▼ The goal of this work was to reveal how various pyridines are transported and assimilated in Salmonella enterica. In the first strategy, mutants were isolated that allow the use of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) as a sole pyridine source when all known import routes are blocked. The major responsible mutations (pnuP*) affected a transmembrane-spanning protein, whose closest homolog is YegT, a putative nucleoside transporter. A minor class (pnuP*) affected the ydeA gene encoding a homolog of drug:H+ antiporters. It is suggested that PnuD and PnuP are both adapted transporters that have been altered to transport nicotinamide ribonucleoside (NmR). As seen for the PnuC transporter, assimilation of NMN using PnuD* or PnuP* depended on AphA and Nadl(T) functions. It is suggested that NMN is converted to NmR prior to import through PnuC, PnuD*, or PnuP*, and NmR is phosphorylated by Nadl(T) after entry. In the second strategy, mutants were isolated that improve quinolinic acid (Qa) assimilation. Mutants able to grow on a low concentration of Qa affected eight different loci. The affected genes were grouped into three categories based on their mode of action. Group I included four classes of mutations that recruited an adapted transporter: the pnuF* (yabN), pnuG* (opp), pnuH* (kefA), and pnul* mutations. It is suggested that wild-type PnuF and Opp may contribute to pyridine transport under some conditions. Group II comprised mutations in genes encoding enzymes involved in glycolysis: pgi, pfkA, and ptsG. It is proposed that these mutations enhance Qa assimilation by increasing the level of cAMP, which induces Qa transporter(s). Group III (pnuM) appeared to amplify the gabP gene encoding the GABA permease. This is the first report, in which the GABA transporter has been shown to transport Qa in any organism.

▼ <i>Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus</i>
est une tique des bovins à un hôte qui se trouve dans les zones
tropicales et subtropicales. Cet ectoparasite a un impact
économique très important sur l’élevage bovin dans toutes les
régions où il se trouve. Au Brésil, par exemple, les pertes dues à
son impact direct et indirect ont été estimées à 2 milliards de
dollars US en 2000. Le contrôle des populations de tiques des
bovins repose essentiellement sur l’utilisation d’acaricides.
L’utilisation intensive de ce moyen de lutte a eu pour conséquence
le développement de résistances à la majorité des classes
d’acaricides disponibles sur le marché. Un suivi local de la
résistance aux acaricides est essentiel afin que les éleveurs
puissent recevoir des informations sur les composés auxquels les
populations de tiques présentes dans leur établissement sont
résistantes et être guidés dans le choix de composés de
remplacement à disposition. A une échelle globale, le suivi de la
résistance permet d’observer sa progression afin d’essayer de
ralentir son développement et d’allonger la durée d’utilisation des
composés. Les tests <i>in vitro</i> sont des
méthodes très utiles pour détecter la résistance des tiques. La FAO
recommande deux d’entre eux, l’un utilisant des larves, nommé
Larval Packet test (LPT), l’autre utilisant des adultes, appelé
Adult Immersion Test (AIT). Chaque test a ses avantages et ses
inconvénients : le LPT est un test laborieux qui prend beaucoup de
temps alors que le AIT nécessite une grande quantité de tiques. Ces
désavantages limitent le nombre de composés et de doses pouvant
être testés, limitant ainsi l’information obtenue. Pour surmonter
ces difficultés, nous avons développé un nouveau test, nommé Larval
Tarsal Test (LTT), qui permet de tester de nombreux composés en peu
de temps et avec un minimum de tiques. Dans ce test, des œufs de
tiques sont distribués dans des puits de plaques de microtritation
préalablement traités avec les acaricides voulant être testés. Les
œufs sont incubés jusqu’à l’éclosion des larves, qui sont ainsi
exposées aux composés. La résistance des souches de tiques est
alors évaluée en fonction de la mortalité des larves écloses. La
capacité du LTT à détecter la résistance a été comparée au LPT, un
des tests recommandés par la FAO. Pour cela, une souche de tiques
sensible ainsi qu’une souche résistante de référence ont été
exposées à neuf composés de cinq classes principales d’acaricides :
les organophosphorés (OP), les pyréthroïdes de synthèse (SP), les
amidines, les lactones macrocycliques (ML) et les phénylpyrazoles.
Le LTT a permis d’obtenir de bonnes courbes de dose-réponse, il
s’est montré aussi sensible que le LPT et, à mortalités
équivalentes, a nécessité des doses de composés nettement plus
basses que le LPT. Ayant démontré que le LTT est un test
adéquat, des populations de tiques provenant d’Argentine, d’Afrique
du Sud et d’Australie ont été envoyées en Suisse pour évaluer leur
résistance à l’aide du LTT. Ces tests ont confirmé l’intérêt du LTT
à être utilisé pour…

