Description
This project generated and utilised genomic resources, to understand the evolution of genes involved in immune response and whole animal regeneration. Overall, this thesis revealed that specific utilisation of different gene sets after catastrophic injury can contribute to why some animals can regenerate extremely rapidly and efficiently and why others cannot. Further, the experimental results demonstrated how both old and new genes are precisely regulated in immune and regeneration responses once they are recruited into these complex processes.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
