Contributions Of DNA Sequence Elements, Plasmid-Encoded Proteins And Host Proteins To Maintenance Of The Yeast 2-Micron Plasmid
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 ... -
THE EVOLUTION OF ORGANELLE GENOME ARCHITECTURE
(2010-08-31)Genomic sequence data from the three domains of life have revealed a remarkable diversity of genome architectures. The relative contributions of adaptive versus non-adaptive processes in shaping this diversity are poorly ... -
Genomic Ancestry Estimation in Interspecific Grape Hybrids
(2014-04-09)The genus Vitis (the grapevine) is a group of highly diverse, diploid woody perennial vines consisting of approximately 60 species from across the northern hemisphere. To gain insights into the use of wild Vitis species ... -
Investigation of the COMT Val158Met variant association with age of onset of psychosis, adjusting for cannabis use
(Wiley Periodicals, 2017)Objective COMT rs4680 (Val158Met) genotype moderates the effect of cannabis on the age of onset of psychosis (AoP). We investigated the association between rs4680 and AoP, after adjusting for relevant covariates, in a ... -
LONG-TERM EVIDENCE THAT PRECOCIOUS PARR CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE EFFECTIVE SIZE OF A POPULATION OF ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR)
(2012-08-22)I describe temporal changes in the genetic composition of a small anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) population from South Newfoundland, an area where salmon populations are considered as Threatened (COSEWIC 2010). ...
