  • Evolutionary history and speciation of the genus Tragopan

    Creator:
    Islam, Kamal
    Abstract:
    A study of the phyletic relationships among five species of tragopans and an outgroup, the Blood Pheasant (Ithaginis cruentus), was conducted from 1987 to 1991. Biochemical, behavioral, and external morphologic characteristics were compared. A cladistic approach was used to compare the behavioral, biochemical, and external morphologic data collectively, as different...

  • Precursors for mitochondrial DNA replication : metabolic sources and relations to mutagenesis and human diseases

    Creator:
    Song, Shiwei
    Abstract:
    It is well known that the mitochondrial genome has a much higher spontaneous mutation rate than the nuclear genome. mtDNA mutations have been identified in association with many diseases and aging. mtDNA replication continues throughout the cell cycle, even in post-mitotic cells. Therefore, a constant supply of nucleotides is required...
