Color Pattern Evolution in the Threespine Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus): Functional, Mechanistic and Synthetic Approaches
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-19)Studies of animal color patterns have provided important insights into the nature of evolution and adaptation. Coloration may be the target of multiple evolutionary processes, including natural selection, intersexual ... -
Comparative genomics of cyclin-dependent kinases suggest co-evolution of the RNAP II C-terminal domain and CTD-directed CDKs
(East Carolina University, 2004-09-20)Background: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a large family of proteins that function in a variety of key regulatory pathways in eukaryotic cells, including control over the cell cycle and gene transcription. Among the ... -
Comparing the Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris) and American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) Sport Fishery Using Age and Spawning Composition and Social Media.
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)The goal of this study was to compare aspects of Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris) (Mitchell 1814) and American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) (Wilson 1811) life history while also providing supplemental information on their age ... -
Comparison of a Traditional Teaching Model to the SCALE-UP Teaching Model in Undergraduate Biology: A Mixed Method Study
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)This project compared a SCALE-UP teaching model to a traditional teaching model. Traditional teaching is now considered a poor motivator for student performance and interests, and the SCALE-UP model was proposed to combat ... -
Comparison of the exoS Gene and Protein Expression in Soil and Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2001-04)Exoenzyme S (ExoS) is translocated into eukaryotic cells by the type III secretory process and has been hypothesized to function in conjunction with other virulence factors in the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ... -
Comparison of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl₂ induced germ cell apoptosis in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2014)There is inadequate research data available on manufactured ZnO nanoparticles. Manufactured nanoparticles are widely used in various products and production of manufactured nanoparticles is becoming increasingly abundant. ... -
Components of Reproductive Isolation between Subspecies of an Annual Plant
(2014)Reproductive isolation is required in the divergence of species. The components of reproductive isolation are separated into either ecological or genetic components. In plants these include: habitat, temporal, pollinator ... -
Comprehensive analysis of TCP transcription factors and their expression during cotton () fiber early development
(2016-02)TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors implicated to perform a variety of physiological functions during plant growth and development. In the current study, we performed for the first time the comprehensive ... -
A Comprehensive Approach to Identify Reliable Reference Gene Candidates to Investigate the Link between Alcoholism and Endocrinology in Sprague-Dawley Rats
(2014)Gender and hormonal differences are often correlated with alcohol dependence and related complications like addiction and breast cancer. Estrogen (E2) is an important sex hormone because it serves as a key protein involved ...
