Characterizing the vegetative phenotype of fzt maize mutant
(East Carolina University, 2012)microRNAs are short, non-coding RNA strands that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally in all multicellular organisms. miRNAs begin as a hairpin in the nucleus. The primary miRNA (pri-miRNA) and preliminary ... -
Development of Computational Tools and Resources for Cotton microRNA Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2014)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small regulatory RNAs which regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional levels. miRNAs target genes for mRNA cleavage or translation inhibition based on the complementary ... -
A Functional Analysis of microRNAs in Nicotiana tabacum
(East Carolina University, 2012)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly discovered class of endogenous post-transcriptional gene regulators that are typically 20-22 nucleotides in length that do not code for proteins. MiRNAs regulate gene expression by either ... -
Gene Expression Divergence Between Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia Guttata) Subspecies And Gene Regulation In Hybrids
(East Carolina University, 2015)Since the publication of Mayr's Systematics and the Origin of Species, birds have been important model organisms for studies regarding evolutionary processes such as sexual selection and speciation. In this study, I will ... -
Investigating the Interaction of RecQL4 and Mcm10 in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2014)Accurate duplication and regulation of the eukaryotic genome requires precise coordination among multiple replication factors. RecQL4, the least characterized RecQ protein, is a 1208 amino acid protein containing a centrally ... -
Potassium deficiency had a significant effect on the growth, development and microRNA-mediated mechanism in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-19)Potassium is a crucial nutrient in the growth and development of plants and lack of available potassium was found to have significant affects in altering the morphology and gene expression of wheat. Wheat plants were grown ... -
SPATIAL EXPRESSION OF MATRIX AND MATRIX RECEPTOR PROTEINS IN THE DEVELOPING SYNOVIAL JOINT
(East Carolina University, 2013)Little is understood about the complex spatial and temporal molecular interactions necessary to form a fully functional synovial joint. Understanding molecular pathways and signaling within the developing joint continues ... -
VALIDATION OF CANDIDATE GENES IN RESPONSE TO VERSICAN MANIPULATION IN DEVELOPING SYNOVIAL JOINTS
(East Carolina University, 2012)Little is understood about the complex process of synovial joint formation in early limb development. It has been shown that versican is highly expressed in the extracellular matrix of these joints (Snow et al., 2005; ...
