  1. Outer Reaches of the Palindrome

    McConnell, Michael ConstantineUniversity of North Texas2003

    This work is an exploration into the palindrome, both as a literary form and an expression of infinity. The first two chapters address the fascinating manner in which the mind contextualizes fragments of speech and ludicrous grammatical implications that are spawned by the poetic structure of the …

  2. Mechanisms of Palindrome-Mediated Chromosomal Instability

    Costa, Alex B.Georgia Institute of Technology2024

    Palindromes are highly unstable DNA sequences that induce chromosomal rearrangements and underlie cancer and hereditary diseases such as Emanuel Syndrome. Despite being a significant source of genomic instability, the mechanisms governing palindrome fragility in eukaryotic cells are not fully …

  3. "The way of the world is to bloom and flower and die": the palindrome of knowing in Cormac McCarthy's The Road

    Clark, Joseph2011

    Meaning has been the topic of much commentary on Cormac McCarthy’s work. Critics posit an array of conclusions about meaning in his corpus, ranging from its impossibility to its excess. Much work concludes that if meaning exists, it is generated from an interplay between the natural world that …

  5. Palindromes on the human X chromosome : testis-biased transcription, gene conversion and evolution

    Saionz, Jennifer R., 1976-Massachusetts Institute of Technology2005

    … Y chromosome revealed massive, testis-specific palindromes that span 30% of the chromosome and are subject to gene conversion. We conducted studies to determine whether similar palindromes exist on the human X chromosome and, if they exist, to what degree they share the features of the Y …
