INVESTIGATING THE MOLECULAR CONTROL OF ECDYSONE RESPONSE GENE, E74, IN THE DROSOPHILA OVARY.
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)
Oogenesis is the process by which an egg develops from precursor cells in the ovary. This process has been widely studied; however, many of the molecular mechanisms that regulate oocyte development and growth remain unclear. ...
Prevention of synaptic loss in cortico-hippocampal culture by silencing Kremen1 with siRNA
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-19)
Research has shown that Alzheimer’s disease could be a result of an accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) plaques and tau protein. The accumulation of Aβ activates p53, which leads to an increase of Dickkopf-1 (Dkk1). When Dkk1 ...
HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER (HGT) AND SPHAGNUM FALLAX: A PHYLOGENETIC LOOK INTO THE OCCURRENCE, PREVALENCE, AND IMPORTANCE OF HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER IN A BOG MOSS
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-04)
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a biological process that involves any transmission of genetic material that isn't vertical in nature. HGT occurs frequently between prokaryotes and plays a significant role in prokaryotic ...
Investigating candidate genes for an association with skin color pattern in the mimic poison frog Ranitomeya imitator
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Understanding the genetic basis of adaptive traits can help us better understand their evolution. The mimic poison frog, Ranitomeya imitator, is native to Peru. Like many other species of poison frogs, it has aposematic ...
Chartacterizating the stigma transcriptome of leptosiphon jepsonii
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The majority of angiosperm species are hermaphroditic, containing both male and female reproductive organs on the same plant. This introduces the possibility of reproducing through self-fertilization (selfing) in flowering ...
