Genetic Diversity in the Dingo
We have recently begun a research project to detect genetic differences between Australian dingoes and domestic dogs. We will use molecular techniques, testing DNA samples extracted from blood and preserved skins using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The highly polymorphic, nuclear microsatellite loci that are extensively used in our lab ...

Rosenstiel School: Invertebrate Museum
Atlantic marine invertebrates and highly representative collections from the eastern tropical Pacific, coupled with the recent use of molecular techniques and interests in phylogenetics, biodiversity, biocomplexity, conservation, responsible management and sustainable use of marine resources and the search for natural marine products, the ...

GrungyApe - Hominidae
Pongidae (from which the gibbons were sometimes separated as the Hylobatidae). The evidence linking humans to gorillas and chimps has grown dramatically in the past two decades, especially with the increased use of molecular techniques. It now appears that chimps, gorillas, and humans form a clade of closely related species; orangutans are slightly less ...

GC are synthesized and metabolized, as well as how active GC elicit their effects within target cells. I use molecular techniques to examine how GC synthesis and action is regulated in elasmobranchs. By isolating the genes which encode steroidogenic enzymes, I can determine what factors are responsible for the expression of these genes. Similarly, the ...

Deep-Sea Coral Research
How are populations of corals connected? Are coral populations spread across the undersea landscape along a series of stepping-stones or do they send larvae everywhere and patchy populations are the result of random recruitment? Modern molecular techniques that can track markers in the genes of corals can be used to understand how populations are connected and can ...

USGS National Wildlife Health Center - Amphibian Malformation and Decline
National Wildlife Health Center. This nationwide health monitoring - part of the Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative - has lead to the discovery of new diseases and the development of new molecular techniques to more rapidly identify diseases, giving researchers a better idea of how to contain and manage declining amphibian populations. For more information about this topic, contact: Dr. ...

Molecular Pharming by Chloroplast Transformation
Furthermore, the high level of expression of antibiotic resistance marker gene would greatly exacerbate public concern over the environment release of such transplastomic plants, although techniques for removing the antibiotic resistance marker gene, once it has served its useful purpose, are being developed. Nevertheless, Maliga ended on an optimistic note: the capacity to express ...