▼ SNmac variants resistant to 3TC were generated by in vitro passage with drug selection. C8166 human T-cells were infected with SIVmac32H and passaged in tissue culture with increasing 3TC selective pressure. At 8 weeks (2.5uM 3TC) viral variants were capable of growth at > 1 OOO-fold the normal inhibitory concentration of3TC, and at 24 weeks (750uM 3TC) were capable of growth at >4000-fold normal inhibitory concentration. RT-coding regions of3TC-resistant variants were then PCR-amplified, cloned, and sequenced. All 2.5 uM clones sequenced contained a M1841 (ATG->ATA) substitution, while all 750 uM clones contained a M184V (ATG->GTA) substitution. We introduced M1841 and M184V mutations into SIVmac239 by site-directed mutagenesis and analyzed the susceptibility of these mutants to several antiviral compounds. M1841 and M184V mutants displayed elevated 3TC resistance (IC50's >500uM for both, versus 1.8uM for wild type SN), thus substantiating the role of these mutations in SIV resistance to 3TC.
Cellules de la ligne humaine C8166 étaient infectes avec le VISmac32H et propages en culture de tissu avec de la pression sélective exercée par le 3TC. Après huit semaines (2.5uM 3TC) les variants étaient capable de croissance a > 1000 -fois la concentration inhibitoire normale de 3TC. Après vingt-quatre semaines (750uM 3TC), les variants étaient capable de croissance a>4000-fois la normale. Séquences RT des variants résistantes a3TC (2.5 et 750IlM) étaient amplifiées par PCR, clonées, puis séquencées. Tous les clones résistants (2.5IlM) séquences avait un mutation MI84I. Tous les clones résistants (750tlM) séquence avait un mutation MI84V (ATG~GTA). Nous avons introduit des mutations MI84I et Ml84V dans le VISmac239 par mutagenese dirigée. Les formes mutées ont démontrées un résistance élevée au 3TC (IC5o>500uM pour MI84I et MI84V, versus 1.8uM pour le type sauvage VIS). Ceci justifie le rôle qu'ont ces mutations auprès de la résistance qu'a le VIS au 3TC.

▼ Mutation is the ultimate source of the genetic variation—including genetic variation for mutation rate itself—that fuels evolution. Selection to increase the genomic mutation rate, driven by selective sweeps of beneficial mutations, can be strong and rapid where genetic linkage is present, as evidenced by numerous observations in experimental microbial populations. Selection to decrease the mutation rate, in contrast, is expected to depend on avoidance of mutational load and act over a longer time scale. In keeping with this latter expectation, there have been relatively few experimental observations of the evolution of reduced genomic mutation rates. Here, I report the rapid evolution of reduced mutation rates in hypermutable E. coli populations propagated at extremely small effective size—a circumstance under which selection is generally minimized. I hypothesize that high deleterious mutation pressure can strengthen indirect selection favoring lower mutation rates in these populations, and find both phenotypic and genotypic evidence to support this hypothesis. Additionally, I use simulations to analyze the effect of high deleterious mutation pressure on nascent neutral lineages that arise in an expanding asexual population and find that the spread of these lineages can be impaired. I discuss these results in the light of fates of novel mutations and point to future work that will involve studying the fates of adaptive mutation under high deleterious mutation pressure.

▼ Mutation is a powerful technique that researchers have studied for several decades in the context of imperative code. For example,
mutation testing is commonly considered a '"gold standard"' for test suite quality.
Mutation in the context of declarative languages is a less studied problem. This thesis introduces a foundation for
mutation-driven analyses for Alloy, a first-order, declarative language based on relations. Specifically, we introduce a family of
mutation operators for Alloy models and define algorithms for applying the operators on different parts of the models. We embody these operators and algorithms in our prototype tool MuAlloy that provides a GUI-based front-end for customizing the application of
mutation operators. To demonstrate the potential of our approach, we illustrate the use of MuAlloy in two application scenarios: (1)
mutation testing for Alloy (in the spirit of traditional
mutation testing for imperative languages); and (2) program repair for Alloy using
mutation.

▼ Cancer is a disease that results from alteration of the cellular genome. The sources of these changes are multifarious, and in many cases unknown. This thesis focuses on the polynucleotide cytosine deaminase, APOBEC3B, as a newly discovered source of mutation in multiple human cancers. As a deaminase, APOBEC3B converts cytosines to uracils in single-stranded DNA. These uracil lesions are mutagenic as failure to properly repair them can result in a wide variety of mutation types.
The initial discovery of this mutational phenomenon was described mechanistically using a variety of biochemical, genetic, and cellular assays in breast cancer cell lines. Follow-up work using publicly available next generation sequencing and clinical data indicated that this effect is operating in a large proportion of breast cancers. Expanded bioinformatic analysis that assessed APOBEC3B's potential impact was expanded to include 18 other human cancer types in addition to breast. This work shows that APOBEC3B is likely a significant contributor to the genetic heterogeneity in breast, head & neck, bladder, cervical, and lung (adeno- and squamous cell) carcinomas as evidenced by differential levels of expression in cancer tissues, increased mutation load, mutation clusters (kataegis), and an APOBEC3B mutation signature in tumors expressing high levels of this enzyme. Taken together, this thesis is a body of work describing a previously unappreciated source of genetic heterogeneity in several human cancers.

