Staphylococcus lugdunensis : Genome sequence, genetic systems, virulence and an amplifiable isd locus
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Genetics and Microbiology, 2013)
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase negative staphylococcus
(CoNS). Infections caused by CoNS are normally less severe than infections
caused by S. aureus. However, S. lugdunensis is associated with a series of
severe ...
Next generation sequencing of ancient DNA
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Genetics and Microbiology, 2013)
The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies into the
field of ancient DNA has seen a paradime shift in the level of analysis that can
be completed using archaeological samples. However, to fully access ...
Surface proteins and restriction-modification systems of bovine mastitis strains of Staphylococcus aureus
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Genetics and Microbiology, 2013)
Staphylococcus aureus is frequently associated with bovine mastitis, one of the
most economically important diseases in the dairy industry. The bovine S. aureus strain
RF122 represents a geographically widespread clone ...
Dissecting the functional link between transcription factor codes and axon guidance genes in Drosophila motor neurons
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Genetics, 2013)
As axons navigate through the extracellular environment they are exposed to
different guidance cues that will steer them when sensed by receptors and cell
adhesion molecules [CAMS) present on their membranes. The intricate ...
Identification and characterisation of a novel Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 associated protein that is an alternatively spliced product of the LCOR gene locus
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Genetics and Microbiology, 2015)
Polycombs are evolutionary conserved epigenetic regulators crucial for
specification of cell types during development. They assemble in multiprotein
complexes to modify amino terminal tails of histone H3 at lysine 27 to ...
Olfactory-avoidance habituation in Drosophila melanogaster
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Genetics, 2015)
Habituation is a form of sensory filtering in response to prolonged or repeated stimuli in the environment [Harris, 1943; Thompson and Spencer, 1966; Christoffersen, 1997; Rankin et al., 2009], It provides biological ...
Investigation of the molecular mechanisms of functional innovation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Genetics and Microbiology, 2012)
The robustness to perturbations and evolvability of genomes are two major principles
that govern the emergence of genetic diversity across all forms of life. Functional
innovations that occur through the genetic diversity ...
