Intron position in RNA polymerase genes and their relationship to eukaryotic phylogenies
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing amount of research devoted to the study of intron evolution and its relationship to eukaryotic phylogeny. Previous studies have shown that a large percentage of ...
Macondo-1 well oil-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in mesozooplankton from the northern Gulf of Mexico
(2012)
Mesozooplankton (>200 μm) collected in August and September of 2010 from the northern Gulf of Mexico show evidence of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Multivariate statistical analysis revealed that ...
Psf2, a member of the heterotetrameric GINS Complex, plays a role in cell cycle progression and maintenance of genomic integrity
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Multiple proteins are involved in the complete and accurate replication of the genome during S phase of the cell cycle. At the G1/S phase transition, the heterotetrameric GINS complex is recruited to the origin, and ...
Coyotes Sang the Braid Into Her Hair
(East Carolina University, 2010)
A chapbook length collection of lyric poetry that explores the myth-making process through the tension of opposites: the nature of the substantive (body) and the ephemeral (mind), the wild vs. the tame self, the rational ...
Can Passive Acoustics be Used to Estimate the Length of Atlantic Croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) within the Pamlico Estuary?
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Council (AFMFC) attributes the decline in the Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) stock to over-fishing practices. The majority of collected Atlantic croaker are small, young of ...
LOCALIZATION AND CHANGES OF NUCLEAR PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS IN ZEBRAFISH OOCYTES AND ADJACENT FOLLICULAR CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The nuclear progesterone receptor (Pgr) is one of the major mediators for progestin signaling during oocyte ovulation in vertebrates. However, any roles Pgr may play in oocyte growth, and especially in the final oocyte ...
Interaction and Functional Analysis of Drosophila Mcm10
(East Carolina University, 2010)
In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication and the subsequent packaging of DNA into specific chromatin states are essential processes for the transmission of genetic material and genomic stability which may be linked by interactions ...
Effect of green tea Polyphenon 60 on microRNA expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells
(East Carolina University, 2010)
In Western countries, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and it is the second leading cause of female cancer death in America. The biochemical basis of the observed anti-oncogenic properties of green tea has ...
Bioenergetics and Trophic Impacts of Invasive Indo-Pacific Lionfish
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Indo-Pacific lionfish, Pterois volitans and Pterois miles, are non-native marine fish with established populations in the western North Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Rapid population growth threatens native fish ...
MICROBIAL DIVERSITY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY IN A SERPENTINITE-HOSTED ECOSYSTEM
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The goal of this project was to characterize the taxonomic and functional diversity and document biogeographic patterns of microbial communities in an ecosystem influenced by active serpentinization. Serpentinization is a ...
