DNA sequence design of non-orthogonal binding networks, and application to DNA data storage
DNA has proven itself a powerful tool in a diverse array of nanotechnology-related domains, including molecular computation, nanostructure fabrication, and data storage. Most DNA-based systems focus on using sets of DNA sequences that are orthogonal to each other, such that each DNA sequence has a …

Reassessment of Species Boundaries and Phylogenetic Relationships in the Desmodium ciliare complex (Fabaceae) Using Morphological and DNA Data
… and nuclear ITS DNA were utilized. Based on phylogenetic analysis using 73 ITS and 12 <em>trnL</em>–<em>trnL</em>-<em>F</em> sequences, there was not enough resolution to circumscribe the <em>Desmodium </em>species of Mississippi, including the <em>D</em>. …

Human Mitochondrial DNA from 5th – 3rd Millennia BCE: An Analysis of Iberian Populations
… population dynamics are less clear. Ancient DNA data from the Neolithic period of coastal regions of the Iberian Peninsula are relatively scarce. The aim of the present study was to sequence DNA from Neolithic Iberians from the Spanish Levant (Catalonia) and the Portuguese Estremadura, …

Evaluation of the Genetic Management of the Endangered Mississippi Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis pulla)
… pulla) was analyzed using 2009 studbook data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service managed captive breeding and release program. Microsatellite DNA data provided information on shared founder genotypes, allowing for refined analysis of genetic variation in the population, and informed …

Testing the utility of the consortium for the barcoding of life's two 'agreed upon' plant DNA barcodes, matK and rbcL
DNA barcoding is the use of short standardized regions of DNA to identify unknown specimens to species. Currently, the zoological community has agreed that cytochrome oxidase I subunit 1 (COI), a mitochondrial gene region, will serve as the barcode region for all animal taxa. Due to oftentimes …

Population genetics and phylogeography of bobcats (Lynx rufus) using microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA
… questions, microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA data were used for relatedness measurements, spatial autocorrelation examinations, Bayesian assignment testing and sequence analysis of bobcats across their range. These analyses showed that, within southern Illinois, females were closely …

Investigation of DNA Variability and Phylogenetic Relationships of Perlesta (Plecoptera: Perlidae) in Mississippi
… of all species occurring in Mississippi using DNA data. Three species of <em>Perlesta</em> have been reported for Mississippi (<em>P. lagoi</em>, <em>P. placida</em>, and <em>P. shubuta</em>), but <em>P. placida</em> has no DNA sequences in public DNA repositories. In this project, DNA was …

Induction of Apoptosis and Necrosis By Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus in Chinook Salmon Embryo Cells
… Hoescht 33256 fluorometric analysis of isolated DNA. Data indicate that CHSE-214 cells are capable undergoing spontaneour apoptosis. Furthermore, IPNV (LWVRT) induces severe necrosis by 16 hr post-inoculation and mild apoptosis by 24 hr post-inoculation as indicated by epifluorescence microscopy. …

A Systematic Review of the Viola palmata Species Complex in the Gulf Coastal Plain and Southern Appalachians
… flowers, and cleistogamous seeds. Multiple nDNA and cpDNA regions were amplified, sequenced, and analyzed for phylogenetic analysis; four microsatellite loci were amplified, run on a gel for detection and sizing of alleles, and analyzed for population and/or geographic patterns. At each …

(Im)possible baby : how to stimulate discussions about possibilities of two-mum and two-dad children
… from same-sex couples. In this project, the DNA data of a lesbian couple was analyzed using 23andMe to simulate and visualize their potential children, and then we created a set of fictional, "what if' future family photos using this information to produce a hardcover album which was …

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARS: THE MOLECULAR SYSTEMATICS AND COMPARATIVE PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF LIVING GARS (ACTINOPTERYGII: LEPISOSTEIDAE)
… relationships among six of them using DNA data generated from four complete mitochondrial loci (cytb, CR, 12S, and 16S) and a single, partial nuclear locus--recombination activating protein 1 (RAG1) intron. A single outgroup taxon, the bowfin (<italic>Amia calva<italic>), was included …

A Method for Identification of Pancreatic Cancer through Methylation Signatures in Cell-Free DNA
… the body. Evaluation of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), specifically, detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), is being explored as an approach for non-invasive ‘liquid biopsy’ that can be deployed widely and cost-effectively to screen for early signs of disease. DNA methylation …

A structural study of M-DNA
In alkaline conditions, a complex called M-DNA is formed between a divalent metal ion, cobalt, nickel or zinc, and duplex DNA. The rate of formation and stability of M-DNA is dependent on many factors, including but not limited to temperature, pH, DNA sequence, and metal or DNA concentrations. It …

Improving the Performance and Precision of Bioinformatics Algorithms
… collect huge amounts of biological experimental data. Software tools for analyzing both genomic (DNA) and proteomic (protein) data with high speed and accuracy have thus become very important in modern biological research. This thesis presents several techniques for improving the performance and …

Nanopore-Based Readout of Encoded DNA Nanostructures
… a single molecule composed of a double strand of DNA. As the strand threads through the nanopore, attachments produce secondary peaks in the already reduced current. The ability to encode information in modification sequences and self-assemble designed strands through DNA nanotechnology opens up …

Coding for emerging archival storage media
The race between generating digital data and storing it prompted a search for new media to hold our data for centuries, with fused Silica and DNA in the lead. These media are in a rapid stage of research and development. Error Correcting Codes and coding schemes must be designed for these emerging …
