The Anchor, Volume 131.18: February 28, 2018
Get PDFThe Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor\u27s history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular

The Correlation between Balance and Performance in Collegiate Swimmers
Get PDFBalance has been shown to enhance athletic performance in certain sports. However, research regarding balance and swim performance is limited, and the relationship is therefore unclear. This study was designed to determine whether a relationship exists between balance ability and swim performance of male and female Hope College swimmers (n=23). It was hypothesized that greater balance ability in swimmers would be positively correlated with faster swim times, which could be a benefit to swim-training programs in the future. A balance plate and Y-Balance test (Upper and Lower Quarter) were utilized to assess swimmer balance. The following static force plate stances were used: feet parallel with eyes open (FPEO), feet parallel with eyes closed (FPEC), left foot forward tandem with eyes open (LTEO), and left foot tandem with eyes closed (LTEC). The race times used for correlational analysis included: the 50m Freestyle, 100m Freestyle, 500m Freestyle, and 100m Backstroke. Significant correlations were found between FPEO velocity and the 50m Freestyle (

Investigating Unknown Regions of E. coli Metabolism
No full textMetabolic models are useful for a number of applications in the world of biology. If one understands the biochemistry involved in every part of an organism, it could be possible to predict how the organism would behave at the molecular level in particular environments. Once one model is understood sufficiently, the concepts could be applied to other organisms and groups of organisms. This has possible applications in medicine and environmental science concerning microbiomes. The base model could also be used as a foundation for further experimentation and metabolic modeling projects on more complex or less understood organisms. Our work focuses on the state-of-the-art metabolic model for E. coli, since this is a well studied model organism. However, the model currently only accounts for conservation of mass and the presence of pathways connecting metabolites. In order to be more useful, the model would have to incorporate a number of biological patterns. One such pattern is transcriptomics: the analysis of gene expression over the entire genome when the organism is in different environments. Transcriptomics is of particular interest as it involves, to some degree, all parts of the metabolic network. However, the usefulness of these data depend upon the diversity of the experiment pool. The current transcriptomic data set for E. coli contains about 1200 experiments, representing fewer than 100 unique conditions. We have conducted initial algorithmic development and analysis to identify parts of the metabolic network not yet perturbed in transcriptomic data. The goal of this project is to design a set of unique conditions and gather expression data. These data will be used to improve upon the initial algorithms and to eventually supplement the transcriptome data set with enough information to improve the current computer model of E. coli K12
Genomic Analyses of the Novel Mycobacteriophage Settecandela
No full textEighteen new mycobacteriophages were isolated from soil samples collected around the state of Michigan and parts of the United States. All phages were capable of infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis and were isolated through either enrichment or direct plating at 32°C or 37°C. A variety of plaque morphologies were produced based on size, shape, and clarity; both lytic and temperate phages appear represented in this collection. The mycobacteriophage, Settecandela, was chosen as one of three phages for complete genome sequencing and comparative genomic analyses. The predominant plaque produced by Settecandela at 37°C was 1 mm in diameter, and took 48 hours to appear. The complete genome sequence for Settecandela revealed a relationship to the singleton, Phrappuccino, discovered by the Hope College phage class in 2016. The genome of Settecandela is 145.2 Kb, 67.4% GC, and contains 224 genes. The close relationship with Phrappuccino necessitates the formation of a new cluster of mycobacteriophages, Cluster AA. The two genomes are identical over much of their length, with the exception of an approximately 9000 bp region in Settecandela containing 25 genes. There is strong evidence at the morphological (Myoviridae) and genomic levels for a relationship to Cluster C phages. Despite this relationship, Cluster AA genomes do not carry any tRNA genes. A detailed analysis of the complete genome sequences and comparison with sequenced mycobacteriophages is the subject of the second semester of this yearlong course and is presented
