BACKGROUND: Impaired signaling in the IFN-γ/IL-12 pathway causes susceptibility to
severe disseminated infections with mycobacteria and dimorphic yeasts. Dominant gain-of-…

Mitochondria originated endosymbiotically from an Alphaproteobacteria-like ancestor. However,
it is still uncertain which extant group of Alphaproteobacteria is phylogenetically closer …

Methods We used a dataset of eight proteins found in mitochondria (N= 6 organisms) and
bacteria (N= 80 organisms). The sequences were aligned and resulting identity matrices were …

The study of gene family evolution has benefited from the use of phylogenetic tools, which
can greatly inform studies of both relationships within gene families and functional divergence…

Novel discoveries in medicine have provided understanding of the mechanisms involved in
the development and maintenance of pathologies, thereby leading to the identification of …

This paper describes a virtual instrumentation architecture to measure and monitor partial
discharges (PD) in high voltage equipment. The system has been successfully applied in the …

Complex networks have been successfully applied to the characterization and modeling of
complex systems in several distinct areas of Biological Sciences. Nevertheless, their …

The number of plant species with genomic and transcriptomic data has been increasing
rapidly. The grasses—Poaceae—have been well represented among species with published …

We report the first detection of the gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background
through a measurement of the four-point correlation function in the temperature maps made …

For the first time, measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB)
alone favor cosmologies with w=− 1 dark energy over models without dark energy at a 3.2-sigma …
