There are 36 publications in all, as indexed in the <i>Web of Science</i>. Many publications are co-authored with current students and alumni (e.g., a <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ejn.15910">paper by Christopher Howard</a> lists 14 student/alumni co-authors).

These results suggest that both geological and climatic changes in the region around the Plio-Pleistocene promoted its origin, compared to other evolutionary processes... Despite being an edaphic endemic, <i>Lepidium subulatum</i> possesses high genetic diversity probably related to its relatively old age and high population sizes across its range. Our study highlights the value of using different markers to fully understand the phylogeographic history of plant species."<br /><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><br />Oberlin College Science Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17718633698139733159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22984764.post-49903845593387154632021-03-25T11:59:00.001-04:002021-03-25T12:01:45.376-04:00Co-authors He Ren '20, Jane Sedlak '19, and Matthew Elrod publish in Environmental Science and Technology<p> This latest article from alumni Ren and Sedlak, former research students in the Elrod lab, describes a method "that allows for the study of the reaction of sulfate radicals and several olefinic precursors." </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.0c05256" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="260" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DI_e3nikspo/YFyyRwiaBoI/AAAAAAAAeOA/lv7Oad2zaUInBjHcSu4SxiklWhrMonLmgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/ESTlogo.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="title" style="list-style: none; margin: 2px 22px 12px; padding: 0px;" xmlns:bean="http://ts.thomson.com/ua/bean" xmlns:set="http://exslt.org/sets" xmlns:ts="http://ts.thomson.com/framework/xml/transform">Ren, He; Sedlak, Jane A.; Elrod, Matthew J. 2021.

It proposes that the tripartite system of DNA, RNA, and proteins was preceded by one consisting solely of RNA, which both stored genetic information and performed the molecular functions encoded by that genetic information. Current research into a potential RNA World revolves around the catalytic properties of RNA-based enzymes, or ribozymes....Evidence from prebiotic geochemistry, ribozyme biochemistry, and evolutionary biology, increasingly supports these hypotheses. Certain coenzymes and cofactors may bridge modern biology with the past and can thus provide insights into the elusive and poorly-recorded period of the origin and early evolution of life.</div>Oberlin College Science Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17718633698139733159noreply@blogger.com0
