Automated liquid dispensing pin for DNA microarray applications
This thesis describes the research and development of a new liquid dispensing/aspiring system that is capable of producing micro sized spots/droplets for molecular biology research and analysis. In particular, the application is focused on DNA microarray fabrication with the goals of smaller spot …

Comparison of different differential expression analysis tools for rna-seq data
In molecular biology research, RNA-seq is a relatively new method for transcriptome profiling. It utilizes the next generation sequencing technology to provide huge amount information about the variety and abundance of RNA present in an organism of interest at a specific state and a given time. One …

MUPrimer : a tool for finding allele specific PCR-primers for homologous gene sequences
… of DNA has proven to be a powerful tool in molecular biology research. Synthetic short oligonucleotide DNA sequences (primers) provide specificity for the reaction by annealing to the target template DNA and providing the substrate for polymerase chain extension during the PCR. Primers are …

An extraction method using whole insect larvae to isolate DNA from a deceased host.
… most forensic laboratories do not have. This research assessed whole larvae DNA extraction, as a means to identify their food source. Two pigs, which were used as human analogs, were deposited in a secluded area and allowed to decompose. Pig #1 was unaltered, while pig #2 was deposited with …

Deoxyribonucleic acid restriction/modification systems and gene transfer strategies in Ruminococcus albus 8 and Ruminococcus flavefaciens FD-1
… establishment of a stable DNA transfer system. Research to date has shown that Ruminococcus can be classified as a genus resistant to transformation, and that electroporation may offer the only means to introduce foreign DNA. This thesis aims to elucidate and solve limitations to the utilization …

Engineering control of eukaryotic translation with application to the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
… gene expression is a fundamental component of molecular biology research. In many systems, tools exist that allow generalizable control of gene expression at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level. Plasmodium falciparum, the protozoan parasite responsible for the majority of death …

Causation and Explanation in Molecular Developmental Biology
… of science from the perspective of current molecular and developmental research. Each chapter explores the ways in which particular phenomena or discoveries in molecular biology influences our philosophical understanding of the nature of scientific knowledge. The introductory prologue draws …

Bioinformatics approaches to analysing RNA mediated regulation of gene expression
… functions. The role of carriers of actual molecular structure and functions was believed to be exclusively assumed by proteins encoded in particular segments of the genome, the genes. In the process of converting the information stored genes into functional proteins, RNA – a third major …
