Development and analysis of molecular methods for functional metagenomics of the human gut microbiome
(University of Waterloo, 2016-03-21)Interest in the human microbiome has risen quickly in recent years as the microbes that live in and on our body have been implicated in a growing number of human health and disease states. This interest has been supported ... -
Discovering new viral lineages and estimating their abundance in wastewater
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-27)Wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged as a critical tool for tracking the spread of COVID-19. In addition to estimating the relative case numbers using qPCR, SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA can be extracted from wastewater ... -
Experimental characterization of a catalytically active flagellin variant in Clostridium haemolyticum
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-18)The bacterial flagellum is made up of approximately 20,000 subunits of the monomeric protein, flagellin, and plays a role in cell motility and pathogenesis. The extreme sequence diversity within the hypervariable region ... -
Functional characterization and bioinformatic analysis of glutamine synthetases of Ochrobactrum anthropi
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-22)Glutamine synthetase (GS) is an essential enzyme required for the conversion of ammonium (NH4+) into glutamine. It is commonly classified into GSI, GSII, and GSIII based on molecular size, number of subunits, underlying ... -
The Proximon: Representation, Evaluation, and Applications of Metagenomic Functional Interactions
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-19)The effective use of metagenomic functional interactions represents a key prospect for a variety of applications in the field of functional metagenomics. By definition, metagenomic operons represent such interactions but ...
