Simultaneous Positive and Purifying Selection on Overlapping Reading Frames of the tat and vpr Genes of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus
(East Carolina University, 2001-09)Tat-specific cytotoxic T cells have previously been shown to exert positive Darwinian selection favoring amino acid replacements of an epitope of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). The region of the tat gene encoding ... -
Skimmer Trawl Modifications to Reduce Bycatch in the Inshore Brown and Pink Shrimp Fishery in North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 1995-06)A study was conducted during May-June 1995 comparing catch composition of a standard high profile skimmer trawl net (12 fi) and a low profile skimmer trawl net (3 fi) in the North and Newport Rivers, North Carolina. Each ... -
Sld5, A Subunit of the Heterotetrameric GINS Complex is Necessary for Normal Cell Cycle Progression and Genomic Stability
(East Carolina University, 2010)Sld5 is one component of the GINS heterotetrameric complex essential to DNA replication. Specifically, GINS is known for its integral role during the G1 to S phase transition in the cell cycle. The GINS complex is comprised ... -
SMAD3 OVEREXPRESSION ENHANCES VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELL ATTACHMENT
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and illness in the United States and worldwide. Smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration and secretion of extracellular matrix materials are key components of adverse ... -

Social Factors Key to Landscape-Scale Coastal Restoration: Lessons Learned from Three U.S. Case Studies
(2020-01-23)In the United States, extensive investments have been made to restore the ecological function and services of coastal marine habitats. Despite a growing body of science supporting coastal restoration, few studies have ... -
SOCIAL REGULATION OF THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM IN ZEBRAFISH MOTOR CIRCUITS
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)Social status-dependent modulation of neural circuits has been investigated extensively in vertebrate and invertebrate systems. However, the effect of social status on shifting the balance in activation between competing ... -
Social Regulation of the Escape and Swim Motor Circuits in Dopamine Receptor Type 1 Mutant Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)Dominance hierarchies are an evolutionary mechanism to ensure the stability of animal groups by enabling the division of resources like food and mates according to social rank. Once dominance is established, the behavior ...
