Genetic Structure Of Yonahlossee Salamander Populations., Joshua Andrew Rudd
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Plethodon yonahlossee is the largest eastern Plethodontid salamander. It has been classified as a species of greatest conservation need by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). Found only in mountainous areas along the borders of Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia, populations of the yonahlossee are considered to be rare and local throughout their range. Genetic differentiation among populations of any species is usually attributable to long-standing, extrinsic barriers to gene flow. Because of their disjunct population structure and some observed morphological variation, genetic differentiation among yonahlossee populations is expected. A genetic structure study of yonahlossee was conducted to identify any …
Differential Expression Of Genes During Diapause In The Flesh Fly, Sarcophaga Crassipalpis., Puja Karki
Differential Expression Of Genes During Diapause In The Flesh Fly, Sarcophaga Crassipalpis., Puja Karki
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this study was to identify genes that are differentially regulated during diapause when compared with nondiapausing pupae in Sarcophaga crassipalpis. The results of a Suppression Subtractive Hybridization procedure was used to indentify genes that are differentially regulated in both diapause and nondiapausing states while suppressing genes that are common to both states. Randomly picked colonies from both subtractive libraries were isolated and the inserts sequenced. The sequences were analyzed using the bioinformatics tools NCBI, BlastX, Clustal W, etc. Out of 384 clones, 59 genes were found to be upregulated during diapause and 37 genes were found …
