Summer 2022: Treasure/A Signature Experience
Get PDFEvery issue, we invite one member of the college community to share their delight in an object found on campus. Here, Chris Betcher (Alumni and Community Engagement) comments on an office memento she found in 2005 among other supplies and stationery on her assigned desk in the alumni house. The stamp bearing the signature of the Rev. Dennis Burke, Class of 1926 — a St. Norbert alum, faculty member, president and chancellor — brought her thoughts to the gravity of her work and the lasting impact it can have.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2019-2023/1348/thumbnail.jp

Functional Analysis of Protonephridia Genes Identified by Drop-Seq
Get PDFSchmidtea mediterranea, the freshwater planarian, possesses protonephridia, which are an organized network of branched tubules that function in waste filtration and water regulation. On a cellular and molecular level, these structures show considerable homology to the human kidney making planarians a useful model system for exploring human excretory biology and disease (Scimone, 2011 and Vu, 2015). Additionally, the planarian genome contains many flatworm-specific protonephridia genes essential for survival, making them potential drug targets for parasitic worm infections of humans. We set out to validate the expression of protonephridia genes identified by Drop-seq, a single-cell RNA sequencing technique that identified the transcriptomes for every cell type in S. mediterranea (Fincher et al., 2018). To accomplish this, we mapped gene expression using colorimetric and fluorescence in situ hybridization and characterized gene functionality via RNA interference screening (RNAi).https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1059/thumbnail.jp
A Taxonomic Revision and Characterization of Sciuravus nitidus and S. undans (Rodentia; Sciuravidae), early to middle Eocene Rodents from the Bridger Formation, Green River Basin, Wyoming
Get PDFNew specimens from the Bridger Formation allow for a critical review of the alpha taxonomy and evolution of the two most abundant species of sciuravid rodents from the Early Eocene of the Green River Basin, Sciuravus nitidus and S. undans. Previously, the two species were considered to be synonymous, based on studies of the upper and/or lower dentitions. Specimens with nearly complete lower dentitions are studied for the first time and they reveal clear distinctions between the two species in the molar crown patterns, incisor shape, and mandible morphology. The key specimen, UM 101638, closely matched the type specimen of S. undans, YPM 13349, in molar dimensions and morphology for m1-2.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1089/thumbnail.jp
