Characterization of Two Novel Mutants of DNA Polymerase Delta in Drosophila melanogaster
Hunter, Chad Michael (East Carolina University, 2011)DNA is the genetic material for all living organisms which is constantly being unpackaged, replicated and repackaged. The replication of this genetic material involves numerous different proteins; however, DNA polymerase ... -
Characterizing Angling Trends among Blue Marlin Anglers Following the 2008 Circle Hook Regulation
Kelly, Marisa Ann (East Carolina University, 2022-05-06)The blue marlin Makaira nigricans (Lacepède, 1802) is a highly migratory, large pelagic predator that is subject to overfishing as bycatch in longline fisheries and as game fish in recreational tournaments, such as the ... -
Characterizing Environmental and Physicochemical Conditions in Nursery Areas of River Herring in Chowan River, North Carolina
Butler, Matthew G. (East Carolina University, 2012)Anadromous fishes such as blueback herring Alosa aestivalis and alewife A. pseudoharengus, utilize sounds, rivers, and tributaries during spawning. Collectively known as river herring, these two ecologically important ... -
Characterizing Interactions of Thioflavin-T with Native Proteins Especially Bovine Serum Albumin
Stratton, Caleb Matthew (East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Thioflavin T is a fluorescent probe used to monitor formation of cross [beta]-sheet rich amyloid fibrils. Involvement of the amyloid fibrils is implicated in more than 50 human diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's ... -
Characterizing Multigenerational Effects of Nicotine-Dependent Behaviors in Caenorhabditis Elegans
Sepic, Lucille Rose (East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)This project aims to investigate the effects nicotine, a highly addictive chemical associated with tobacco smoking, have on offspring (F1 and F2) using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). C. elegans is ... -
Characterizing the Role of Pectin in Cell Wall Composition and Organ Initiation in Maize
Maynard, Daniel Jarrell (East Carolina University, 2022-12-07)Plants are constantly developing new organs throughout their life and these organs arise from stem cell pools called meristems. Organ primordia are generated on the flanks of meristems when stem cells differentiate into ... -
Characterizing the role of the Early Gene at 23 (E23) in Drosophila Melanogaster Oogenesis
Kothadia, Radhika J (East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) females undergo oogenesis to create oocytes from undifferentiated stem cells in the ovary. Similar to estrogen in humans, the steroid hormone ecdysone in fruit flies has a known role in ... -
Characterizing the subcellular localization and function of Citron Kinase in the germline of Drosophila melanogaster
Porter, Kyra M. (East Carolina University, 2023-05-02)Cytokinesis, or the final division of cells, is a conserved and highly regulated process that is crucial for all multicellular organisms. Errors in cytokinesis are linked to a variety of maladies, including microcephaly ... -