▼ Environmental effects on
mutation have been documented
for many years but have concentrated on agents that directly
interact with DNA.
Mutation research in its early history
investigated a variety of more mundane environmental factors at
levels that inhibited biological function and attempted to
characterize their mutagenicity. This thesis revisits these old
questions armed with more modern methods. It consists of one review
chapter and three experimental chapters. The review chapter
proposes that biological organization itself acts to direct
mutation pressure, and that many mutations are context dependent
within this organization. Experimentally, I performed an
approximately 1,500-generation
mutation accumulation (MA)
experiment using the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as an
evolutionary genetic model. This thesis investigates the rates and
distribution of effects of new mutations on fitness when they
accumulate under a moderate salt stress. The first experimental
section describes the production of the MA lines, measures the
diploid fitness traits mitotic growth rate and sporulation, and
uses changes in fitness among replicate lines to infer
mutation
parameters affecting these traits.
Mutation rate estimates for
these traits were roughly doubled in the salt stress treatment. The
proportion of beneficial mutations was high for mutations affecting
sporulation in both MA treatments but zero for growth rate.
Measurements of haploid viability and haploid growth rate on
strains derived from the diploid MA lines were used to infer
mutation parameters.
Mutation rates affecting haploid growth were
ten-fold higher in our salt-line derivatives than those derived
from the non-stress treatment. Variance component analysis
identified a large fraction of genetic variation arising from
differences among haploids within the same tetrad. This component
was significantly larger in the salt MA treatment than the
non-stress treatment. MA lines were subjected to a novel weak-acid
stress.
Mutation rate estimates were 38-fold higher in the salt MA
treatment when lines were tested under acid stress.
Cross-environmental genetic correlation for growth in acid stress
versus standard media was significantly different between the two
MA treatments suggesting that both MA environment and test
environment are important factors when considering mutational
effects on fitness.

▼ Objective: The prevalence of genetic mutations in congenital hypothyroidism (CH) remains undetermined. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of mutations in DUOX2, TSHR, TG, PAX8, and TPO among severe permanent primary CH. Methods: Between April 1999 and March 2011, 114,733 newborns were screened for CH in Akita Prefecture, Japan. Among them, 330 were suspected of having CH and were referred to pediatricians. We recruited 40 patients who were referred to our institute. Among them, we identified 9 permanent primary CH patients who were severel y affected with an initial TSH .20 mU/l upon newborn screening and performed direct sequencing of the 5 candidate genes. Results: 3 of 9 patients (33%) had mutations in PAX8, TPO, and TSHR. Among the severely affected subjects, 60% had thyroid dysgenesis (TD), while for patients with initial TSH upon screening <20 mU/l only 12% had TD. Conclusions: Despite the high frequency of TD, the detection rate of mutations among severe permanent primary CH was higher than expected. This study suggests that the genetic analysis of 5 genes, namely, DUOX2, TSHR, TG, PAX8, and TPO, is useful for the diagnosis of CH, and that the actual prevalence of genetic mutations among CH might be higher than as previously estimated.

▼ In the past few decades, great progress has been made in uncovering the molecular bases of many human diseases. As we begin to appreciate the complex cellular architecture, the "one-gene/one-enzyme/one-function" concept is no longer apt to explain the complex genotype-phenotype relationships. In fact, the cell functions as an intricate network of interacting genes, gene products and metabolites. Perturbations in biological networks may underlie many disease phenotypes. My dissertation examines the mechanisms of human diseases and disease mutations in the context of biological networks. First, I investigated the regulatory effects of transcription factors (TFs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) on target gene expression, protein-protein interaction and disease association in an integrated gene regulation network. My results suggest that TFs and miRNAs occupy distinct niches in the overall regulatory network within the cell. While TFs tend to regulate intra-module clusters, miRNAs tend to regulate intermodule clusters. Next, to better understand different molecular mechanisms through which mutations lead to diseases, I examined the effects of disease-associated mutations with different inheritance modes and molecular types in a three-dimensional protein interactome network. I found that although recessive mutations on the interaction interface of two interacting proteins tend to cause the same disease, this widelyaccepted "guilt-by-association" principle does not apply to dominant mutations. Furthermore, my analyses suggest that a significant fraction of truncating mutations, which are often considered as "loss-of-function" mutations, can generate functional protein products. Then, I investigated the molecular phenotypes of human disease mutations that are native in the orthologous proteins of other species. As these mutations are potentially compensated in the other species through epistatic selection, they are named potentially epistatic mutations (PEMs). Here, we experimentally demonstrated that PEMs are less deleterious than regular disease mutations, and identified potential intra- and inter-protein compensatory mutations for the PEMs. Finally, I set up a variant prioritizing pipeline that incorporates various biological data such as known disease genes, biological pathways, protein-protein interactions and protein structures to identify predisposing mutations from the wholegenome and whole-exome sequences of Crohn disease and multiple myeloma patients. This analysis pipeline led to the identification of a novel, high-risk variant in Crohn disease.

▼ Abstract: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetically heterogeneous group of diseases that result in defective development of tooth enamel. Enamel findings in AI are highly variable, ranging from deficient enamel formation to defects in the mineral and protein content. Enamel formation requires the expression of multiple genes needed to control the complex process of crystal growth and mineralization. Different inheritance patterns such as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X-linked types have been reported. Mutations in genes coding for enamel structural proteins and proteases have been associated with AI. The object of this study was to evaluate evidence for linkage of the six major candidate gene loci in two Brazilian families with AI. DNA was obtained from normal and affected family members and exons of AMELX, AMBN, ENAM, MMP-20, KLK-4 and Amelotin were amplified and sequenced. Each family was evaluated for linkage to chromosome regions known to contain genes important in enamel development. The present study indicates that the autosomal recessive and X-linked hypomineralized form of AI in these two families is not caused by any of the known loci for AI or any of the candidate genes proposed in the literature

