摘要:Mutation rates vary across the tree of life by many orders of magnitude, with fewer mutations occurring each generation in species that reproduce quickly and maintain large effective population sizes. A compelling explanation is that large effective population sizes facilitate selection against weakly deleterious mutator alleles such as variants that modulate cell division or interfere with the molecular efficacy of DNA repair. However, while the fidelity of a single cell division largely dete...

摘要:Acute knockout of the rod photoreceptor transcription factor Nrl delays retinal degeneration in multiple mouse models of blindness, but the downstream transcriptomic changes that mediate these therapeutic effects are unknown. Here, we show that acute Nrl knockout causes upregulation of a subset of cone genes in rods as well as downregulation of rod genes, including the rod-specific transcriptional repressor Nr2e3. We hypothesized that Nr2e3 downregulation might mediate some of the therapeutic ...

摘要:Gradients of extracellular signals organize cells in tissues. Although there are several models for how gradients can pattern cell behavior, it is not clear how cells react to gradients when the population is undergoing 3D morphogenesis, in which cell-cell and cell-signal interactions are continually changing. Dictyostelium cells follow gradients of their nutritional source to feed and maintain their undifferentiated state. Using lightsheet imaging to simultaneously monitor signaling, single-c...

摘要:Nonenzymatic RNA copying is thought to have been responsible for the replication of genetic information during the origin of life. However, chemical copying with the and disfavors the incorporation of A and especially U because of the stronger G:C vs. A:U base pair and the weaker stacking interactions of U. Recent advances in prebiotic chemistry suggest that the 2- thiopyrimidines were precursors to the canonical pyrimidines, raising the possibility that they may have played an important early...

摘要:Global climate change has triggered an urgent need for predicting the reorganization of Earth's biodiversity. For dioecious species (those with separate sexes), it is unclear how commonly unique climate sensitivities of females and males could influence projections for species-level responses to climate change. We developed demographic models of range limitation, parameterized from geographically distributed common garden experiments, with females and males of a dioecious grass species (Poa ar...

摘要:Enhancing the reliability and reproducibility of optical microscopy by reducing specimen irradiance continues to be an important biotechnology target. As irradiance levels are reduced, however, the particle nature of light is heightened, giving rise to Poisson noise, or photon sparsity that restricts only a few (0.5%) image pixels to comprise a photon. Photon sparsity can be addressed by collecting approximately 200 photons per pixel; this, however, requires long acquisitions and, as such, sub...
