• A nutrient dependant switch explains mutually exclusive existence of meiosis and mitosis initiation in budding yeast 

  Wannige, Champi; Kulasiri, Gamalathge D.; Samarasinghe, Sandhya (Elsevier Science, 2014-01-21)

  Nutrients from living environment are vital for the survival and growth of any organism. Budding yeast diploid cells decide to grow by mitosis type cell division or decide to create unique, stress resistant spores by meiosis ...
• Remodelling circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster: to investigate the role of a new clock component clockwork orange (CWO) 

  Ranganathan, Jeevabharathi (Lincoln University, 2015)

  The ability of almost all organisms to change their behaviour on a daily basis is one of the remarkable features of life on earth. This phenomenon which is called circadian rhythm is observed in diverse organisms such as ...
• Model-driven elucidation of the inherent capacity of Geobacter sulfurreducens for electricity generation 

  Mao, Longfei; Verwoerd, Wynand S. (BioMed Central, 2013)

  Background: G. sulfurreducens is one of the commonest microbes used in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for organic-to-electricity biotransformation. In MFCs based on this microorganism, electrons can be conveyed to the anode ...
• Mathematical modelling of the core regulatory feedback mechanisms of p53 protein that decide cell fate 

  Chong, Ket Hing (Lincoln University, 2014)

  Cells defence against stresses that can cause DNA damage (single-strand breaks, double-strand breaks) is crucial in safeguarding the integrity of the genome and the survival of the organism as a whole. One of the genes ...
• Minimal cut sets and the use of failure modes in metabolic networks 

  Clark, Sangaalofa; Verwoerd, Wynand S. (MDPI, 2012)

  A minimal cut set is a minimal set of reactions whose inactivation would guarantee a failure in a certain network function or functions. Minimal cut sets (MCSs) were initially developed from the metabolic pathway analysis ...
