RNA polymerase II CTD Evolutionary Diversity and Associated Protein Identification in Green and Red Algae
(East Carolina University, 2014)
In model eukaryotes, the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit (RPB1) of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II is composed of tandemly repeated heptads with the consensus sequence YSPTSPS. Both the core motif and tandem ...
REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION AND MIMETIC DIVERGENCE IN THE POISON FROG RANITOMEYA IMITATOR
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Understanding the process of speciation requires examination of various stages of its progress. This work focuses on the early stages of population divergence, where populations of a single species may show varying levels ...
Comparison of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl₂ induced germ cell apoptosis in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2014)
There is inadequate research data available on manufactured ZnO nanoparticles. Manufactured nanoparticles are widely used in various products and production of manufactured nanoparticles is becoming increasingly abundant. ...
miRDiabetes : A microRNA-Diabetes Association Database Constructed With Data Mining on Literature
(East Carolina University, 2014)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a growing class of non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by translational repression. A role for miRNA in diabetes was first established in 2004 and research in miRNA-diabetes association has ...
Responses of Leaf Litter Breakdown Rates and Microbial Enzyme Activity to Salinity in North Carolina Wetlands
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Sea-level rise and human activities are causing the increase of salinity in coastal freshwater wetlands. Increased salinity in some wetlands has been found to accelerate leaf litter decomposition, an important driver of ...
