A high-efficiency CRISPR/Cas9 system for targeted mutagenesis in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
(2017-03-03)
The complex allotetraploid genome is one of major challenges in cotton for repressing gene expression.
Developing site-specific DNA mutation is the long-term dream for cotton breeding scientists. The
clustered regularly ...
Top-down pulses reduce prey population sizes and persistence
(2018-06-19)
Resource pulses are well documented and have important consequences for population dynamics relative to continuous inputs. However, pulses of top-down factors (e.g. predation) are less explored and appreciated in the ...
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
(2019-04-18)
Abstract
Background
Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration ...
DNA methylation analyses identify an intronic ZDHHC6 locus associated with time to recurrent stroke in the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention (VISP) clinical trial
(2021-07-12)
Aberrant DNA methylation profiles have been implicated in numerous cardiovascular diseases; however, few studies have investigated how these epigenetic modifications contribute to stroke recurrence. The aim of this study ...
A Genetic Mosaic Screen Reveals Ecdysone-Responsive Genes Regulating Drosophila Oogenesis
(2016-08)
Multiple aspects of Drosophila oogenesis, including germline stem cell activity, germ cell differentiation, and follicle survival, are regulated by the steroid hormone ecdysone. While the transcriptional targets of ecdysone ...
Applying Community-Based Participatory Research Partnership Principles to Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks
(2016)
With real-world relevance and translatability as important goals, applied methodological approaches have arisen along the
participatory continuum that value context and empower stakeholders to partner actively with academics ...
Does Land Degradation Increase Poverty in Developing Countries?
(2016-05-11)
Land degradation is a global problem that particularly impacts the poor rural inhabitants of low and middle-income countries. We improve upon existing literature by estimating the extent of rural populations in 2000 and ...
The mismatch between current statistical practice and doctoral training in ecology
(2016-08-17)
Ecologists are studying increasingly complex and important issues such as climate change and ecosystem services. These topics often involve large data sets and the application of complicated quantitative models. We evaluated ...
Health effects following subacute exposure to geogenic dust collected from active drainage surfaces (Nellis Dunes Recreation Area, Las Vegas, NV)
(2017-12-08)
The specific health effects of directinhalation of fine minerogenic dusts generated by natural soil surfaces
remain poorly known and relatively little researched. To learn more about this exposure and its contribution
to ...
