(2017)
We examine the effects of endangered species trade restrictions enacted by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) on species’ population trends over time. Utilizing ...
Designing tools to investigate the roles of hasp-2 and icp-1 in the regulation mode of meiosis
(2016)
We are investigating the roles of hasp-2 and icp-1 genes in chromosomal segregation of meiosis in Caenorhabditis elegans. HASP-2 and ICP-1 are part of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), which is responsible for loss ...
