Comparison Of The DNA Methylation Patterns Between Interspecific Xenopus F1 Hybrids And Their Parental Species
(Biology, 2011-07-14)
In this study the main focus is to compare the methylation patterns of interspecific Xenopus F1 hybrids to the parental species using Methyl-Sensitive Amplification Polymorphisms (MSAPs). Genomic DNA was extracted from the ...
Intra-specific Variation Across A Small Temperature Difference In The Spider Rabidosa rabida (Araneae: Lycosidae) From The Mountains In Arkansas
(Biology, 2011-07-14)
Temperature affects all levels of biological organization and ultimately affects multiple aspects of ecological performance and fitness. Generalist arthropod predators are ectothermic and are strongly affected by temperature ...
Using Shewanella Baltica Ecotypes As A Model For Transcriptional Variation At The Population Level
(Biology, 2011-03-03)
Eukaryotic studies have shown considerable transcriptional variation among individuals of the same population. Owing to the cost of sequencing entire eukaryotic genomes, tested organisms were assumed to be genomically ...
A Biochemical Approach To Determine The Target Site Recognition Mechanism Of The R2 Retrotransposable Elements
(Biology, 2011-07-14)
Non-LTR Retrotransposons (NLRs) are selfish mobile genetic elements which parasitize the genomes of many organisms including humans. These elements transpose through an RNA intermediate and integrate directly into their ...
Environmental Regulation Of Stomate-based Defense Against Bacterial Infection in Arabidopsis
(Biology, 2011-03-03)
Stomata are natural openings in the plant epidermis responsible for gas (O2 and CO2) exchange between plant interior and environment. They are formed by a pair of guard cells, which are able to close the stomatal pore in ...
Insights Into The Transmission Of Helitrons And Their Impact On The Genome Architecture Of Myotis Lucifugus, The Little Brown Bat
(Biology, 2011-03-03)
Probably the most dynamic proportion of multicellular eukaryotic genomes is composed of teeming populations of parasitic mobile DNA, called transposable elements (TEs). Helitrons are rolling circle TEs that have a limited ...
Molecular Systematics Of The Coffee Snakes, Genus Ninia (Colubridae: Dipsadinae)
(Biology, 2011-10-11)
Although previous studies have addressed issues relating to the systematics and taxonomy in the snake genus Ninia, the evolutionary history of the group remains largely unknown. Preliminary morphological studies have been ...
