Gene regulatory networks during muscle development

Creator:

Eng, Diana G.

Abstract:

Congenital myopathies are caused by heritable mutations in particular genes. Genes mutated in congenital muscular dystrophies often encode cytoskeletal proteins, which contribute to the shape and movement of cells. We would like to know how such molecular defects lead to the muscle weakness in patients. It is therefore important to...

A fistful of Astragalus : phenotypic and genotypic basis of the most taxon rich species in the North American flora

Creator:

Knaus, Brian J.

Abstract:

The study of the infra-specific ranks (i.e., subspecies and variety) can be considered the study of the process of speciation. Astragalus lentiginosus Douglas ex Hooker (Fabaceae) is the most taxon rich species in the U.S. flora currently including 40 taxonomic varieties. These varieties were described using traditional taxonomic methods primarily...
