many discoveries, which in turn have allowed scientists to develop a better understanding on the way diseases originate in humans. Molecular biology in particular has allowed scientists to discover the way in which domains, found in proteins impact a genome. Domains are autonomous folding units that carry out specific functions and mechanisms in a certain protein. These functions consist of being responsible for interactions in the cell, which ultimately determines the role of the protein.…

The Burkholderia Taxonomy and Genomics Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp) belongs to the Burkholderia genus which contains over 40 species that inhabit a variety of ecological niches. The majority of species within this genus are non-pathogenic soil-dwelling bacteria, but a few species are highly pathogenic to humans and can result in severe disease [1]. This includes B. mallei, an obligate mammalian pathogen and the causative agent of glanders, which primarily affects horses and other solipeds…

closely related species and less conserved in not closely related species. The last hypothesis for this study is that the promoter regions of ctrA is more conserved in closely related species and less conserved in not closely related species. All sequenced genomes of alpha proteobacteria contain ctrA genes. CtrA regulates numerous events in the cell cycle. The metabolism and division of the cell wall, stalk synthesis, polar…

coloration retained in the adult. Maximum size up to 5m (16 feet), although this species may potentially grow larger.” (Muller, 1838) . “In this study, we have examined crocodilian relationships in phylogenetic analyses of seven mitochondrial genomes that have been sequenced in their entirety. The analyses did not support the morphologically acknowledged separate position of the gharial in the crocodilian tree.” (Janke,2005). This study is about the relationship of the phylogenetic analysis and…

Dr. Hudspeth grew up in the rural outskirts of Houston, Texas where he has said that his interest in science and nature flourished. He was a passionate collector of rocks, fossils, and shells along with a variety of animals. Hudspeth started his first research job at the age of 13 working with Dr. Peter Kellaway, who was a neurophysiologist at the Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Hudspeth’s passion for hearing was sparked while pursuing a Ph.D at Harvard. He states that the his interest was…

Introduction Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as fruit fly or vinigar fly coming under the family Drosophilidae. The normal life span of the flies are generally 30 – 60 days and it may vary depend upon the external conditions. These flies are sexually dimorphic. The female flies are comparatively bigger than the male flies. The males flies and females fly can be easily distinguish with size difference and the colour pattern. The male flies have a dark band on the abdomen. The presence…

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation and Sequencing (ChIP-seq) of Heat Shock Factor (HSF) Temporal Binding Sites during the Critical Period of 8-12 Hr After Egg Lay (AEL) in Drosophila melanogaster Embryogenesis Background Heat Shock Response was discovered by the Italian scientist Ferrucio Ritossa, when he saw puffs in the Drosophila polytene chromosome on inducing them with heat. It was later discovered that this Heat Shock Response was regulated by a transcription factor called Heat Shock Factor…

differential RNA expression occurs when transitioning female flowers to male flowers through CS treatment on Cannabis? My entire honor’s thesis will be performed in The Kane Lab using RNA donated from Skinny Pineapple LLC that will be prepared, sequenced, and analyzed on campus. This project will help better understand Cannabis’s gene expression patterns during vegetative…
