Evolution of Two Genomes Impact of Sequence Divergence on Mitochondrial Function
Meeting Abstract 48.5 Saturday, Jan. 5 Evolution of Two Genomes: Impact of Sequence Divergence on Mitochondrial Function BARIS, T.Z.*; OLEKSIAK, M.F.; CRAWFORD, D.L.; University of Miami/Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science tbaris@rsmas.miami.edu We are investigating the divergence in oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) metabolism among populations of Fundulus heteroclitus. The OxPhos pathway occurs in mitochondria and uses oxygen […]
Using functional genomics to characterize the physiological response of polar fishes to a multi-stressor scenario
Meeting Abstract 47.4 Saturday, Jan. 5 Using functional genomics to characterize the physiological response of polar fishes to a multi-stressor scenario PLACE, S.P.; Univ. South Carolina places@mailbox.sc.edu Antarctic fishes of the suborder Notothenioidei have displayed incredibly narrow physiological limits in previous single stressor studies and may be particularly vulnerable to the impacts of global climate change. Given […]
