Inflammatory markers and genetic predispositions to Plasmodium falciparum-associated poor pregnancy outcomes
(Georgetown University, 2009)
Identification of A-to-I RNA Editing Sites in the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Brain Using RNAseq Data
(Georgetown University, 2014)
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification process that leads to addition, substitution and deletion of certain bases in RNA molecules, and accordingly alters their biological properties. As the most widespread ...
Ecological and Life History Factors Influence Habitat and Tool Use in Wild Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops sp.)
(Georgetown University, 2012)
While it has long been known that individual animals behave quite distinctively from other conspecifics, only recently has this intraspecific behavioral variation itself been the subject of investigation rather than a ...
Giardia lamblia, the Intestinal Microbiome, and Innate Immunity: A Study of the Host-Parasite Relationship during G. lamblia Infection
(Georgetown University, 2015)
Infection with the protozoan parasite G. lamblia is a major cause of diarrheal disease worldwide. Prevalence is highest in developing countries with an estimated 20-30% of the population infected at any given time. G. ...
The Population and Ecological Genetic Effects of Habitat Fragmentation
(Georgetown University, 2017)
Maintaining intraspecific variation is important for populations’ long-term success and is increasingly being recognized as an important conservation goal. Populations in anthropogenically fragmented habitats may lose ...
Characterization of the Function of Sox21 During Neurogenesis
(Georgetown University, 2014)
Neurogenesis, the progression from neural progenitor to committed neuron, is a tightly regulated process that is fundamental for development of the central nervous system. Whereas the SoxB1 transcriptional activators are ...
The regulation and function of SoxB1 genes and proteins during neural induction and development in Xenopus laevis
(Georgetown University, 2009)
Ecology and population differentiation of the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus
(Georgetown University, 2009)
FITNESS, POLLEN DISPERSAL, AND FLORAL-DISPLAY SIZE EVOLUTION IN ANIMAL-POLLINATED PLANTS
(Georgetown University, 2011)
The great variation in floral-display size (the number of flowers per plant) (FDS) in the thousands of angiosperm species has intrigued biologists and others for centuries, eliciting investigations regarding the ecology, ...
The nuclear factor kappa b (NFkb) plays a critical role in the development of antiestrogen resistance
(Georgetown University, 2009)
