Homeobox genes in the development and regeneration of the cephalochordate Branchiostoma lanceolatum and the polychaete annelid Spirobranchus lamarcki
(University of St Andrews, 2019) - ThesisThe development of complex animal morphology requires the extremely sophisticated spatiotemporal coordination of cell behaviour and communication. Homeobox genes encode transcription factors that are deployed in developmental ... -
Building a molecular machine : heterologous expression and biochemical characterisation of transcription factor IIH
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-26) - ThesisOrganisms across Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya possess a series of mechanisms to protect the integrity of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from the constant attack of internal and external factors that modify the structure ... -
The biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and value of restored salt marshes in the Eden Estuary, Scotland
(University of St Andrews, 2018) - ThesisThe ecosystem service (ES) framework is increasingly being incorporated into management decisions, providing a basis by which ES can be quantified to understand the impact of decisions to society and the environment. Our ... -
Evolutionary theory of human warfare: genes, individuals, groups
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-26) - ThesisRecent years have seen an explosion of multidisciplinary interest in coalitionary intergroup aggression – i.e. warfare – in human societies, and considerable advances in our understanding of its origins and evolutionar ... -
Investigation of the chromatin remodelling enzyme Uls1 and its interactions with Topoisomerase 2 in S. cerevisiae
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-26) - ThesisAcriflavine (ACF) is a Topoisomerase 2 (Top2) poison, a class of drugs which stall Top2 during its reaction cycle causing the formation of persistent DNA breaks to which Top2 remains covalently bound. Deletion of ULS1 ...
