Effects of 2.45 GHz EMF-RF Wi-Fi exposure on ATU1 Expression and Replication of Tetrahymena Thermophila
(2020-04-24)Our experiment explored whether 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi affected expression of the ATU1 gene in Tetrahymena thermophila. Our hypothesis was that exposure to Wi-Fi would result in a decrease in expression of the ATU1 gene. The protein ... -
Effects of Tocopheryl Acetate on FLP1 Expression, Growth Rate, and Feeding Behavior of Tetrahymena thermophila
(2020-04-24)The purpose of this experiment was to determine if tocopheryl acetate affects expression of the FLP1 gene and feeding behavior in Tetrahymena thermophila. Prior experiments have shown changes in feeding behavior caused by ... -
Non-ionizing electromagnetic field impact on ATR expression in Tetrahymena thermophila
(2020-04-24)In our experiment, we looked to see how exposure to extremely low frequency electric and magnetic fields (ELF-EMF) would impact the expression of a gene involved sensing DNA damage and arresting the cell cycle in Tetrahymena ... -
Single-Gene Dotplot Analysis is Effective in Predicting Cluster Assignment in Gordonia Bacteriophages
(2020-04-24)Bacteriophages, or “phages,” are a diverse group of bacteria-infecting viruses. There are estimated to be 10^31 phages on Earth, which creates a need to organize them into smaller groups to be able to study them more ... -
Why NASA should care about osteoarthritis: Metabolomic Analyses to Provide Insight into the Risk of Joint Unloading in Microgravity Environments
(2020-04-24)A recurring issue NASA faces is the health of their space crews’ before, during, and after space missions due to microgravity. A lack of joint loading is known to reduce articular cartilage (AC) thickness and increase the ...
