Description: Background: Soybean (Glycine max) has been bred for thousands of years to produce seeds rich in protein for human and animal consumption, making them an appealing bioreactor for producing valuable recombinant proteins at high levels. However, the ...

Title: A virtual pebble game to ensemble average graph rigidity
Author: Jacobs, Donald J., Gonzalez, Luis C., Wang, Hui, Livesay, Dennis R.
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Probabilities, Proteins
Description: Background: The body-bar Pebble Game (PG) algorithm is commonly used to calculate network rigidity properties in proteins and polymeric materials. To account for fluctuating interactions such as hydrogen bonds, an ensemble of constraint topologies...

Title: Analysis of pollen-specific alternative splicing in Arabidopsis thaliana via semi-quantitative PCR
Author: Loraine, Ann, Estrada, April, Freese, Nowlan H., Blakley, Ivory
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Bioinformatics, Pollen, Nucleic acids
Description: Alternative splicing enables a single gene to produce multiple mRNA isoforms by varying splice site selection. In animals, alternative splicing of mRNA isoforms between cell types is widespread and supports cellular differentiation. In plants, at ...

Title: Cycle of phase, coherence and polarization singularities in Young's three-pinhole experiment
Author: Gbur, Greg, Pang, Xiaoyan, Visser, Taco D.
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Physics, Optics
Description: It is now well-established that a variety of singularities can be characterized and observed in optical wavefields. It is also known that these phase singularities, polarization singularities and coherence singularities are physically related, but...

Title: Effects of symptom perception interventions on trigger identification and quality of life in children with asthma
Author: Harver, Andrew, Janssens, Thomas
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Asthma, Asthma in children
Description: Background. Management of individual triggers is suboptimal in practice. In this project, we investigated the impact of symptom perception interventions on asthma trigger identification and self-reported asthma quality of life. Methods. Children w...

Title: Microbial diversity and activity in the Nematostella vectensis holobiont : insights from 16S rRNA gene sequencing, isolate genomes, and a pilot-scale survey of gene expression
Author: Reitzel, Adam M., Har, Jia Y., Helbig, Tim
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Gene expression, Biology
Description: We have characterized the molecular and genomic diversity of the microbiota of the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, a cnidarian model for comparative developmental and functional biology and a year-round inhabitant of temperate salt mar...

Title: Phylogeny of echinoderm hemoglobins
Author: Janies, Daniel, Linchangco, Gregorio V., Jr.
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Genomics, Biology
Description: Background Recent genomic information has revealed that neuroglobin and cytoglobin are the two principal lineages of vertebrate hemoglobins, with the latter encompassing the familiar myoglobin and alpha-globin/beta-globin tetramer hemoglobin, and ...

Title: Phylotranscriptomic analysis uncovers a wealth of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases variants in echinoderms
Author: Janies, Daniel, Clouse, Ronald M., Linchangco, Gregorio V., Jr.
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Genomics, Biology
Description: Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) help regulate the extracellular matrix (ECM) in animals, mostly by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). They are important activators of mutable collagenous tissue (MCT), which have been exte...

Title: RNA-Seq analysis and annotation of a draft blueberry genome assembly identifies candidate genes involved in fruit ripening, biosynthesis of bioactive compounds, and stage-specific alternative splicing
Author: Loraine, Ann, Gupta, Vikas, Estrada, April, Blakley, Ivory
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Genomics, Antioxidants
Description: Background: Blueberries are a rich source of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds that can protect against disease. Identifying genes involved in synthesis of bioactive compounds could enable the breeding of berry varieties with enhanced he...

Title: Rigidity emerges during antibody evolution in three distinct antibody systems: evidence from QSFR analysis of fab fragments
Author: Jacobs, Donald J., Li, Tong, Livesay, Dennis R.
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Immunoglobulins, Biology
Description: The effects of somatic mutations that transform polyspecific germline (GL) antibodies to affinity mature (AM) antibodies with monospecificity are compared among three GL-AM Fab pairs. In particular, changes in conformational flexibility are assess...

Title: Sex-specific and developmental expression of dmrt genes in the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis
Author: Reitzel, Adam M., Traylor-Knowles, Nikki G., Kane, Eric G.

Title: Sociomaterial texts, spaces and devices : Questioning ‘digital dualism’ in library and study practices
Author: Lanclos, Donna M., 1970-, Gourlay, Lesley, Oliver, Martin, 1973-
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Education, Higher, Libraries
Description: Work on students' study practices posits the digital and material as separate domains, with the ‘digital’ assumed to be disembodied, decontextualised and free-floating, and spaces in the material campus positioned as prototypically ‘traditional’ a...
