A FIELD EXPERIMENT ON THE REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS OF THE INVASIVE CLAM MYA ARENARIA (BIVALVIA) IN THE TAGUS ESTUARY: COEXISTENCE WITH THE NATIVE CLAM SCROBICULARIA PLANA

A field experiment on the reproductive success of the invasive clam Mya arenaria (Bivalvia) in the Tagus estuary: coexistence with the native clam Scrobicularia plana

A three month field experiment with tidal level (upper, middle, lower) and treatment (excavated and not excavated plots) as categorical experimental factors showed that the invasive clam Mya arenaria has reached a more advanced stage in the invasion process in the Tagus estuary.As we observed the smallest recruited Apigenin juveniles of Mya arenari

A data integration approach to mapping OCT4 gene regulatory networks operative in embryonic stem cells and embryonal carcinoma cells.

It is essential to understand the network of transcription factors controlling self-renewal of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and human embryonal carcinoma cells (ECs) if we are to exploit these cells in regenerative medicine regimes.Correlating gene expression levels after RNAi-based ablation of OCT4 function with its downstream targets enables
