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 ...
Ecology of pathogenic Escherichia coli in water : survival and molecular detection
(2003)
Recently there has been a surge of interest in the ability of enterohemmorhagic
Escherichia coli (EHEC) to survive in aquatic environments. It has been speculated a
correlation may exist between the genotype of an E. ...
A longitudinal mitochondrial DNA analysis of modern human hair samples from the Anyang region of China : implications for ancient DNA research
(2003)
In 1998, Dr. E. Molto was selected to conduct pilot research on the Hei Heru, Shang
Dynasty site in Anyang, China. A major component of this research is the ancient DNA
analysis o f human remains recovered at Anyang. ...
Radiation response in cells derived from individuals with hereditary breast cancer / by Lindsay Sutherland.
(2008)
Inherited germline mutations in the tumour suppressor gene BRCA1 (BReast CAncer susceptibility gene 1) can lead to an increased risk for various cancers. Evidence now suggests that epigenetic changes resulting in reduced ...
Factors affecting the distribution and transmission of Elaphostrongylus rangiferi in caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) of Newfoundland
(2000)
Elaphostrongylus rangiferi is an introduced parasite in caribou (Rangifer tararuhts
caribou) of Newfoundland and has caused at least two epizootics of cerebrospinal
elaphostrongylosis (CSE), a debilitating, neurologic ...
Method optimization and gene expression analysis for interferon Kappa mRNA in HPV-associated cervical disease / by Correne A. Decarlo.
(2008)
Interferons (IFNs) are a common biological treatment option for many cancers as well as for human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated diseases, but current IFN treatments have not been optimized as disease progression subsists ...
Core areas of habitat use : the influence of spatial scale of analysis on interpreting summer habitat selection by moose (Alces alces)
(2005)
I investigated summer habitat selection patterns within the home ranges of 60 GPS-collared
adult female moose (Alces alces) in northwestern Ontario. I developed a model that
identified the ‘summer’ period for moose and ...
Modulation of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms by Pseudomonas spp. secreted substances / by Lauren Davey.
(2008)
Listeria monocytogenes, a food-borne pathogen associated with severe disease, forms resistant biofilms which enable it to persist in food processing environments. Recently, surface active compounds and other microbially ...
Pulp and paper mill bacteria as a potential source of novel encapsulation materials / by Peter R. Godin.
(2008)
"A total of 194 bacteria were isolated from pulp and paper biofilms from a mill in Thunder Bay, Canada. Diversity of the 194 bacteria indicated that the amounts of bacteria found in these biofilms may be influenced by ...
Interaction of Pseudomonas putida and Listeria monocytogenes in mixed culture biofilms / by Greg Kepka.
(2008)
"Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes problems in many food processing plants because it produces biofilms and thus is difficult to control by regular cleaning and sanitizing procedures. It has been ...