▼ In a predictable natural selection process, herbicides select for adaptive alleles that allow weed populations to survive. These resistance alleles may be available immediately from the standing genetic variation within the population, as well as, may immigrate via pollen or seeds from other populations. Moreover, because all natural populations are constantly
subject to new mutant genotypes by de novo mutations, resistant mutants may arise spontaneously in any herbicide-sensitive weed population. Recognizing that the relative contribution of each of these three sources deeply affect what strategies should be applied to counteract herbicide resistance evolution, we aimed to provide experimental information to the resistance evolutionary framework. In this sense, the objective of this experiment was to calculate the de novo
mutation rate conferring herbicide resistance in a natural plant population, and, specifically, test the hypothesis that the
mutation rate increases when plants are stressed by sub-lethal exposure to herbicides. For this purpose, we used a method to discover spontaneous herbicide-resistant mutants by screening millions of plants using grain amaranth and resistance to ALS herbicides as a model system. After screening 70,000,000 plants, no spontaneous resistant genotypes were detected, determining the probability to find a spontaneous ALS-resistant mutant in a given sensitive plant population as lower than 2 x 10-8. This is lower than expected from theoretical calculations based on previous studies, setting a higher limit for the probability of herbicide-resistant mutants to arise spontaneously in natural plant populations. In addition, we found no evidence that herbicide stress increased the
mutation rate. The results found in this study imply that de novo mutations conferring herbicide resistance do not appear to occur at high frequency in plant populations.

▼ The evolution of herbicide-resistant weed species in cotton production has created a need for new herbicide technology tools. Herbicide technologies not classified as genetically modified by recombinant DNA can provide tools with less associated registration and development costs and regulatory and market barriers. Research herein aims to advance herbicide crop tolerance through improvement and genetic analysis of
mutation derived herbicide tolerance in cotton. Germplasm exhibiting elevated tolerance to the imidazolinone class of herbicides has been previously identified after mutagenesis with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). However, the physiological basis, genetic behavior, and potential for herbicide tolerance improvement are not fully understood and studies were designed to elucidate these factors.
Three lines (EM4-3-1-1, EM4-3-1-2, and SCM3-4-3-1) show high levels of imazamox tolerance. Data indicate that yield for all EMS treated lines was equal to or greater than their respective non-EMS treated cultivar. EMS treatment had no adverse effects on other cotton fiber properties. In 2012, levels of imazamox herbicide injury were seen at 14 days after application (DAA) ranging from 25-34 per cent. A greater level of injury was observed in 2013 ranging from 30-37% 7 DAA, and from 60-68% 14 DAA. Injury was transient throughout both growing seasons. Acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene sequencing characterized a
mutation at Ala122 that is classified as conferring tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides, but was inconsistent in lines evaluated. Sequencing also revealed lines that have a truncated form of the protein in this region that may inhibit imidazolinone binding to the ALS protein. Chi-square analysis indicated this trait behaves in a simple, dominant fashion. Data from parent-offspring regression analysis indicated moderate correlation between parents and F2 progeny (53%). Correlation is relatively high between F2 and F3 progeny (84%) and demonstrates a strong relationship between these generations. Gain from selection indicates a 13.6% improvement in herbicide tolerance, lending to low progress from selection. These studies have shown that non-transgenic breeding methods can confer and improve imidazolinone herbicide tolerance in cotton, though levels of imidazolinone herbicide injury remained commercially unacceptable.

▼ Recent technological advances have made high-throughput DNA sequencing a routine laboratory experiment. This progression in technology has been made possible by the parallel production of millions of short fragments of sequence. The responsibility of garnering biological information from these DNA fragments has shifted from the wet-lab to the bioinformatician. As sequencing technology is applied to a growing number of individual human genomes, entire families are now being sequenced. Information contained within the pedigree of a sequenced family can be leveraged when inferring the donors’ genotypes, a task that is not necessarily trivial using high-throughput sequencing reads. A violation of Mendelian inheritance laws observed amid the resequenced genomes of family members can indicate the presence of a de novo
mutation. A method for locating de novo mutations by probabilistically inferring genotypes across a pedigree using high-throughput sequencing is presented and applied to two resequenced nuclear families: one as a collaborative effort within The 1,000 Genomes Project, and the second in an attempt to discover candidate driver and passenger mutations within the genome of an Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. The
mutation findings within these projects are presented, and the approach is examined in detail, highlighting areas where method improvements may be made. Considering the challenges experienced in these studies within the larger context of the nascent field of Personal Genomics, an honest assessment is presented of developments that must be made before the application of whole-genome sequencing on the scale of an individual human can unequivocally be used to predict, diagnose, or treat human disease.

▼ Maintaining genome integrity is essential for an organism, as
mutation
accumulation can lead to cancer, reduced fitness, and heritable diseases in offspring.
Therefore the study of mutations, how they are induced, and how they are prevented is
vital. Biomonitor systems are useful for understanding the relevant biological effects
of a given mutagen, and depending on the system, can even provide information on
specific molecular changes induced by the mutagen. Plants are ideal biomonitors, as a
sedentary lifestyle allows measurement of mutagens in air, soil, and water, even at low
doses. We constructed
mutation reporters in Arabidopsis designed to restore β-
glucuronidase (GUS) activity through one of six base substitution reversions. All six
mutant constructs contained inactivating base substitutions in the same codon, which
minimized sequence context effects. An AcV5 epitope tag sequence was fused to the
3' end of GUS to allow detection of the inactive protein and selection of sublines
based on levels of GUS protein expression. Initial characterization of these reversion
reporters with or without UV-C treatment and exposure to heavy metal ions (Cd²⁺ and
Zn²⁺) supports the ability of the lines to measure different mutations. UV-C radiation
induced T to C and C to T reversions, as well as T to G and T to A to a lesser extent.
Heavy-metal-ion-
mutation induction was inconsistent, showing variable increases in G to T and G to C, and no induction of T to C reversion. Of key interest is the G to T
reporter line, as this is the first such reporter in higher eukaryotes. This line showed a
large increase in spontaneous
mutation as well as potential germinal mutations when
compared to the other reporter lines, most likely due to endogenous oxidative damage
(i.e. 8-oxoguanine). Further experiments to test the reporter lines with various
mutagens as well as ways to improve the ability of the reporters to detect
mutation are discussed.

