A transcript perspective on evolution

Bernard Moret, Yann Christinat

Alternative splicing is now recognized as a major mechanism for transcriptome and proteome diversity in higher eukaryotes, yet its evolution is poorly understood. Most studies focus on the evolution of exons and introns at the gene level, while only few co ...

Sparse Approximation Using M-Term Pursuit and Application in Image and Video Coding

Pascal Frossard, Pierre Vandergheynst, Adel Rahmoune

This paper introduces a novel algorithm for sparse approximation in redundant dictionaries called the M-term pursuit (MTP). This algorithm decomposes a signal into a linear combination of atoms that are selected in order to represent the main signal compon ...

Characterizing the Influence of Effective Population Size on the Rate of Adaptation: Gillespie's Darwin Domain

Jeffrey David Jensen

Characterizing the role of effective population size in dictating the rate of adaptive evolution remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Depending on the underlying distribution of fitness effects of new mutations, populations of different sizes ...

Innate immunity against retroviral pathogens: from an ambiguous genetic self to novel therapeutic approaches

Didier Trono

Almost half of the human genome is derived from exogenous genetic invaders, most of them related to retroviruses. This is the consequence of longstanding interactions between retroelements and higher organisms, governed by a delicate equilibrium between vi ...

The evolution of communication in robot societies

Sara Mitri

Communication is fundamental to life on earth. All social organisms, from bacteria to humans, use communicative signals to coordinate their behaviors with members of their own and other species. Despite its key role in social organization, many questions r ...

Toll-like receptors--taking an evolutionary approach

Bruno Lemaitre

The Toll receptor was initially identified in Drosophila melanogaster for its role in embryonic development. Subsequently, D. melanogaster Toll and mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been recognized as key regulators of immune responses. After ten y ...

Hardware/Software Coevolution of Genome Programs and Cellular Processors

Guillaume Zufferey, Pierre-André Mudry

The application of evolutionary techniques to the design of custom processing elements bears a strong relation to the natural process that led to the co-evolution of cells and genomes in biological organisms. As such, it is an interesting avenue for an eff ...
