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 ...
Genetic regulation of maize floral development - insights from the transcriptome and translatome
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)
Flowers are produced by floral meristems, groups of stem cells that give rise to floral organs. In grasses, including the major cereal crops, flowers (florets) are contained in spikelets, which contain one to many florets, ...
Deep Sequencing Reveals Transcriptome Re-Programming of Cells to the Elicitation with Methyl Jasmonate
(2013)
Background
Plant cell culture represents an alternative source for producing high-value secondary metabolites including paclitaxel (Taxol®), which is mainly produced in Taxus and has been widely used in cancer chemotherapy. ...
Connecting Mutations of the RNA Polymerase II C-Terminal Domain to Complex Phenotypic Changes Using Combined Gene Expression and Network Analyses
(2010)
The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit in DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) is essential for mRNA synthesis and processing, through coordination of an astounding array of protein-protein interactions. ...
Identification, characterization, and gene expression analysis of nucleotide binding site (NB)-type resistance gene homologues in switchgrass
(2016-11-08)
Abstract
Background
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season perennial grass that can be used as a second generation bioenergy crop. However, foliar fungal ...
Genome-Wide Functional Analysis of the Cotton Transcriptome by Creating an Integrated EST Database
(2011)
A total of 28,432 unique contigs (25,371 in consensus contigs and 3,061 as singletons) were assembled from all 268,786 cotton ESTs currently available. Several in silico approaches [comparative genomics, Blast, Gene Ontology ...
Gene Expression and the Evolution of Reduced Sexual Dimorphism in a Threespine Stickleback Color Trait
(East Carolina University, 2017-01-03)
Elucidating the processes and mechanisms responsible for sexual dimorphism has been a central task for evolutionary biologists since Darwin first proposed the concept of sexual selection. However, our understanding of the ...
Selection of Reliable Reference Genes in for Analysis of Nanotoxicity
(2012)
Despite rapid development and application of a wide range of manufactured metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), the understanding of potential risks of using NPs is less completed, especially at the molecular level. The nematode ...
Investigating candidate genes for an association with skin color pattern in the mimic poison frog Ranitomeya imitator
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Understanding the genetic basis of adaptive traits can help us better understand their evolution. The mimic poison frog, Ranitomeya imitator, is native to Peru. Like many other species of poison frogs, it has aposematic ...
