Predicting evolution in microbial communities is critical for problems from human health to
global nutrient cycling. Understanding how species interactions impact the distribution of …

Staphylococcus aureus is associated with the development of persistent and severe inflammatory
diseases of the upper airways. Yet, S. aureus is also carried asymptomatically in the …

The spindle midzone harbors both microtubules and proteins necessary for furrow formation
and the completion of cytokinesis. However, the mechanisms that mediate the temporal and …

Organic acids (short chain fatty acids, amino acids, etc.) are common metabolic byproducts
of commensal bacteria of the gut and oral cavity in addition to microbiota associated with …

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a rapidly increasing threat to human health. New strategies
to combat resistant organisms are desperately needed. One potential avenue is targeting …

We report the draft genome sequence of Scheffersomyces spartinae ARV011, which was
isolated from the Great Sippewissett Marsh in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Sequencing was …

RNA regulation plays a critical role in mitosis, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. Our lab
recently identified that the conserved RNA-Binding Protein (RBP), ATX-2, regulates …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by impaired mucociliary clearance, leading to mucus
accumulation and chronic bacterial respiratory infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a …

Motivated by notions from coding theory, we study the generalized minimum distance (GMD)
function δ I ( d , r ) of a graded ideal I in a polynomial ring over an arbitrary field using …

The aims of this work are to study Rees algebras of filtrations of monomial ideals associated
with covering polyhedra of rational matrices with nonnegative entries and nonzero columns …
