Comparison Of The Regulatory Dynamics Of Related Small Gene Regulatory Networks That Control The Response To Cold Shock In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Natalie Williams
Comparison Of The Regulatory Dynamics Of Related Small Gene Regulatory Networks That Control The Response To Cold Shock In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Natalie Williams
Honors Thesis
The Dahlquist Lab investigates the global, transcriptional response of Sacchromyces cerevisiae, baker’s yeast, to the environmental stress of cold shock, using DNA microarrays for the wild type strain and strains deleted for a particular regulatory transcription factor. Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) consist of transcription factors (TF), genes, and the regulatory connections between them that control the resulting mRNA and protein expression levels. We use mathematical modeling to determine the dynamics of the GRN controlling the cold shock response to determine the relative influence of each transcription factor in the network. A family of GRNs has been derived from the …

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis studies virus dynamics within host by mathematical models, and topics discussed include viral release strategies, viral spreading mechanism, and interaction of virus with the immune system.
Firstly, we propose a delay differential equation model with distributed delay to investigate the evolutionary competition between budding and lytic viral release strategies. We find that when antibody is not established, the dynamics of competition depends on the respective basic reproduction numbers of the two viruses. If the basic reproductive ratio of budding virus is greater than that of lytic virus and one, budding virus can survive. When antibody is established for …
