Genomic analysis of genotype-dependent responses of marine larvae to temperature change
Meeting Abstract 18.3 Sunday, Jan. 4 Genomic analysis of genotype-dependent responses of marine larvae to temperature change CUROLE, J.P; MANAHAN, D.T.**; Univ. of Southern California manahan@usc.edu Wide variation in the response to temperature change is a common phenomenon in many species. The focus of this study was to (i) determine if there is a genetic component to […]
Genome size of bacteria in a variable endosymbiotic environment
Meeting Abstract 18.1 Sunday, Jan. 4 Genome size of bacteria in a variable endosymbiotic environment ESTES, Anne M.*; PIERSON, Elizabeth A.; University of Arizona; University of Arizona amestes@u.arizona.edu A strong correlation exists between the degree of environmental variability and genome size in prokaryotes. Free-living bacteria such as Escherichia coli must survive periods of desiccation, starvation, UV damage […]
