Molecular determinants of chromatin accessibility at CpG islands in mouse embryonic stem cells by King, H

“…To examine potential mechanisms by which hypomethylated DNA could serve to promote chromatin accessibility, I profiled chromatin accessibility in mouse ESCs lacking various chromatin-modifying proteins which are normally enriched at CGIs, with the histone demethylases KDM2A/B linked to maintaining open chromatin at CGIs. As an alternative approach to understanding the causes of chromatin accessibility in mouse ESCs, I examined the mechanism by which the pioneer transcription factor OCT4 is able to access previously inaccessible chromatin, and reveal that it requires the chromatin remodeller BRG1 to remodel chromatin and facilitate transcription factor binding at distal regulatory elements. …”

Estimating global demand for land-based transportation services using the shared socioeconomic pathways scenario framework by Nkiriki, J, Jaramillo, P, Williams, N, Davis, A, Armanios, DE

A critical analysis of current debates in natural law: a theo-cultural engagement with John Finnis, Jean Porter, & John Milbank by Morgan, G

“…The contribution of this thesis is borne out of a two-fold realisation: (1) that despite renewed levels of inter-disciplinary interest within the academy, the discourse has become increasingly fragmented and will continue to fragment in the absence of a critical analysis of the deeper theo-cultural assumptions and aporias that animate current debates in natural law; (2) that by illuminating and attending to the theological and methodological “unsaid(s)” that have, heretofore, been seldom acknowledged, one can begin to appreciate how the fragmentation of the discourse is inexorably linked to the fragmentation of the secular mythos. …”
