Delimitating Species Boundaries within the Liomys Pictus- Spectabilis Complex (Rodentia: Heteromyidae)
… the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b gene and two nuclear introns from engrailed protein (190 bp) and myosin heavy chain (254 bp) genes for approximately 712 individuals representing 82 localities across the range of L. pictus and L. spectabilis. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian …

In Vivo Studies of Yeast Mitochondrial Intron Splicing : Ectopic Branching and a Screen for Nuclear Encoded Splicing Factors
The splicing mechanism of group II introns is analogous to that of nuclear introns and it is generally thought that both share a common ancestor. This work contains two studies of group II intron splicing in yeast mitochondria. Previous studies done in collaboration with Dr. Anna Pyle at Yale …

The decline of Fowler's Toad (Bufo fowleri) in southern Louisiana: molecular genetics, field experiments and landscape studies
… study successfully demonstrated the use of nuclear and mitochondrial markers to identify cryptic hybrids and their maternal lineage. Three hybrids were detected using nuclear introns and a morphologically cryptic hybrid was identified using mitochondrial DNA as the progeny of a cross that …

Computational analyses of non-canonical architectural and structural features associated with alternative splicing
Splicing of nuclear introns is catalysed by the spliceosome, one of the most complex macromolecular machines currently known. Even though the canonical splicing signals that drive the precise recognition of splice sites are well-characterised, recent advances in transcriptome profiling technologies …

Evolution in Neotropical Herpetofauna: Species Boundaries in High Andean Frogs and Evolutionary Genetics in the Lava Lizard Genus Microlophus (Squamata: tropiduridae): A History of Colonization and Dispersal
… as a study system, and includes a large nuclear data set accompanied by an equally large mitochondrial data set (7877 characters in total). This paper explicitly differentiates among sequence alignments of gene regions that vary in tempo and class of mutational events. We show that this …