▼ An important impact of the genome technology revolution will be the elucidation of mechanisms of cancer pathogenesis, leading to improvements in the diagnosis of cancer and the selection of cancer treatment. Integrated with current well-studied massive knowledge and findings about the role of protein-coding mutations in cancer, demystifying the functional role of human "junk" DNA (non-protein-coding DNA) mutations for cancer development and progression is one of the most popular and promising approaches these days to improve our understanding of the complicated cellular mechanisms in cancer. In light of one recent finding that non-protein-coding driver mutations tend to be highly recurrent, in this thesis we explore three different kinds of regression models for predicting non-protein-coding
mutation recurrence: generalized linear models, conventional machine learning approaches and deep neural network learning models. We compare the regression model results and find the most accurate model for non-protein-coding
mutation recurrence prediction so that we can prioritize somatic mutations based on their predicted recurrence and provide insights for further biological validation and eventually improved cancer therapy.

▼ Les isoformes de Tau font parties d’une famille de protéines associées aux microtubules, principalement exprimées dans les neurones du système nerveux central. Ils favorisent l'assemblage de monomères tubuline en microtubules et leurs stabilités, jouant un rôle structurel clé dans les axones neuronaux. Dans la maladie d’Alzheimer et autres tauopathies, la protéine Tau agrège sous forme d’enchevêtrements fibrillaires impliqués dans les lésions intraneuronales et gliales. A l’heure actuelle, le processus d’agrégation présent au sein des tauopathies n’est pas complètement élucidé malgré un grand nombre d’études effectués in vitro. L’essentiel du travail présenté dans ma thèse est basé sur un modèle d’étude in vitro utilisant une protéine Tau recombinante présentant la mutation P301L. Ce mutant ainsi que d’autres fragments de Tau ont été utilisés pour mieux comprendre le mécanisme d’agrégation, comme par exemple le rôle des cystéines, ou de la région riche en proline. Nous avons montré par des mesures de diffusion de la lumière et fluorescence de la Thioflavine S qu’il existe un système d’agrégation indépendant des ponts disulfures intermoléculaires. Nous avons également étudié la capacité anti agrégative de plusieurs polyphénols naturels et endogènes. Notre attention s’est en particulier portée sur trois dérivés phénoliques obtenus à partir d'huile d'olive : l'hydroxytyrosol, l'oleuropéine, l'oleuropéine aglycone. Ce dernier a été trouvé plus actif que l’inhibiteur de référence de Tau, le bleu de méthylène. Des résultats similaires ont été obtenu avec des molécules issues de la dimérisation du DOPAL. L’activité inhibitrice de la fibrillisation de ces molécules peut même atteindre des valeurs submicromolaires.
Tau isoforms are part of the microtubule-associated proteins family, mainly expressed in neurons of the central nervous system. They promote the assembly of tubulin monomers into microtubules and their stabilities, playing a key structural role in neuronal axons. In Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies, the tau protein aggregates as fibrillar tangles involved in intraneuronal and glial lesions. At present, the process of aggregation present in the tauopathies is not fully understood despite a large number of studies performed in vitro. Most of the work presented in my thesis is based on an in vitro model study using recombinant tau protein with the P301L mutation. This mutant and other fragments of Tau were used to better understand the mechanism of aggregation, such as the role of the cysteines or the proline-rich region. We have shown by measurements of light scattering and fluorescence of Thioflavin S there is a system of aggregation independent of intermolecular disulfide bonds. We also studied the ability of several anti-aggregative natural polyphenols and endogenous. Our attention was particularly focused on three phenolic derivatives obtained from olive oil: hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, oleuropein aglycone. The latter was found more active than the reference inhibitor of Tau, methylene blue. Similar…

▼ The influenza A virus is a common cause of respiratory illness in humans. Seasonal
epidemics of influenza in the United States can result in up to 40 million cases, with
annual hospitalizations and deaths reaching as high as 400,000 and 70,000, respectively.
The influenza A virus continually causes annual epidemics, despite yearly vaccines, as a
result of its high
mutation rate, leading to genetically diverse viral populations within
hosts. Respiratory droplet-mediated transmission of the virus between individuals is
accompanied by a bottleneck event that decreases the diversity of the viral population
passed to new hosts. Using controlled artificial bottlenecks of different sizes during in
vitro serial passaging, the impact of these bottleneck events on patterns of
mutation
fixation and replicative capacity of the influenza A virus was determined. Growth curves
and genome sequencing were used after passaging to characterize differences in
replicative capacity and identify genomic changes within the population. Serial passaging
at a bottleneck size of one virus generated virus populations with lower replicative
capacity as compared to the original parental virus. This effect was associated with
fixation of numerous mutations spread throughout the genome. An increase in replicative
capacity was evident after repeated bottlenecks of 1000 viruses, demonstrating that
sufficiently loose bottlenecks do not compromise viral replication kinetics and even allow
for improvement. This increase in replicative capacity was associated with several
mutations, clustered primarily in the hemagglutinin genome segment.

