• Meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA : elucidation of a new gene silencing pathway 

    Alexander, William (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
    Meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA is an RNAi-mediated pathway that functions to silence unpaired genes during the sexual phase of Neurospora crassa. The presence of a gene insertion or deletion causes an unpairing event ...
  • Molecular dissection of a genome defense pathway in Neurospora crassa 

    Boone, Erin C. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA (MSUD) is an RNA interference (RNAi) pathway in Neurospora crassa that detects genes without a homologous partner and ...
  • Molecular dissection of meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA 

    Decker, Logan M. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA (MSUD) is a genome surveillance mechanism that uses RNAi to protect against genetic parasites such as retrotransposons ...
  • Molecular dissection of the spore killer elements in Neurospora 

    Rehard, David G., 1987- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
    The role of selfish genetic elements in shaping the evolution of genomes (and subsequently species) has been a great subject of scientific interest for much of the last century. These selfish elements act at both the genetic ...
