Consequences Of Long-Term Fertilization on Wetland Microbial Function
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)
Anthropogenic disturbances have led to increased deposition of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) into soils. Nutrient enrichment of soils is known to increase plant biomass and also increase rates of microbial litter ...
Investigating the Impact of Mettl16 Cellular Localization on RNA Binding Preferences
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-14)
Recently, mRNA modification by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been shown to be involved in post-transcriptional regulation processes including mRNA stability, splicing and promotion of translation. Accordingly, the mRNA ...
