RNA polymerase II CTD Evolutionary Diversity and Associated Protein Identification in Green and Red Algae
(East Carolina University, 2014)
In model eukaryotes, the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit (RPB1) of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II is composed of tandemly repeated heptads with the consensus sequence YSPTSPS. Both the core motif and tandem ...
Evaluating The Essential Functions Of The Replication Factor Mcm10 In Drosophila Melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Often referred to as miraculous, life as we know depends not upon miracles but on a series of highly orchestrated and regulated biochemical processes collectively known as the cell cycle. It is through these series of ...
Fishing For The Evolutionary Bases Of Female Ornamentation
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Sexual dimorphism, or phenotypic differentiation of the sexes, is widespread amongst animals. It is understood mainly in the context of sexual selection, i.e. selection on mating success, with such selection typically ...
HIGHER-LEVEL SYSTEMATICS OF THE MILLIPEDES (ARTHROPODA: MYRIAPODA: DIPLOPODA) EVALUATED USING TRANSCRIPTOMIC DATA, MITOCHONDRIAL GENOMICS, AND CLASSIFICATION ANALYSES
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Knowledge of deep level phylogenetic relationships within and between many animal groups is currently lacking. Past attempts to reconstruct these ancient evolutionary relationships once relied chiefly on morphological ...
p53 and NGAL: dual regulatory roles in advanced prostate cancer
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The development of prostate cancer from small regions of hyperplasia to invasive tumors requires genetic and epigenetic alterations of critical cellular components to aid in the development of cells more adapted for aberrant ...
