During mitosis, sister chromatids are separated by the action of the mitotic spindle. The mitotic spindle attaches to chromosomes at centromeres through a protein complex called the kinetochore. While ~100 proteins have been identified at kinetochores and centromeres, the function of most is poorly understood.
The centromere protein, CENP-T (Centromere...

Cyanobacterial blooms are a growing concern in the Pacific Northwest because of their
threat to watershed health and drinking water supplies. Bacteriophages are pathogens of
bacteria and may contribute to the growth and decline of seasonal blooms. Bacteriophage
S-CRM01, a lytic T4-type myophage, has been isolated from a freshwater strain...

Legged robots, while advancing quickly, have far to go before they can recover from major disturbances safely and consistently. Reflected inertia, which affects how quickly the actuators can physically respond to an environmental disturbance, and delay, which describes the time necessary for the controller to sense, re-plan, and respond to...
