
Abstract:: Genetic-modification strategies are currently being developed to reduce the transmission of vector-borne diseases, including African trypanosomiasis. For tsetse, the vector of African trypanosomiasis, a paratransgenic strategy is being considered: this approach involves modification of the commensal symbiotic bacteria Sodalis to express trypanosome-resistance-conferring products. Modified Sodalis can then be driven into...

Key areas for conserving United States’ biodiversity likely threatened by future land use change

Creator:: Martinuzzi, S., Radeloff, V. C., Higgins, J. V., Helmers, D. P., Plantinga, A. J., and Lewis, D. J.
Abstract:: A major challenge for biodiversity conservation is to mitigate the effects of future environmental change, such as land use, in important areas for biodiversity conservation. In the United States, recent conservation efforts by The Nature Conservancy and partners have identified and mapped the nation's Areas of Biodiversity Significance (ABS), representing...

Extensive Transcriptome Changes During Natural Onset and Release of Vegetative Bud Dormancy in Populus

Creator:: Howe, Glenn T., Horvath, David P., Dharmawardhana, Palitha, Priest, Henry D., Mockler, Todd C., and Strauss, Steven H.
Abstract:: To survive winter, many perennial plants become endodormant, a state of suspended growth maintained even in favorable growing environments. To understand vegetative bud endodormancy, we collected paradormant, endodormant, and ecodormant axillary buds from Populus trees growing under natural conditions. Of 44,441 Populus gene models analyzed using NimbleGen microarrays, we found...

A new species of Bembidion (Ecuadion) from Ecuador (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Bembidiini), with a key to members of the georgeballi species group

Creator:: Maddison, David R. and Toledano, Luca
Abstract:: A new species of ground beetle, Bembidion ricei, is described from the Andes mountains of Ecuador east of Quito. It belongs to the georgeballi species group of subgenus Ecuadion, and is most similar to Bembidion georgeballi. A key to the species of the group is provided.

AI, Robot: A Rhetorical Analysis of Jeopardy! Matches Featuring IBM’s Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Steele, Evan T.
Abstract:: The relationship between the public and new technologies has historically been a tumultuous one, with public perceptions ranging from excited rapid adoption to standoffish pessimism. In 2011, IBM tried to use competition as a means of showcasing a new technology to the public. This thesis is a work of rhetorical...

J., Sahoo, A. K., Schaefer, K., Schwalm, C. R., Tian, H., Verbeeck, H., and Weng, E.
Abstract:: Earth system processes exhibit complex patterns across time, as do the models that seek to replicate these processes. Model output may or may not be significantly related to observations at different times and on different frequencies. Conventional model diagnostics provide an aggregate view of model–data agreement, but usually do not...

MHC Class I Antigen Presentation of DRiP-Derived Peptides from a Model Antigen Is Not Dependent on the AAA ATPase p97

Creator:: Palmer, Amy L. and Dolan, Brian P.
Abstract:: CD8⁺ T cells are responsible for killing cells of the body that have become infected or oncogenically transformed. In order to do so, effector CD8⁺ T cells must recognize their cognate antigenic peptide bound to a MHC class I molecule that has been directly presented by the target cell. Due...

Phylogeny of minute carabid beetles and their relatives based upon DNA sequence data (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechitae)

Creator:: Maddison, David R. and Ober, Karen A.
Abstract:: The phylogeny of ground beetles of supertribe Trechitae is inferred using DNA sequences of genes that code for 28S ribosomal RNA, 18S ribosomal RNA, and wingless. Within the outgroups, austral psydrines are inferred to be monophyletic, and separate from the three genera of true Psydrina (Psydrus, Nomius, Laccocenus); the austral...

Abstract:: We live in an exciting time for biology. Technological advances have made data collection easier and cheaper than we could ever have imagined just 10 years ago. We can now synthesize and analyze large data sets containing genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and multivariate phenotypes. At the same time, society's need for...
