  1. 1. What modulates telomere dynamics? : Inheritance, developmental effects, and physiological challenges

    Författare :Ye Xiong; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Telomere; Telomere dynamics; Telomere length; telomere inheritance; Zebra finch; Immune challenge; Heritability; Taenopygia guttata; Physiological parameter;

    Sammanfattning : Telomeres are the conservative sequence repeats located at the end of linear chromosomes that have been the focus of intensive research across many disciplines over the last four decades. They function as a cap to protect the chromosome ends from fusion to other chromosomes and to prevent chromosome degradation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Costs and benefits of immune system activation on physiology, behavior and offspring phenotype from an immunoecological perspective
