Harnessing mutagenic homologous recombination for in vivo targeted mutagenesis by TaGTEAM
A major hurdle to evolutionary engineering approaches for multigenic phenotypes is the ability to simultaneously modify multiple genes rapidly and selectively. Here, we describe a method for in vivo targeted mutagenesis in yeast, TArgeting Glycosylases To Embedded Arrays for Mutagenesis (TaGTEAM). …

Connections between individual dispersal behavior and the multi-scale distribution of a saproxylic beetle
Species incidence results from a complex interaction among species traits (e.g., mobility and behavior), intra- and inter-specific interactions, quality and configuration of the landscape, and historical events. Determining which factors are most important to incidence is difficult because the …

Evolution and phenotypic diversification in serratia marcescens biofilms
The release of cells from a biofilm to the surrounding environment is poorly understood and the importance of this stage of biofilm development has only recently been realized. A key part of this process is the generation of phenotypic variants in the biofilm dispersal population. This thesis …
