Deep learning describes a class of machine learning algorithms that are capable of combining
raw inputs into layers of intermediate features. These algorithms have recently shown …

Almost all organisms live in environments that have been altered, to some degree, by
human activities. Because behaviour mediates interactions between an individual and its …

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder of complex etiology in which genetic factors play a
major role. We have implicated the neurexin 1 (NRXN1) gene in two independent subjects …

Mutations in the connexin 26 (Cx26) gene (GJB2) are associated with the type of autosomal
recessive nonsyndromic neurosensory deafness known as "DFNB1." Studies indicate that …

Balanced chromosomal abnormalities (BCAs) represent a relatively untapped reservoir of
single-gene disruptions in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). We sequenced BCAs in …

Structurally intact tropical forests sequestered about half of the global terrestrial carbon
uptake over the 1990s and early 2000s, removing about 15 per cent of anthropogenic carbon …

Cationic lipid-mediated gene transfer of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
(CFTR) cDNA represents a promising approach for treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF). Here, …

One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth.
However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties …
