Efficiency and accuracy validation for incremental changes of a large-scale protein structure database [abstract]

Nelson, Heather H. (University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)

Proteins, the essential building blocks of organisms, have many important roles, from providing structure to aiding movement and digestion. The construction of proteins involves one or more polypeptide chains that fold ...
Genealogy browser: A framework for the management and analysis of genotypic and phenotypic plant data [abstract]

Nelson, Heather H.; Shyu, Chi-Ren (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)

Researchers who study plants need an efficient way to manage data that provides insight into genealogy and its effect on genotypic and phenotypic expressions. Traditional pencil and paper methods, arising from the need to ...
Polymorphisms in Nucleotide Excision Repair Genes, Arsenic Exposure, and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer in New Hampshire

Applebaum, Katie M.; Karagas, Margaret R.; Hunter, David J. (David John); Catalano, Paul J.; Byler, Steven H.; Morris, Steve; Nelson, Heather H. (Environmental Health Perspectives, 2007)

Arsenic exposure may alter the efficiency of DNA repair. UV damage is specifically repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER), and common genetic variants in NER may increase risk for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). We ...
