Modeling Method for Increased Precision and Scope of Directly Measurable Fluxes at a Genome-Scale by Douglas McCloskey (1430353)

“…The majority of work using MFA has been limited to core models of metabolism due to challenges in implementing genome-scale MFA and the undesirable trade-off between increased scope and decreased precision in flux estimations. This work presents a tunable workflow for expanding the scope of MFA to the genome-scale without trade-offs in flux precision. …”

A Functional Requirement for Astroglia in Promoting Blood Vessel Development in the Early Postnatal Brain by Shang Ma (125139)

“…This, in turn, results in severe reductions in both the density and branching frequency of cortical blood vessels. Consistent with a delayed growth but not regression of vessels, we find neither significant net decreases in vessel density between different stages after normalizing for cortical expansion nor obvious apoptosis of endothelial cells in these mutants. …”

Octamethyloctahydrodibenzofluorenyl: Electronic Comparisons between a Sterically Expanded Ligand and Its Cyclopentadienyl Analogues by Craig J. Price (2293537)

“…The steric influences are undoubtedly important, but it is shown herein that electronics likely also play a crucial role. The electron richness of the Oct⁻ anion was directly measured by competitive deprotonation experiments, which reveal that the p<i>K</i>_a of OctH is 3.9 units higher than that of fluorene. …”

A Method for Selectively Enriching Microbial DNA from Contaminating Vertebrate Host DNA by George R. Feehery (477312)

“…<div><p>DNA samples derived from vertebrate skin, bodily cavities and body fluids contain both host and microbial DNA; the latter often present as a minor component. Consequently, DNA sequencing of a microbiome sample frequently yields reads originating from the microbe(s) of interest, but with a vast excess of host genome-derived reads. …”
