Molecular Epidemiology of Breast Cancer
… breast cancer risk. We hypothesized that since methylation of the promoter region is a common phenomenon of tumour suppressor genes, turning them off. Inherited methylation potential, in the form of common CpG-SNPs, might affect cancer risk. We conducted a large study in five different …

Mechanisms of Microbial Formation and Photodegradation of Methylmercury in the Aquatic Environment
… in natural settings: microbial mercury methylation and methylmercury photodegradation. The role of mercury speciation (influenced by environmental conditions) in determining the reactivity of mercury in these biological and photochemical reactions was the focus of this …

FACTORS AFFECTING MERCURY BIOMAGNIFICATION IN RIVERINE FOOD WEBS IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS: CLARK FORK RIVER BASIN, MONTANA, U.S.A.
… on two factors: a source of mercury and the potential for this mercury to become methylated. To compare the importance of these two factors in a riverine system I examine sites with varying sediment total mercury concentrations (source term) and varying environmental conditions affecting …