▼ A life-history involves the scheduling of events in an individual’s life, such as growth, reproduction, and survivorship. This thesis seeks to focus on the possibility than an individual could also schedule its rate of
mutation, such that different
mutation rates may occur as an organism ages. These different
mutation rates may be adaptive and evolve by natural selection. In a simulated population with iteroparity, genotypes that encoded age-structured
mutation outcompeted genotypes that did not encode age-structured
mutation provided that the rate of environmental change was sufficiently high. My finding that age-structured
mutation rates can be adaptive may lead to a new understanding of the adaptive role of aging.

▼ Previous studies showed that, although non-symbiotic mesorhizobia carry a copy of the dctABD genes responsible for C4-dicarboxylate transport, most strains isolated from soil were unable to utilise succinate as a carbon source, indicating that the genes were cryptic. Following prolonged incubation on solid media containing succinate as a sole carbon source, two strains (CJ1 and N18) gave rise to succinate-utilising colonies at a frequency much greater than expected by random
mutation alone. Sequence analysis revealed that point mutations had occurred within the dctB or dctD genes in these strains. A cosmid clone pJW5 that conferred the mutator phenotype on other Dct- non-symbiotic strains was isolated from a CJ1 genomic DNA library. Two gene clusters similar to the toxin-antitoxin module hipAB, designated hipB1A1 and hipA2B2, found on pJW5 were implicated in the mutator phenotype. pJW5 was mutagenised with transposon Tn5 and two insertions both within hipB2 were the only insertions found that abolished the mutator phenotype. Furthermore, it was reported that subclones of pJW5 containing either or both hipAB loci conferred the mutator phenotype. These findings led to the hypothesis that the hipAB loci enable the cells to mutate to succinate utilisation by allowing them to undergo adaptive
mutation through a dormant state known as persistence (Weaver, 2003 and personal communication).
In this study subcloning was employed in an effort to confirm that hipAB act as a toxin-antitoxin module and further define the contribution of the hipAB loci to the mutator phenotype. Attempts to express hipA1 or hipA2 from an inducible promoter failed to show that HipA acted as a toxin. Further subcloning studies suggested that neither individual hip genes, hipB1A1, hipA2B2, or both hipAB clusters alone could promote
mutation to succinate metabolism, indicating that other gene(s) in addition to hipB2 present on pJW5 are required. Subsequent restriction digests of pJW5 demarcated a region to the left end of pJW5 as most likely being involved in the mutator phenotype.
The underlying mechanism of
mutation to succinate utilisation, although still ambiguous, seems to harbour some functions of stress-induced mutagenesis (adaptive
mutation) and cryptic activation of silent genes. Involvement of other genes in the phenotype was postulated and the Bacterial Transcription Repair Coupling Factor (TRCF or Mfd) gene was identified as a possible candidate. Mfd facilitates recruitment of repair proteins to DNA lesions present on the coding DNA strand of actively transcribed genes. An R7ANS mfd mutant was constructed and analysis of the mutant suggested that the mfd gene plays a role in the mutator phenotype as the onset of mutant colonies was delayed in the mutant and their numbers were reduced.

▼ Long-lived individuals of the opportunistic fungal pathogen Armillaria gallica arise in
single mating events, and then grow vegetatively to occupy large territories including multiple
woody substrates. In effect, this leaves a spatial record of mutation, the detection of which
would allow new inferences about how fungal individuals grow and infect their hosts. In this
thesis, I first identified a large individual of A. gallica in eastern Ontario. I then searched for
genetic variation within this individual by focusing on the tandemly repeated rRNA gene cluster
and four microsatellite markers that are variable in the A. gallica population. I discovered a loss
of heterozygosity (LOH) in the rRNA gene-cluster region, forming two genotypes that show
significant spatial clustering in a Mantel test. My M.Sc. thesis research serves as a baseline for a
genome-wide study of the mutational dynamic within the vegetative growth phase of this large
and old Armillaria individual.

▼ As the ultimate source of all genetic variation,
mutation is required for evolution. The
mutation rate measures the rate at which mutations occur over time. How the
mutation rate evolves and how it interacts with other evolutionary processes are still far from clearly understood. In this thesis, I employ individual-based simulations and aim to understand how the evolution of
mutation rate interacts with other evolutionary forces such as
mutation biases, selection for evolvability, genetic drift and the evolution of recombination rate.
In Chapter 3, I studied the role of
mutation bias (bias towards high
mutation rate) in the evolution of
mutation rate, which has been long ignored in the literature. I found that the effect of
mutation bias on the evolution of
mutation rate is significant when compared to that of other broadly promoted evolutionary forces such as natural selection, mutator hitchhiking, and genetic drift. Even in sexual populations, I found that
mutation bias can still operate and drive the evolution of
mutation rate. In Chapter 4, when the
mutation rate (U) and recombination rate (R) are not allowed to evolve, I found that there exists an optimal
mutation rate (Uopt), at which a population can achieve their maximal evolvability (E). Popula- tions displayed negative evolvability if U was above a critical value (Ucrit). Asexual and sexual populations showed similar relationships between E and U. Moreover, increasing R also increased E, Uopt, and Ucrit. In Chapter 5, I found that selection for evolvability cannot optimize U when it is allowed to evolve because U increased without bound — a phenomenon known as
mutation rate catastrophe. In addition, the effect of
mutation bias is much stronger than the selection for evolvability in sexual populations, indicating the selection for evolvability is not the only force that can affect the evolution of U and is a weak selection. However, U cannot be opti- mized when both forces are operating. Lastly, I found that selection can optimize the recombination rate for high evolvability. High R can prevent populations from experiencing the
mutation rate catastrophe, although populations do not always evolve high R.

