THE GENETIC BASIS UNDERPINNING SEXUALLY SELECTED TRAITS ACROSS DIFFERENT ANIMAL LINEAGES: ARE THERE GENETIC MECHANISMS IN COMMON?

The Genetic Basis Underpinning Sexually Selected Traits across Different Animal Lineages: Are There Genetic Mechanisms in Common?

Sexual selection involving female choice or female preference (‘inter-sexual’ selection) and/or male–male competition (‘intra-sexual’ selection) is one of the key mechanisms for evolutionary diversification and speciation.In particular, sexual selection is recently suggested to be an important mode to drive the evolution of the “novel�

A Tractable Logic for Molecular Biology

We introduce a logic Cordless Phone for knowledge representation and reasoning on protein-protein interactions.Modulo a theory, formulas describe protein structures and dynamic changes.They can be composed in order to add or remove static and dynamic observations.A second-order circumscription operator then enables nonmonotonic reasoning on the cha

Implementation of Management Type Switch Based on SMI

The paper proposed a design scheme of management type switch which is configured by Shank bit embedded micro-controller LPC2368 through SMI.Taking RTL8306E switch as example, it introduced design of hardware and software of interface circuit Table Set of RTL8306E and LPC2368 in details.The industrial test result showed that the switch realizes vari

Piscirickettsia salmonis Imbalances the Innate Immune Response to Succeed in a Productive Infection in a Salmonid Cell Line Model.

Piscirickettsia salmonis is a facultative intracellular bacterium that causes the disease called "salmon rickettsial syndrome".Attempts to control this disease have been unsuccessful, because existing vaccines have not achieved the expected effectiveness and the antibiotics used fail to completely eradicate the pathogen.This is in part the product
