Reverse genetic analysis of centrosomal roles of Checkpoint Kinase 1
(NUI Galway, 2019-06-14)
Centrosome duplication is tightly regulated process that occurs only once per cell cycle. Centrosome abnormalities have been observed in cancer cells and in cells with defective DNA damage responses. Genotoxic stresses ...
Promoting the evolution of cooperation in social dilemma games using contingent mobility strategies
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-05)
Researchers in many domains use social dilemmas to explore the conditions necessary for cooperation to emerge among groups. Social dilemmas, and in particular the Prisoner’s Dilemma, are used because of their usefulness ...