▼ The file named "LankesRichard.pdf" is the primary dissertation file. The file named "Lankes_Zipped_Media_Files.zip" is a zipped file folder with 42 files (in 5 folders), which contains all the other files listed here.
The purpose of this project was to design and produce a lightweight scientific suitcase teaching tool that ninth grade high school science educators may implement into their curriculum when teaching students the concepts about genetic mutations. Contained within the suitcase are an animation, card game, hands-on models, and display posters, along with a teacher’s instruction manual. This scientific suitcase was created in an attempt to fill in the apparent lack of information over genetic mutations that is present in current Texas high school textbooks and resources. It may assist students in better preparing for standardized testing by giving their educators an all-in-one module that can give the classroom extensive information on genetic mutations, all in one easy to carry suitcase. The suitcase components have been evaluated for their effectiveness and appeal by current educators, from 8th grade to college level, who specialize in multiple fields of science. The scientific suitcase’s impact on students’ performance and comprehension will be tested by STARS and DISD once it has been fully integrated into the science classroom curriculum

▼ The SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex is frequently inactivated by somaticmutations of its various components in various types of cancers, and also by aberrant DNA methylation. However, its somatic mutations and aberrant methylation in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) have not been fully analyzed. In this study, we aimed to clarify in ESCC, what components of the SWI/SNF complex have somatic mutations and aberrant methylation, and when somatic mutations of the SWI/SNF complex occur. Deep sequencing of components of the SWI/SNF complex using a bench-top next Generation sequencer revealed that eight of 92 ESCCs (8.7%) had 11 somatic mutations of 7 genes, ARID1A, ARID2, ATRX, PBRM1, SMARCA4, SMARCAL1, and SMARCC1. TheSMARCA4 mutations were located in the Forkhead (85Ser>Leu) and SNF2 familyN-terminal (882Glu>Lys) domains. The PBRM1 mutations were located in a bromodomain(80Asn>Ser) and an HMG-box domain (1,377Glu>Lys). For most mutations, their Mutant allele frequency was 31-77% (mean 61%) of the fraction of cancer cells in the same samples, indicating that most of the cancer cells in individual ESCC samples had the SWI/SNF mutations on one allele, when present. In addition, a BeadChip array Analysis revealed that a component of the SWI/SNF complex, ACTL6B, had aberrant methylation at its promoter CpG island in 18 of 52 ESCCs (34.6%). These results showed that genetic and epigenetic alterations of the SWI/SNF complex are present in ESCCs, and suggested that genetic alterations are induced at an early stage of esophageal squamous cell carcinogenesis.

▼ The juvenile alopecia (jal) mutation in mice arose on the standard C3H/HeJ inbred background. This mutation controls a poorly-understood recessive disorder in which affected subjects display patchy hair loss at an early age, often retaining only small patches of fur. The site disrupted by this mutation is unknown, although a previous research publication (McElwee et al. 1999) attributed the mutation to mouse Chromosome (Chr) 13 without providing any supporting data. Here I aimed to verify and refine this chromosomal assignment for jal, using a standard intraspecific backcross mapping approach. To genetically map jal, I created an F1 generation by crossing C57BL/6J female mice with C3H/HeJ males that are homozygous for jal. The heterozygous females were backcrossed to C3H-jal/jal males to make an N2 generation that included 103 members. These mice were classified for their fur phenotype and typed for previously-mapped, PCR-scorable DNA markers. Independent assortment of jal and a particular DNA marker indicated that jal is not located near that site. Since my early analysis using markers from Chr 13 showed that jal is not located on Chr 13, I also assessed numerous markers from throughout the mouse genome for possible linkage with jal. While most sites tested assorted independently with jal, I finally detected linkage at the centromeric tip of mouse Chr 2. Because this region of the C57BL/6J strain offers very few usable markers to support further map refinement, I recommend that a new backcross be conducted using a partner strain that carries numerous molecular differences compared with the C3H/HeJ strain in this region.

▼ Biological and environmental factors contribute collectively to the development of human cancers. The primary focus of this research project was to investigate the impact of germline gene mutations, as a significant biological factor, on 29 major primary human cancers. For this I obtained data from multiple databases, including the Genetic Association Database (GAD), Sanger database (COSMIC), HGMD database, OMIM data and PubMed literature. Using the Extraction Transform and Load (ETL) process, 424 genes were obtained with 8,879 cancer mutation records. By integrating these gene mutation records a Human Cancer Map (HCM) was constructed, from which several sub-maps were derived based on particular mutation classes. Furthermore, a Protein-Protein Interaction Map (PPIM) was constructed based on the encoded proteins of the 424 gene set. Several key questions were addressed using the HCM and its sub-maps including the following: (i) Are individual groups of primary cancers associated with specific subset of genes (within the 424 full set)? (ii) Are groups of primary cancers associated with particular mutation classes? (iii) If both questions prove to be true, are groups of cancers associated with particular mutation class of target genes? This project also explored whether a corresponding Protein-Protein Interaction Map, derived from the Missense/Non-sense Mutation portion of the HCM gene set, would provide further information on gene associations between primary cancers in terms of the consequent identical amino acid changes involved. Results showed that: (1) closely-connected human cancers in the HCM exhibited a strong association with a particular mutation class; (2) Missense /Nonsense and Regulatory mutations played a central role in connecting cancers (i.e. via primary nodes) and so significantly influenced the construction of the HCM; (3) Genes with Missense/Nonsense and Regulatory mutations tended to be involved in cancer-associated pathways; (4) Using the kappa test to measure the extent of agreement between two connected primary cancers in the sub-HCMs, BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, CDKN2A, and TP53 showed highest agreement for 5 of 10 mutation classes; (5) From the PIPM, it was evident that BRCA1, MSH6, BARD1, TP53, MSH2 and CHEK2 proteins best connected Breast, Ovarian, Prostate and Bowel primary cancers, and so the latter could represent 'driver proteins' for these cancers. In summary, this project has approached the analysis of gene involvement in human primary cancers from the starting position of the mutation class that harbours the specific gene mutation. Together with their downstream resultant alterations in the associated proteins, this analysis can provide insights into the relatedness of primary human cancers and their potential gene hierarchies. These data may therefore help us to understand more fully the etiology, diagnosis and potentially personalized treatments for cancer.

