Circularized Chromosomes In The Eukaryotic Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Blake Hoover, Milissa Mefford
Circularized Chromosomes In The Eukaryotic Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Blake Hoover, Milissa Mefford
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
When eukaryotes first evolved, a transition occurred from circular chromosomes to linear chromosomes. The ends of chromosome have protective caps comprised of DNA repeats called telomeres. Telomeres play key roles in two of the biggest problems in modern medicine: aging and cancer. As individuals age, telomeres shorten due to an inability to fully copy the chromosome ends during replication. In cancer, on the other hand, the enzyme telomerase is upregulated to maintain telomere length and allow the unending cellular proliferation characteristic of this disease. The goal of our work is to explore the evolution of chromosomes and unravel the roles …

A Multi Wavelength Study Of Pks2135 147, Parker Poulos, Dirk Grupe
A Multi Wavelength Study Of Pks2135 147, Parker Poulos, Dirk Grupe
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
I present a multi-wavelength study of the radio-loud quasar PKS2135-147, a variable source in X-ray and UV emission. First identified in 1966, this source is variable on the scale of months to years. X-ray and UV data from Swift are primarily used in this study, and this source has been observed by Swift since 2013. It can be seen that the variable emission from this source is primarily due to accretion rate fluctuations, though there are also contributions from the jet.

“We (Don’T) Talk About It”: Parent’S Dismissing Strategies And Teen’S Discomfort With Sadness And Anger, Hannah Daniels, Kathryn Gallenstein, Lauren Wright, Shari Kidwell
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
In recent years, greater attention has been paid towards teaching individuals to be mindful and accepting of negative emotions rather than pushing them away. Gottman, Fainsilber, & Katz (1997) described parents as emotion coaching if they treated the child’s feelings as important and an opportunity to teach about feelings. Emotion coaching has been associated with children having less anxiety, less anger, better social skills, and higher self-esteem. The present study hypothesizes that parent’s attitudes and behaviors towards their teen’s feelings will be correlated with their teen’s own acceptance and comfort with feelings. Specifically, in our study of 21 families, parents …

Student teaching is the capstone of student teaching preparation. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed many aspects of student teaching; and students have had to adapt to a new way of both learning and teaching. As the world turned upside down, student teachers were expected to interact with their students and provide instruction. The pandemic caused student teachers to develop new ways to engage lessons and hold conversations in a virtual environment. This pilot study examines the ways in which a small group of student teachers in eastern Kentucky internalized their experience.

Identification Of Kentucky Land Snail Species, Tessa Whalen, Allen Risk
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Land snails are members of the Phylum Mollusca and the Class Gastropoda. The importance of land snails to their native ecosystems has been greatly underestimated and understudied. For example, land snails play a huge role in the cycling of micronutrients in their ecosystems, they are active in the dispersal of plant seeds and fungal spores, and they have been shown to be bioindicators for vertebrates of conservation concern. They also contribute to the ecosystem by leaving their shells behind when they die, which is then used as a source of calcium carbonate by many species, and used in the formation …

Genetically Screening For Gain Of Function Mutations In Telomerase Rna, Jose Childers, Melissa Mefford
Genetically Screening For Gain Of Function Mutations In Telomerase Rna, Jose Childers, Melissa Mefford
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Telomeres are DNA structures located at the ends of linear chromosomes. They function, in part, to allow DNA ends to be copied before cells divide. Since the standard DNA replication machinery can’t fully copy telomeres, most eukaryotic cells require the vital ribonucleoprotein enzyme telomerase. Telomerase is composed of a TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase protein) and telomerase RNA. As we age, telomeres shorten since most human cells do not express telomerase. If telomeres grow too short, it triggers a cell-cycle arrest known as senescence, which can ultimately result in cell death. On the other hand, >85% of human cancers show over-expression …

“The Never Ending Story:” Circularizing Ch. Viii In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Chisom Iloegbunam, Melissa Mefford
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Chromosomes are molecules of DNA that hold large quantities of genetic material in an organism. Generally in nature, eukaryotic chromosomes are linear while prokaryotic chromosomes are circular. Since they are linear, eukaryotic chromosomes possess telomeres, or repetitive nucleotide sequences, on their ends. This significant difference in structure requires different additions to the basic replication process. In prokaryotes, replication starts at a single point on the chromosome and continues until the whole chromosome has been copied. In eukaryotes, replication happens in fragments with multiple starting points. Because of this more complicated replication, the free 3’ ends cannot be fully copied. Unchecked, …

Comparing Growth Of Mutant Strains Of Acinetobacter Baumannii To Wild Type After Treatment With Mitomycin C, Kaylee Compton, Deborah Cook, Janelle Hare
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
In Acinetocbacter baumannii bacteria, an error-prone DNA damage repair response is induced by the self-cleavage of the UmuDAb protein. Previous experiments indicating that a ddrR mutant becomes growth sensitive after DNA damage suggested that ddrR is also involved in this process. To explore this relationship, eight mutant strains of A. baumannii were made with different combinations of mutations in either ddrR and/or the adjacent gene, A1S_3662. Our experiment compared the growth of wild type cells to strains containing various mutations: DC4 (no gene mutations, just an antibiotic resistance marker, Kanr), DC5 (stop codon mutation in ddrR), and DC6 (both the …

Role Of Apolipoprotein E In Parkinson's Disease, Georgia Clark, Ilsun White
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease that affects more than 10 million people worldwide. PD is a movement disorder, which causes tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. Although PD is characterized by degeneration of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra, the precise cause of degeneration or loss of dopamine neurons is unknown. Studies suggest that specific gene mutations and environmental factors may trigger PD. Other studies suggest that abnormal accumulation of alpha-synuclein may cause degeneration of dopamine neurons, and that Lewy bodies which contain alpha-synuclein are a histological hallmark of PD. Recent studies suggest that high levels of …
