Abundance and Viability of Striped Bass Eggs Spawned in Roanoke River, North Carolina, in 1988
(East Carolina University, 1989-10)Sampling to estimate production and viability of striped bass eggs was conducted at Pollock’s Ferry on the Roanoke River, North Carolina, from 10 April to 7 June 1988. Samples were taken by towing paired nets at the surface ... -
Abundance and Viability of Striped Bass Eggs Spawned in Roanoke River, North Carolina, in 1989
(East Carolina University, 1990-11)Sampling to estimate production and viability of striped bass eggs was conducted at Barnhill’s Landing on the Roanoke River, North Carolina, from 15 April to 15 June 1989. Samples were taken by trailing paired nets at the ... -
Abundance and Viability of Striped Bass Eggs Spawned in the Roanoke River, North Carolina in 1991
(East Carolina University, 1993-05)Striped bass spawning activity in the Roanoke River, North Carolina, was documented in 1991 by sampling for eggs at Barnhill’s Landing (River Mile 117), which is just downstream of the spawning grounds between the towns ... -

The Acquisition of a Plastid by Haptophytes, Cryptophytes, and Photosynthetic Heterokonts
(East Carolina University, 2014)Red algae and green plants are known to have obtained their photosynthetic organelles, or plastids, through the endosymbiotic adoption of cyanobacteria. It is still widely debated as to how other eukaryotic alga such as ... -
Activation of GPR4 by acidosis inhibits tumor cell migration, invasion and metastasis.
(East Carolina University, 2011)Melanoma and Prostate Cancer are two of the most diagnosed forms of cancer in the United States. The ability to metastasize and colonize in a distant location is one of the most devastating hallmarks of cancer as modes ... -
Alteration of In Vivo Cellulose Ribbon Assembly by Carboxymethylcellulose and Other Polysaccharides
(East Carolina University, 1982)In vivo cellulose ribbon assembly by the Gram-negative bacterium Acetobacter xylinum can be altered by incubation in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a negatively charged water-soluble cellulose derivative, and also by ... -
Analyses of domains and domain fusions in human proto-oncogenes
(East Carolina University, 2009-03-17)Background: Understanding the constituent domains of oncogenes, their origins and their fusions may shed new light about the initiation and the development of cancers. Results: We have developed a computational pipeline ... -
Analysis of a 41-year data set : Environmental influences on the fish assemblages of Albemarle Sound, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)North Carolina both historically and currently maintains one of the most productive fishery resource basins in the nation. However, fish stocks are spatially and temporally variable in abundance and distribution in estuarine ... -
Analysis of Complex DNA Damage Associated with Tumor Growth
(East Carolina University, 2012)The innate response of a fully functioning immune system's ability to recognize and react to the growth of a tumor by releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) may lead to chronic inflammation in many cases. This chronic ... -
Analysis of scn5Laa and scn5Lab Gene Function in Danio rerio (Zebrafish) Heart Development through TALENs/CRISPR-CAS9-mediated Gene Knockout
(East Carolina University, 2015)Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular developmental genetic effects of crude oil exposure on vertebrate embryogenesis. Our research has demonstrated that exposure of zebrafish embryos to ... -
Analysis of the hex regulon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2012)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen whose defense mechanisms include biofilm production through carbohydrate metabolism. The activity of the enzymes in the hex regulon are required for catabolism of glucose ... -
Ancient Genome Duplications Did Not Structure the Human Hox-Bearing Chromosomes
(East Carolina University, 2001-05)The fact that there are four homeobox (Hox) clusters in most vertebrates but only one in invertebrates is often cited as evidence for the hypothesis that two rounds of genome duplication by polyploidization occurred early ... -
Anti-Cancer Activity of Cucurbitacin IIa
(East Carolina University, 2012)Cancer is a debilitating disease resulting from uncontrolled proliferation. One major treatment strategy for cancer is the application of chemotherapeutic drugs which kill cancer cells. Cucurbitacins are a new family ... -
The AraC-Like Transcriptional Regulator DhbR Is Required for Maximum Expression of the 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Biosynthesis Genes in Brucella abortus 2308 in Response to Iron Deprivation
(East Carolina University, 2008-03)Phenotypic evaluation of isogenic mutants derived from Brucella abortus 2308 indicates that the AlcR homolog DhbR (2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid [2,3-DHBA] biosynthesis regulator) modulates the expression of the genes involved ... -
Are Marine Migrations of Striped Bass Genetically Pre-determined? : An investigation of Albemarle Sound-Roanoke River Striped Bass Migratory Patterns
(East Carolina University, 2010)Striped bass, Morone saxatilis, is one of the most thoroughly studied anadromous fish species in the United States, with records governing the management of the species dating back to the late 1600s. However, management ... -
Assessing cellular and genomic damage from environmental nickel using a GFP containing strain of Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2013)Nickel is a naturally found mineral that has become widely used for many electronic devices. As use and subsequent discarding of nickel containing products continues exposure to nickel increases. Nickel can cause external ... -
Assessing Morphological Variability in Silversides along the Mid-Atlantic Bight
(2015)Inland silversides (Menidia beryllina) and Atlantic silversides (Menidia menidia) are ubiquitous fishes in the estuaries on the east coast of the United States. These species are very similar in appearance and may share ... -
Benthic Biocriteria Assessment of the Lower Roanoke River, North Carolina: A Final Report to Weyerhaeuser Paper Company
