Lindsey Bostelman

A structural domain in histone H3 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays dual roles in gene silencing and repair of UV-damanged DNA via the Rad18-dependent post-replication repair pathway.

Laura Cannon

Preliminary work for investigating the transcriptional regulation of spicule matrix genes in the sea urchin.

Chris Dougherty

The effects of road salt components on amphibian tadpoles.

Daniel Hughes

The interspecific roosting behaviors of turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) and black vultures (Coragyps atratus).

Nik Kiehl

The isolation of sea urchin skeletogenic genes SM32 and SM37.

Katie McHugh

The histone H3 telomeric silencing domain cooperatively functions with transcriptional silencing protein Sir3 to play a distinct role in the repair of DNA damage caused by methyl methane sulfonate.

Lindsay Michael

A survey of a breeding population of spotted salamanders and their habitat.

Michael Perkins

Characterization of a two-component system in Burkholderia cenocepacia.

Jordan Smith

Preliminary studies in the identification of nuclear gene regions for assessing biparental inheritance in moonworts (Botrychium s.s.).

Leigh Stone

Post-translational modifications of histones H3 and H4 are important in UV-mediated DNA damage.
