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 ...
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 ...
