The effects of sodium butyrate on Hox gene expression in a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, HT29.
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Hox genes are a subgroup of the large family of homeobox containing genes, known to pattern anterior/posterior and proximal/distal axes during embryonic development. More recently Hox gene research has focused on the role ...
The AraC-Like Transcriptional Regulator DhbR Is Required for Maximum Expression of the 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Biosynthesis Genes in Brucella abortus 2308 in Response to Iron Deprivation
(East Carolina University, 2008-03)
Phenotypic evaluation of isogenic mutants derived from Brucella abortus 2308 indicates that the AlcR homolog DhbR (2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid [2,3-DHBA] biosynthesis regulator) modulates the expression of the genes involved ...
Comparison of the exoS Gene and Protein Expression in Soil and Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2001-04)
Exoenzyme S (ExoS) is translocated into eukaryotic cells by the type III secretory process and has been hypothesized to function in conjunction with other virulence factors in the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ...
Hox Gene Expression During Oreochromis niloticus Pharyngeal Arch Development : Discovering the Hox Code
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Hox genes encode transcription factors and have been extensively studied by evolutionary and developmental biologists. Hox genes are responsible for determining specific regional identities along the anterior-posterior and ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
