A Comparative Study Mapping the Landscape of Repetitive Elements in Fundulus heteroclitus
(Wheaton College. (Norton, Mass.), 2021-05-16)Fundulus heteroclitus has shown to be capable of rapid adaptation in environments lethal to most other species. Comparisons of isolated Fundulus heteroclitus populations in similar polluted environments have been found to ... -
Evolution and diversification in toll-like receptors of fundulus heteroclitus and teleosts based on whole genomic data.
(Wheaton College (MA), 2019)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a major component of the innate immune system and are pivotal for organismal survival by recognizing a diverse group of pathogens. Compared to mammals, TLRs are found to be more diverse in ... -
Analysis of ciliary gene expression in sea urchin development.
(Wheaton College (MA), 2019)Cilia are important cellular organelles tied to many disease states due to their pivotal roll in important cellular processes, including early organism development. In this Honors Thesis, cilia were studied in developing ... -
Genomics approaches to analyzing ciliary gene functions and regulation.

Evidence for selection of toll-like receptors in Atlantic killifish Fundulus heteroclitus.
(Wheaton College (Norton, Mass.), 2014)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a multigene family whose function is critical to the innate immune system in invertebrates and vertebrates. Variation within TLR gene regions may be a reflection of environment and pathogen ...
