Studying Neurogenetics in Fish Mating Patterns
Mate choice plays an important role in reproductive isolation and hybridization between species. Mating preferences are often learned in early social development; therefore an
individual's social environment can have ...
Genetic Diversity of White Tigers and Genetic Factors Related to Coat Color
(2013-02-04)
White tigers are greatly cherished by the public, making them valuable to zoos and breeders. Unfortunately, a number of health issues have occasionally surfaced within some of the white tiger population such as neurological ...
Mitochondrial Adaptation during Acini Formation
The role mitochondria play in mammary gland development is not fully understood and therefore provides an interesting opportunity to study novel interactions. The purpose of this project is to elucidate unknown cellular ...
Administration of Parabacteroides distasonis in the Attenuation of Colorectal Cancer in a Carcinogenic Murine Model
The gut microbiome and its effects on its host’s health has become an important factor when trying to understand that etiology of disease and therefore its diagnosis and treatment. In previous studies, the bacterial species ...
Analyzing TnSeq Data to Predict Insertion Counts in M. tuberculosis
TnSeq is a genetic method used to evaluate the essentiality of genes in bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It uses random insertions by the Himar1 transposon and high throughput sequencing to determine the most ...
Noncanonical Amino Acid Incorporated Photocaged Cysteine for Multiple Cysteine Based ACPL Approach
(2020-04-30)
Today, proteins and protein functionality are a major focus of biological chemistry. Every synthesized protein has a unique and innate biological function, understanding these functions and their application has been at ...
Polyphosphate Signaling Hints at Potential Therapeutics for Tuberculosis
(2021-05-11)
Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of death by any single infectious agent worldwide. The bacterium that causes tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), has evolved mechanisms to bypass host defenses, even ...
Genetic Diversity in the Hydroid Janaria mirabilis: Possible Presence of Cryptic Species
(2014-09-25)
Janaria mirabilis (Hydractiniidae, Hydrozoa, Cnidaria) is a calcareous hydrozoan that forms encrusting colonies on gastropod shells. Identifying Hydractiniids using morphology only has been shown to be misleading due to ...
