Contributions Of DNA Sequence Elements, Plasmid-Encoded Proteins And Host Proteins To Maintenance Of The Yeast 2-Micron Plasmid
(2016-09-12)The 2-micron plasmid is found at high copy in the nuclei of most strains of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Despite conferring no selective advantage to its host, the plasmid is able to persist due to mechanisms ... -
DECIPHERING THE INDUCTION AND PATTERNING OF THE CONJUNCTIVAL PAPILLAE IN THE CHICKEN, GALLUS GALLUS
(2017-02-02)The conjunctival papillae (CP), epithelial thickenings on the surface of the conjunctiva, are required for the induction of the underlying neural crest-derived, intramembranous scleral bones. Induction of the CP begins ... -
The Diversity and Origins of Mitochondrion-Related Organelles
(2016-09-12)Multiple distantly-related eukaryotic lineages have adapted to low-oxygen environments, and possess modified mitochondria, known as mitochondrion-related organelles (MROs). Although relatively few MROs have been investigated ... -
Hierarchical Structure and Diversity in a Dendritic Lake Trout (Salvelinus Namaycush) System in Northern Labrador
(2012-10-23)I examined the relationship between landscape attributes and population differentiation among lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) populations inhabiting a hierarchically structured dendritic freshwater system in northern ... -
Studies on the genome biology and evolution of Acanthamoeba
(2024-08-22)Acanthamoeba castellanii has the potential to be a model organism for studying genome evolution and lateral gene transfer in eukaryotes. However, its complex and dynamic genome has posed a challenge to realizing the full ...
