Title: A STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF NEMATOSTELLA VECTENSIS MAJOR INTRINSIC PROTEINS
Author: Taylor, Jonathon
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Cytology, Evolutionary developmental biology
Description: There is currently a major gap in understanding the physiological processes of tissue grade animals from early diverging phyla, particularly within the context of the molecular mechanisms in response to osmotic variation. A key protein family esse...

Title: ASSESSING COMPARATIVE FUNCTIONS FOR THE BZIP TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR NFE2 IN NEMATOSTELLA VECTENSIS
Author: Clegg, Devin
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Biology
Description: The bZIP gene superfamily is a family of transcription factors that have gone through multiple duplication events within bilaterians, specifically in vertebrates. This has led to multiple paralogs in each bZIP family while early diverging phyla ha...

Title: Active Notch signaling is required for arm regeneration in a brittle star
Author: Janies, Daniel, Machado, Denis Jacob, Reid, Robert
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Genomics, Biology
Description: Cell signaling pathways play key roles in coordinating cellular events in development. The Notch signaling pathway is highly conserved across all multicellular animals and is known to coordinate a multitude of diverse cellular events, including pr...

Title: Assessing the impact of temperature on population-specific gene expression of a model estuarine cnidarian, Nematostella vectensis
Author: Klock, Amy
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Biology
Description: Temperature is a critical environmental factor that affects all living organisms. Climate change is resulting in rising global temperatures with marine environments being especially vulnerable. My study aimed to elucidate the temperature-dependent...

Title: CO-CHAPERONE REGULATION OF THE RIBONUCLOETIDE REDUCTASE COMPLEX
Author: Knighton, Laura
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Biochemistry
Description: The molecular chaperone Hsp70 folds a significant proportion of the proteome and is responsible for the activity and stability of many disease-related proteins, including those in cancer. Substantial effort has been devoted to developing a range o...

Title: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF REPEAT LANDSCAPES IN AVENA (OAT)
Author: Burkes, Shelvasha
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Bioinformatics, Botany
Description: Avena sativa, or common oat, is a staple crop and member of the Poaceae or Grass family. Following behind wheat, maize and rice, oats account for 10.5 million hectares of the world’s produced crops as of 2017. Phytocompounds such as β-glucan, aven...

Title: EVALUATING BIOFLAVONOID INDUCED DNA DOUBLE-STRAND BREAKS AND CHROMOSOMAL TRANSLOCATIONS
Author: Goodenow, Donna
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Biology
Description: Dietary bioflavonoids are a class of chemical compounds found in soy, fruits, vegetables, tea, coffee, wine, and dietary supplements. They are separated into 12 different sub-classes based upon their structure, however only six are dietarily relev...

Title: Examining the Contribution of the DNA Damage Response to Sepsis Survivor Myelosuppression
Author: Huff, Laura
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Immunology, Biology, Pathology
Description: A large portion of patients who survive sepsis, a life-threatening hyperinflammatory response to infection resulting in organ dysfunction, experience a higher risk of mortality than non-septic patients. Innate immune cells of sepsis survivors exhi...

Title: Four challenges associated with current mathematical modeling paradigm of infectious diseases and call for a shift
Author: Janies, Daniel, Chen, Shi, Robinson, Patrick, Dulin, Michael
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Biology
Description: Mathematical models are critical tools to characterize COVID-19 dynamics and take action accordingly. We identified 4 major challenges associated with the current modeling paradigm (SEIR) that hinder the efforts to accurately characterize the emer...

Title: Oral Microbiome Signature for Hematological Cancer
Author: Langdon, Holden
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Biology
Description: BackgroundThe endogenous microbiome of healthy individuals in the oral cavity is diverse, representing over 700 different bacterial species. Some of these species may become opportunistic if certain elements in the microenvironment and host-respon...

Title: Patch dynamics modeling framework from pathogens' perspective : Unified and standardized approach for complicated epidemic systems
Author: Janies, Daniel, Chen, Shi, Lo, Eugenia, Dulin, Michael
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Biology
Description: Mathematical models are powerful tools to investigate, simulate, and evaluate potential interventions for infectious diseases dynamics. Much effort has focused on the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR)-type compartment models. These models consi...

Title: The first complete mitochondrial genome of the sand dollar Sinaechinocyamus mai (Echinoidea: Clypeasteroida)
Author: Janies, Daniel, Machado, Denis Jacob
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Genomics, Biology
