A key question in biological oceanography is how plankton populations maintain themselves in regions of favorable growth and survival in the face of horizontal transport by ocean currents. Plankton are thought to be retained ...

In Eukaryotic cells, the packaging of genomic DNA into chromatin has important consequences for all DNA-dependent transactions. Chromatin structure is highly regulated by a variety of complex processes that are not well ...

The development of the immune system is a highly dynamic process, characterized by quickly and frequently changing cell types and numbers. The orchestration of cell growth and proliferation and also of cell death is a ...

(cont) An increased understanding of heterotrophic bacterial strategies for acquiring nutrients and trace elements is critical for elucidating their impact on biogeochemical cycling in the ocean. It is estimated that iron ...

The bgaH gene isolated from Haloferax lucentensis codes for P-galactosidase. To study the function of initiator tRNAs in translation initiation in Haloferax volcanii, the initiator AUG codon of the bgaH gene was mutated ...
