Phosphatidylinositol 3,5‐bisphosphate: Low abundance, high significance
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-01)
No jacket required – new fungal lineage defies dress code
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2012-02)
Analyses of environmental DNAs have provided tantalizing evidence for “rozellida” or “cryptomycota”, a clade of mostly undescribed and deeply diverging aquatic fungi. Here, we put cryptomycota into perspective through ...
Shadow enhancers: Frequently asked questions about distributed cis ‐regulatory information and enhancer redundancy
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2012-02)
This paper, in the form of a frequently asked questions page (FAQ), addresses outstanding questions about “shadow enhancers”, quasi‐redundant cis ‐regulatory elements, and their proposed roles in transcriptional control. ...
Records of Growth and Weaning in Fossil Proboscidean Tusks as Tests of Pleistocene Extinction Mechanisms.
(2016)
Mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) and mastodons (Mammut americanum) became extinct about 10,000 ago. Their disappearances coincide broadly with the timing of two possible causal factors: climate change leading into the ...
Beyond nutrients: Food‐derived microRNAs provide cross‐kingdom regulation
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2012-04)
Food turns out to be not only the nutrient supplier for our body but also a carrier of regulatory information. Interestingly, a recent study made the discovery that some plant/food‐derived microRNAs (miRNAs) accumulate in ...
Elucidating the Genetic Basis of Pigmentation Differences between Drosophila Species.
(2012)
Understanding how phenotypes change has been a long-standing question in evolutionary biology. The research presented here investigates the genetic basis of the pigmentation difference exhibited between the dark pigmented ...
Patched Together: cis-Regulatory Logic of the Hedgehog Response.
(2016)
Understanding the processes that control how we develop from a fertilized embryo to a functional adult is paramount for treating the diseases that result when these processes are disrupted at any stage of life. My dissertation ...
Inside or Out: Characterizing petrobactin use by Bacillus anthracis
(2018)
Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacillus and causes the disease anthrax. Anthrax is a deadly infection that begins with phagocytosis of a B. anthracis spore by an antigen presenting cell and ends when ...
The Evolution of Gene Regulation in Drosophila.
(2014)
Differences in gene expression drive phenotypic diversity. At the level of transcription, these differences are largely controlled by the complex interplay between trans-acting factors and the cis-regulatory sequences to ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
