Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Technological innovation drives scientific discovery, unlocks new avenues of research, and allows us to ask questions in ways that were previously unavailable. With each technological advance, our ability to perturb and explore biological systems has grown in ways previously unimagined. The theme of my thesis is the development of new technologies in biology. To this end, I have worked on three technologies that contribute to the areas of protein sequencing, RNA barcoding for trans-splicing and single-cell applications, and a new method for transcriptional knockdown.
In my first project, digital analysis of proteins by end sequencing (DAPES), we set out to …
