Investigating the Role of the IP₃ Signalling Pathway in RNA Interference in C. elegans
(2020-07-31)Both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP₃) mediated signalling and RNA interference are widespread processes with fundamental roles in animal cell function. In the nematode C. elegans these two pathways have been shown to ... -
Regulation of γ-Tubulin Ring Complex Recruitment in Drosophila
(2020-04-25)Microtubule nucleation is catalysed by γ-tubulin ring complexes (γ-TuRCs) which are recruited to specific microtubule organising centres (MTOCs) within cells. The recruitment and activation of γ-TuRCs allows regulation of ... -
Virus discovery using current and novel methods
(2020-07-31)Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology allows researchers to sequence genetic material from a wide range of sources, including patient and environmental samples, and ancient remains. The recovery of viruses from such ... -
Predicting the Antigenic Evolution of Influenza Viruses with Application to Vaccination Strategy
(2020-05-16)Seasonal influenza viruses cause substantial worldwide mortality and morbidity every year. The evolution of these viruses comprise unique systems for studying natural evolutionary processes in real-time. Host immune systems ...
