Anthropogenic impacts: bringing multi-omic approaches to niche construction theory
Rayfield, Kristen (2023-05-12)Anthropogenic effects on the environment, ecology, and biodiversity of animals are not exclusive to the Anthropocene but extend deep into antiquity. In fact, many archaeologists and historical ecologists argue that the ... -
Application of untargeted metabolomics techniques based on LC-MS/MS to parasitic diseases and drug development
Lesani, Mahbobeh (2023-08-04)Metabolites are small chemical molecules less than 1500 Da such as carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids that provide different functions in organisms. These metabolites are the products of host metabolism or received ... -
Applying Anaerobic Microbial Cultivation, Molecular Techniques, and In-Silico Taxonomy to the Mammalian Microbiome
Miller, Samuel (2024-08-01)The mammalian gastrointestinal tract is an ecosystem home to a considerable number of bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes, viruses, and their genomic components, collectively termed the "microbiome." This microbiome consists ... -
EVALUATION OF METHANE-OXIDIZING BACTERIA PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES TO CHANGES IN OXYGEN CONCENTRATION, INTERACTIONS WITH NON-METHANE-OXIDIZING HETEROTROPHIC BACTERIA, AND THE TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION OF METHYLOCYSTIS SUFLITAE SP. NOV.
Garner, Christopher (2024-05-10)This work describes an in-depth investigation into how the methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) respond to changes that allow them to effectively function in their ecological role. This includes understanding their response ... -
Factors Influencing Ecological Dynamics of the Human Microbiome
Jacobson, David (2020-10-12)Human microbiomes are increasingly seen as a key to understanding human biology, whether it be in studying health/disease or in documenting human diversity. Anthropological interest in human microbiomes has primarily focused ... -
Interpretable deep neural networks for more accurate predictive genomics and genome-wide association studies
Badré, Adrien (2023-05)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and predictive genomics have become increasingly important in genetics research over the past decade. GWAS involves the analysis of the entire genome of a large group of individuals ... -
Novel Techniques for the Description and Interpretation of Microbial Communities in the Modern Human Gut and Ancient Human Oral Microbiome
Mann, Allison (2018)Studies of human–associated microbial communities are increasingly integrated into biological anthropology, allowing us to explore the role of microorganisms in aspects of human evolution, health, and disease. Despite ... -
Studies in Anthropological Metabolomic and Microbial Approaches
Haffner, Jacob J. (2023-05-12)Human biology is shaped by layers of interacting biomolecules, from genes to proteins and small molecules called metabolites. These molecules are crucial participants in biochemical reactions, representing biological ... -
STUDYING THE GASTROINTESTINAL MICROBIOME OF A TRADITIONAL PERUVIAN COMMUNITY
Patel, Nisha (2018-08-24)The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an ecosystem that is home to a plethora of bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes, and viruses, collectively termed the “gut microbiota” or “microbiome” when referring to the genetic ...
