Differential response of two common human papillomavirus 16 E6 variants to small interfering RNA
(2014-01-22)
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs), such as HPV16, are implicated in causing virtually all cases of cervical cancer. Molecular therapies capable of targeting HPV16 E6 oncoprotein expression can selectively eliminate ...
Comparing Canonical and Dicer Substrate Small Interfering RNA and Their Effects on the Silencing of Two Common Human Papillomavirus 16 E6 Variants
(2015)
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs), such as HPV16, cause nearly all cases of cervical cancer as well as a number of head and neck cancers. Over expression of the E6 oncoprotein helps drive the malignant phenotype, ...
Investigation into the ecological costs of sea lamprey control on lake sturgeon and ammocoete predators using olfactory techniques
(2015)
Fish that feed or travel in low light conditions particularly rely on their chemical
senses, such as olfaction, for survival. Exposure to toxicants at concentrations lower
than those causing mortality can have detrimental ...
Examining the Role of Ascorbic Acid in Prevention of Heterotopic Ossification
(2016)
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a condition in which mature bone forms in a non-osseous tissue
following extreme trauma such as injury or surgery (1]. It is thought that a particular cell type
known as mesenchymal ...
Movement, resource use, and life history strategies of Black Bay Walley (Sander vitreus)
(2019)
Resource distribution across the landscape can drive movement strategy selection, from sedentary to highly mobile individuals. When paired with other forms of analysis, movement ecology can provide insight into the resource ...
Isolation and characterization of bioconversion microbes and aerobic conversion of crude glycerol to value-added bioproducts
(2018)
Renewable forms of energy are of significant interest in today’s economies. Biofuel is a renewable fuel produced by biological means. Biofuel is very useful because it does not have a finite supply, and it produces fewer ...
Impacts of timber harvesting on stream macroinvertebrate communities at different spatial scales in Ontario's boreal forest
(2001)
Study area: Wolf River, Mackenzie River, Spruce River and Nipigon 10 burn zone watersheds. These are tributaries of Lake Superior and lie within the northwestern Ontario boreal forest near Thunder Bay, Ontario. Sites were ...
Expression of T4 lysozyme gene in escherichia coli and trichoderma reesei
(2014-01-22)
The T4 lysozyme, from bacteriophage T4, has the ability to lyse bacterial cell walls; thus it has attracted immense attention as an antimicrobial agent. Nonetheless, the production of T4L cannot meet our needs. All of the ...
Improving genetic profiling techniques for low copy number DNA / by Shana Hayter.
(2007)
The extraction of DNA from ancient samples presents many obstacles to the analyst. These samples are often subjected to many years of harsh environmental conditions and many forms of damage resulting in low copy number and ...
Evaluating DNA Extraction and Analysis of Ancient Seeds: A Study in Peach
(2015)
The peach (Prunus persica) is one of the most widely grown stone fruit in the world but its origin and domestication is still being debated. Genetic research has focused on identifying desirable genes for agricultural ...
