Investigating the genetic interaction between DNA replication proteins Mcm10 and RecQ4 in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-12)
Necessary to the survival of cellular life is proper replication and maintenance of the genome. Replication proteins Mcm10 and RecQ4 have well-characterized essential roles in assembly, initiation, proper functioning of ...
Exploring the Potential of Sucralose as a Cryopreservative for Red Blood Cells
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-11)
Cryopreservation is a technique that involves freezing living cells to preserve them in long-term storage. Freezing and preserving living cells would not be possible without the assistance of cryopreservatives. Many ...
Adaptive responses to salinity stress across multiple life stages in anuran amphibians
(2017-08-01)
Background
In many regions, freshwater wetlands are increasing in salinity at rates exceeding historic levels. Some freshwater organisms, like amphibians, may be able to adapt and persist in salt-contaminated wetlands by ...
A second locality for the Namib darkling beetle Onymacris brainei (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera) and first report on its molecular phylogenetic placement
(2017)
Onymacris brainei Penrith, 1984 – the most recent species of Onymacris to be described – is known only from its type locality in the Namib Desert, adjacent to the Cunene River in northern Namibia. No additional specimens ...
TITANIUM DIOXIDE NANOPARTICLES AFFECT THE GROWTH AND MIRNA EXPRESSION OF SWITCHGRASS (PANICUM VIRGATUM)
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-28)
Nanoparticle TiO2 is a common chemical used in paint, plastic, paper, ceramics, coated fabrics, floor coverings, printing ink, roofing granules, cosmetics, dyes and even food and drugs. As increasing usage of TiO2, it is ...
Genomic Database Conundrum: Widespread Misannotation of rRNA Sequences as Protein Sequences
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-11)
The genomics revolution introduced affordable technology capable of rapidly analyzing and comparing massive amounts of biological sequence data. Using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) program on the National ...
Describing Nitrogen Dynamics in Eastern North Carolina Waterfowl Impoundments by Combining Field-Scale and Laboratory-Scale Based Approaches
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-01)
Waterfowl impoundments are wetlands that are hydrologically managed to provide food and habitat for migratory bird populations. Certain impoundment types have recently been found to export nitrogen (N) loads during seasonally ...