▼ Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka i vilken grad olika fysiska avvikelser kring en humanoids ögon/syn kan framkalla stötande känslor, de fysiska avvikelser som undersöks är: sjukdom, stympning och mutation. Studien byggde bland annat kring teorier kopplade till attraktivitet och hälsa och undersökte hur man kan använda ohälsa för att väcka stötande känslor. Inför studien skapades totalt åtta porträtt, en för varje fysisk avvikelse samt kön. En enkät skickades sedan ut till män och kvinnor i åldrarna 18-29 där de fick ta ställning till porträtten genom att gradera dem utifrån en 7-siffrig skala. Resultatet i undersökningen visade att majoriteten av respondenterna upplevde den fysiska avvikelse mutation som mest stötande, detta på grund av dess omänskliga utseende. Det fanns dock en problematik kring användningen av 3D modeller i undersökningen, framtida arbete skulle gynnas av att använda ett annat medium, exempelvis fotografi.

▼ In yeast, Vps74p mediates the Golgi membrane retention of glycosyltransferases by incorporating these enzymes into coat protein complex I (COPI) coated vesicles. VPS74 is not an essential gene indicating that there must be a parallel pathway of VPS74 in the COPI mediated traffic from Golgi to ER or within Golgi apparatus. Dr. TU in our lab found a vps74 temperature sensitive mutant. In order to find which genes may function in the parallel pathway of Vps74p, I did a dosage suppressor screen of this vps74 temperature sensitive mutant and found many genes could suppress the temperature sensitive growth phenotype of this vps74 strain. These dosage suppressors didn’t affect the retrograde transport of Kre2p and Dcr2p from Golgi to ER. Only MAD1 among these suppressors could suppress the calcofluor white sensitivity of vps74 temperature sensitive mutant. In cells, there are two pools of Mad1p, one is associated with Mad2p, and another is free. From our experiments, free Mad1p may have a new role in protein traffic except for its function in spindle assembly checkpoint and may localize to Golgi through interaction with Coy1p. In the future, I will keep on investigating the reasons for the suppression of these dosage suppressors, and for Mad1p, I will make sure Mad1p really localize in Golgi and find its cargoes if function in protein traffic.

▼ Software is all around us in our lives in the industrialized world, and we as a society and individuals need it to function correctly. Software testing fills the role of performing behavior audits, to guide the correction of the software to its intended behavior. The consequences of faulty software can range to the late arrival of trains, to nuclear meltdowns. This places quality requirements on the software of various levels. Program based mutation testing provides a high level of faultfinding capability. It does this by injecting many synthetic faults into the code under test, as described by mutation operators. These faults are used to search for testcases that would identify such faults, and consequently find real faults that the synthetic faults mimic. However, mutation testing is costly on three accounts; each mutant of the original code is compiled, each mutant should ideally have an associated testcase to reveal that fault the mutant contains, finally the testcases are analyzed thoroughly by looking the output of the original and mutants to reveal the error in behavior. In order to reduce cost while maintaining a high level of faultfinding, selective mutation testing is investigated, it uses a subset of all the available mutation operators. The investigation found that using Absolute value-, and Relational operator-, mutation reduces cost of mutation testing by 80%, while uncovering 83% of the injected faults.

▼ Modern software is being built in a continuously integrated fashion, in order to overcome the challenges that come with developing large software systems from many contributors. The cornerstone of continuous integration is the testing step, since it is supposed to protect the system from changes that might disrupt correct behavior.
Mutation testing is a method that checks the fault finding capability of a test suite. Current CI settings do not implement a step that checks how thorough the test suite is. Therefore, the goal of this thesis has been to explore how
mutation testing can be applied to changes under analysis in a continuous integration setting. Since there is no infrastructure to support this, in order to conduct our study we developed OPi+, a prototype tool for experimenting the infrastructure required for a continuous
mutation testing approach. Using real-world systems for analysis, we give initial evidence of the continuous
mutation testing usefulness in terms of costs and benefits when applied to realistic software changes. The empirical study is based on analysis performed on the entire commit history of the popular open source Java Maven systems. Through our study we defined 5 types of outcomes together with a continuous
mutation testing behavior flow and additional analysis that streamlines current
mutation testing practices. We showed not only that
mutation testing in a CI environment requires significantly fewer resources but they are also within the limits required by a CI pipeline. Through our study we also identify unmutable code for which we propose appropriate unimplemented operator set. We also study the evolution of surviving mutants with regards to their impact on the systems` technical debt. In our study, we showed initial evidence that
mutation testing can successfully be made compatible with a CI environment. We therefore propose a few ideas that could possibly further streamline continuous
mutation testing.
