The current dissertation looks at the molecular evolution of protein-coding genes in the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana and within two RNA viruses, human-immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Astroviridae . We analyzed members of the receptor-like kinase (RLK) gene family in Ar…
The molecular processes that govern speciation are not completely understood, especially within marine ecosystems. Insight on the topic of speciation can be provided by focusing on adaptive radiations, because of the rapid amount of lineages that have arisen within a short natur…
Claviceps purpurea (ergot), an ascomycete and member of the family Clavicipitacea, is considered a pathogen of all grass species (family Poaecea) including economically important cereal crops which infects ovaries resulting in the development of a fungal sclerotium rather than a…
