Identification and quantification of lipid metabolites in cotton fibers: Reconciliation with metabolic pathway predictions from DNA databases.
The lipid composition of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, L) fibers was determined. Fatty acid profiles revealed that linolenate and palmitate were the most abundant fatty acids present in fiber cells. Phosphatidylcholine was the predominant lipid class in fiber cells, while phosphatidylethanolamine, …

Investigating Causal Inference of Policies: Ban the Box on Employment, Wage Transparency on Wage Gap, and DNA Databases on Serious Crimes
… employment, Wage Transparency on wage gaps, and DNA databases on serious crimes. Chapter 1 - Ban the Box (BTB) policies move the inquiry about the candidate’s criminal record to later in the hiring process. The intention of this policy is to have employers evaluate the candidates based on their …

Analysis of a Tn917 Transposon Mutant and Preliminary Characterization of NonHemolytic, Catalase-Deficient Variants of Staphylococcus aureus
… was isolated, sequenced, and compared with known DNA databases. Sequence comparisons revealed the insertion occurred in one of six rRNA DNA operons, which was confirmed by Southern analysis. Transduction of the transposon insertion back into the parental strain did not result in a mutant phenotype …

Exploration of Microbial Genomic Sequences via Comparative Analysis
… likely protein coding sequences in prokaryotic DNA by combining comparative analysis of DNA sequences with more common noncomparative methods. In the comparative component of the analysis, regions of DNA are aligned with related sequences from the DNA databases; if the translation of the aligned …

Investigation of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of iNOS gene expression in infection of natural populations of Apodemus sylvaticus with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii
… relation to infected or uninfected animals. The DNA sequences of the iNOS and Arginase genes of A. sylvaticus were not available in the DNA databases. PCR amplification, based on development of primers, from related rodent sequences were used to build up a partial sequence of both genes. …

Evaluating the role and impact of forensic DNA profiling on key areas of the criminal justice system
The advent of the modem technique of forensic DNA profiling has resulted in a lively union between one of the more advanced and dynamic disciplines of modern science and what is, arguably, society's most revered, influential and complex institution, the criminal justice system (CJS). The alliance, …

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 …

Empirical Analyses on Public Safety
… and federal policy decisions on public safety. DNA databases are useful tools for improving public safety. While past research examines the effects of national or state-level databases, little is known about the distinct benefits of a local, District Attorney-run DNA database. Two key advantages …
