Despite a recent increase in the attention given to improving end-of-life care, our understanding
of what constitutes a good death is surprisingly lacking. The purpose of this study was to …

Popular procedures to control the chance of making type I errors when multiple statistical tests
are performed come at a high cost: a reduction in power. As the number of tests increases, …

Background. The causes of persistent bacteremia (PB) due to methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are poorly understood. This investigation examined potential …

The presence of diffuse or primitive senile plaques in the neocortex of cognitively normal
elderly at autopsy has been presumed to represent normal aging. Alternatively, these patients …

Although human perception of food flavors involves integration of multiple sensory inputs,
the most salient sensations are taste and olfaction [1]. Ortho- and retronasal olfaction are …

Background RNA-seq is revolutionizing the way we study transcriptomes. mRNA can be
surveyed without prior knowledge of gene transcripts. Alternative splicing of transcript isoforms …

Grapevines exhibit a wide spectrum of resistance to the powdery mildew fungus (PM), Erysiphe
necator (Schw.) Burr., but little is known about the transcriptional basis of the defense to …

A combination of quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and microarray analysis was
developed and used to identify 34 candidate genes for ovariole number, a quantitative trait, in …

Many species are currently moving to higher latitudes and altitudes 1 , 2 , 3 . However, little
is known about the factors that influence the future performance of range-expanding species …

Sequence divergence scaled by variation within species has been used to infer the action of
selection upon individual genes. Applying this approach to expression, we compared whole…
