Identifying Reference Genes With Stable Expression From High Throughput Sequence Data, Harriet Alexander, Bethany D. Jenkins, Tatiana A. Rynearson, Mak A. Saito, Melissa L. Mercier, Sonya T. Dyhrman

Graduate School of Oceanography Faculty Publications

Genes that are constitutively expressed across multiple environmental stimuli are crucial to quantifying differentially expressed genes, particularly when employing quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assays. However, the identification of these potential reference genes in non-model organisms is challenging and is often guided by expression patterns in distantly related organisms. Here, transcriptome datasets from the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana grown under replete, phosphorus-limited, iron-limited, and phosphorus and iron co-limited nutrient regimes were analyzed through literature-based searches for homologous reference genes, k-means clustering, and analysis of sequence counts (ASC) to identify putative reference genes. A total of 9759 genes were identified …

Molecular Subdivision Of The Marine Diatom Thalassiosira Rotula In Relation To Geographic Distribution, Genome Size, And Physiology, Kerry A. Whittaker, Dayna R. Rignanese, Robert J. Olson, Tatiana A. Rynearson

Graduate School of Oceanography Faculty Publications

Background:

Marine phytoplankton drift passively with currents, have high dispersal potentials and can be comprised of morphologically cryptic species. To examine molecular subdivision in the marine diatom Thalassiosira rotula, variations in rDNA sequence, genome size, and growth rate were examined among isolates collected from the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean basins. Analyses of rDNA included T. gravida because morphological studies have argued that T. rotula and T. gravida are conspecific.

Results:

Culture collection isolates of T. gravida and T. rotula diverged by 7.0 ± 0.3% at the ITS1 and by 0.8 ± 0.03% at the 28S. Within T. rotula, field …

Tidal Flushing Restores The Physiological Condition Of Fish Residing In Degraded Salt Marshes, Kimberly L. Dibble, Laura A. Meyerson

Natural Resources Science Faculty Publications

Roads, bridges, and dikes constructed across salt marshes can restrict tidal flow, degrade habitat quality for nekton, and facilitate invasion by non-native plants including Phragmites australis. Introduced P. australis contributes to marsh accretion and eliminates marsh surface pools thereby adversely affecting fish by reducing access to intertidal habitats essential for feeding, reproduction, and refuge. Our study assessed the condition of resident fish populations (Fundulus heteroclitus) at four tidally restricted and four tidally restored marshes in New England invaded by P. australis relative to adjacent reference salt marshes. We used physiological and morphological indicators of fish condition, including …

The Effects Of Four Hypocaloric Diets Containing Different Levels Of Sucrose Or High Fructose Corn Syrup On Weight Loss And Related Parameters, Joshua Lowndes, Diana Kawiecki, Sabrina Pardo, Von Nguyen, Kathleen J. Melanson, Zhiping Yu, James M. Rippe

Nutrition Faculty Publications

Background:

The replacement of sucrose with HFCS in food products has been suggested as playing a role in the development of obesity as a public health issue. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of four equally hypocaloric diets containing different levels of sucrose or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

Methods:

This was a randomized, prospective, double blind trial, with overweight/obese participants measured for body composition and blood chemistry before and after the completion of 12 weeks following a hypocaloric diet. The average caloric deficit achieved on the hypocaloric diets was 309 kcal.

Results:

Reductions were observed …

Hybridization Of Common Reed In North America? The Answer Is Blowing In The Wind, Laura A. Meyerson, C. Lambertini, M. K. Mccormick, D. F. Whigham

Natural Resources Science Faculty Publications

Background and aims: We review evidence for hybridization of Phragmites australis in North America and the implications for the persistence of native P. australis ssp. americanus populations in North America. We also highlight the need for an updated classification system, which takes P. australis intraspecific variation and hybridization into account.

Methodology: We reviewed available published, in press, and in preparation literature to assess the likelihood of hybridization and interbreeding in genotypes of Phragmites australis present in North America.

Principal results: Experimental results demonstrate that hybridization among introduced and native haplotypes is possible within the genus Phragmites …
