Ancient gene transfer from algae to animals: Mechanisms and evolutionary significance
(2012)Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is traditionally considered to be rare in multicellular eukaryotes such as animals. Recently, many genes of miscellaneous algal origins were discovered in choanoflagellates. ... -
Ancient Genome Duplications Did Not Structure the Human Hox-Bearing Chromosomes
(East Carolina University, 2001-05)The fact that there are four homeobox (Hox) clusters in most vertebrates but only one in invertebrates is often cited as evidence for the hypothesis that two rounds of genome duplication by polyploidization occurred early ... -

Androgen and progesterone receptor knockouts in Danio rerio affect aggression and social dominance (part 1)
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-07)It is well known that competition for the basic resources of food, shelter, and mates will always exist in nature. The most prevalent method of competing for such resources is aggression and social dominance. There is ... -
ANDROGEN AND PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS KNOCKOUTS IN ZEBRAFISH AFFECT AGGRESSION AND SOCIAL DOMINANCE
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)ABSTRACT - There is circumstantial evidence that steroids, such as androgens and progesterone, play roles in aggression and social behaviors in vertebrates. However, the genetic basis for these behaviors needs to be further ... -
The Angel in the Garden : Recovering Elizabeth von Arnim's The Pastor's Wife
