Background The relationship between mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA CN) and cardiovascular disease remains elusive. Methods and Results We performed cross-sectional and prospective association analyses of blood-derived mtDNA CN and cardiovascular disease outcomes in 27 316 participants in 8 cohorts of multiple racial and ethnic groups with whole-genome sequencing. We also performed Mendelian randomization to explore causal relationships of mtDNA CN with coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiometabolic risk factors (obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia).

Some melanocortin receptors and the accessory protein MRAP1 have been found to interact in novel ways when co-expressed in the same cells following stimulation with either ACTH (1-24) or αMSH. These interactions have been seen for mammalian, bird, and some bony fish melanocortin receptors. Such analysis has not been done yet on the amphibian melanocortin receptors, MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R. To this end, this study was done on the effects regarding ligand sensitivity for ACTH (1-24) and αMSH, when the MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R paralogs of the amphibian, Xenopus tropicalis were expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells either …
Error In Dna Mixture Analysis: Why The Application Of Forensic Dna Is Not A Perfect Science, Rachel Bisbee
Error In Dna Mixture Analysis: Why The Application Of Forensic Dna Is Not A Perfect Science, Rachel Bisbee
Honors Program: Senior Projects (Public)
Ever since the first use of DNA evidence in 1986, it has been heavily relied on in court as a means of both convicting felons and exonerating wrongfully imprisoned people. It is a valuable tool in investigations, but like everything else, is not perfect. There have been studies on the accuracy of DNA mixture interpretation in the past with varying results. This is because mixture interpretation is a complicated process that is not always as specific as would be ideal. This study attempted to determine if two students with the exact same education in forensic science and, more specifically, DNA …

Beyond Dna: Epigenetics And Proteomics In Forensic Science, Diane F. Eilerts
Themis: Research Journal of Justice Studies and Forensic Science
The use of genetic evidence in criminal cases is well established and has improved the public opinion and credibility of forensic science. However, several shortcomings associated with current genetic profiling techniques exist. Scientific research aimed at increasing the overall knowledge and understanding of biological factors will lead to the development of methods capable of improving the discriminating power of DNA evidence, overcoming limitations associated with DNA evidence, or complementing current methods of DNA profiling. Increased research in the fields of epigenetics and proteomics are particularly promising and relevant to forensic science. Research suggests that epigenetic biomarkers can be used to …

Addressing The Black Box Phenomenon Of Genome Sequencing And Assembly, Brandon Carter
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
Genomics, a study of all genetic material in an organism, is a new discipline having a great impact on medicine, agriculture, and environmental phenomena. Most undergraduate faculty members were not formally trained in genomics and must retool themselves in order to stay current with these evolving technologies. Advances in sequencing technology have resulted in an explosion of “big data” that can only be managed and analyzed using digital methods. Multiple complex computer programs are required to teach students the concepts using hands-on methods. These programs are challenging to use, especially since the same faculty members lacking genomics training were not …

Technology Transfer: A View From The Trenches, Harvey Drucker
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Drucker, who has lab-wide responsibility for technology transfer at Argonne National Laboratory, argues that transferring rights in discoveries made through tax supported research to private entities can contribute to public welfare in many ways.
