Perspectives on ultra-high vacuum transmission electron microscopy of dynamic crystal growth phenomena by Reidy, Kate, Thomsen, Joachim Dahl, Ross, Frances M.

“…We then show examples of growth processes explored using UHV-TEM, where the high spatial and temporal resolution provides unique insights into nanocrystal nucleation, thin film microstructure evolution, and oxidation in controlled environments. We assess these past accomplishments in the context of recent advances in transmission electron microscopy, discussing how aberration correction, modified sample environments, fast and sensitive detectors, and data science are unlocking powerful opportunities for atomic and temporal resolution measurements using UHV-TEM. …”

Genes implicated in the storage and the production of energy : bioinformatics approach and application in coral reefs in Singapore. by Seow, Wan Yi.

“…A bioinformatics approach was used to study ATP synthase subunit beta and malonyl-CoA-acyl carrier protein transacylase (MCAT), genes implicated in the storage and production of energy. 55 MCAT and 77 ATP synthase subunit beta protein and nucleotide sequences from marine clades were retrieved from the NCBI database using BLAST. Sequences were aligned using ClustalW2 and primers specific to corals and zooxanthellae were designed. …”
