Large-Scaleoff-Target Identificationusing Fast And Accurate Dual Regularized Oneclass Collaborative Filtering And Its Application To Drug Repurposing, Hansaim Lim, Alexsandar Poleksic, Yuan Yao, Hanghang Tong, Di He, Luke Zhuang, Patrick Meng, Lei Xie

Faculty Work

Target-based screening is one of the major approaches in drug discovery. Besides the intended target, unexpected drug off-target interactions often occur, and many of them have not been recognized and characterized. The off-target interactions can be responsible for either therapeutic or side effects. Thus, identifying the genome-wide off-targets of lead compounds or existing drugs will be critical for designing effective and safe drugs, and providing new opportunities for drug repurposing. Although many computational methods have been developed to predict drug-target interactions, they are either less accurate than the one that we are proposing here or computationally too intensive, thereby limiting …

Nitrogen Loading Leads To Increased Carbon Accretion In Both Invaded And Uninvaded Coastal Wetlands, Jason P. Martina, William S. Currie, Deborah E. Goldberg, Kenneth J. Elgersma

Faculty Work

Gaining a better understanding of carbon (C) dynamics across the terrestrial and aquatic landscapes has become a major research initiative in ecosystem ecology. Wetlands store a large portion of the global soil C, but are also highly dynamic ecosystems in terms of hydrology and N cycling, and are one of the most invaded habitats worldwide. The interactions between these factors are likely to determine wetland C cycling, and specifically C accretion rates. We investigated these interactions using MONDRIAN, an individual-based model simulating plant growth and competition and linking these processes to N and C cycling. We simulated the effects of …

The Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I Gene Occurs On A Minichromosome With Extensive Heteroplasmy In Two Species Of Chewing Lice, Geomydoecus Aurei And Thomomydoecus Minor, Lucas L. Pietan, Theresa A. Spradling, James W. Demastes

Faculty Work

In animals, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) typically occurs as a single circular chromosome with 13 protein-coding genes and 22 tRNA genes. The various species of lice examined previously, however, have shown mitochondrial genome rearrangements with a range of chromosome sizes and numbers. Our research demonstrates that the mitochondrial genomes of two species of chewing lice found on pocket gophers, Geomydoecus aurei and Thomomydoecus minor, are fragmented with the 1,536 base-pair (bp) cytochrome-oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene occurring as the only protein-coding gene on a 1,916–1,964 bp minicircular chromosome in the two species, respectively. The cox1 gene of T. …

Effects Of Predator Satiation On Seed Predation In New Roadside Prairie Plantings, Jessica Riebkes

Annual Graduate Student Symposium

This poster is a summary of the work I have done for my master's thesis. The goal of this research was to treat new prairie plantings in roadside rights-of-way with a plentiful source of supplemental seed in order to satiate seed predators. The goal of satiating predators was to reduce predation on prairie seed, improving seedling establishment of the planted species.

Effects Of Soil Type And Diversity On Soil Respiration And Litter Decomposition In A Perennial Biofuel Production System, Jordan Young

Annual Graduate Student Symposium

For my master's thesis, I researched soil respiration and litter decomposition at the Cedar River Ecological Research Site. Respiration and decomposition are important processes in the understanding of carbon sequestration, which is one of the main benefits of using biofuels. Cellulosic biofuels can be produced from a wide diversity of plants on a wide range of soil types, and these factors can influence the rate of carbon sequestration, so I investigated the effects of plant diversity and soil type in the context of perennial biofuel production.
