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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Biological activities of select North American lichens
(2017)
The search for novel, pharmacologically significant compounds is a perpetual quest on which biologists, chemists, and bioinformaticians incessantly embark. The sources of these compounds are often of natural origin, making ...
The impact of alternate pretreatment methods and osmotic dehydration for the preservation of wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium)
(2018)
This study investigated the effects of selected pretreatments and rigorous optimization of osmotic dehydration (OD) of lowbush blueberries using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to produce dehydrated blueberries with ...
Assessing in vitro DNA repair methods / by Ryan Lehto.
(2010)
The DNA molecule is constantly under attack from endogenous and exogenous sources leading to degradation by a variety of forms of damage. In this study current methods of in vitro DNA repair methods were evaluated for ...
