Mitochondrial Pseudogenes Suggest Repeated Inter-Species Hybridization among Direct Human Ancestors

Konstantin Popadin

The hypothesis that the evolution of humans involves hybridization between diverged species has been actively debated in recent years. We present the following novel evidence in support of this hypothesis: the analysis of nuclear pseudogenes of mtDNA ("NUM ...

Ultrafast photoinduced energy and charge transfer

Majed Chergui

After presenting the basic theoretical models of excitation energy transfer and charge transfer, I describe some of the novel experimental methods used to probe them. Finally, I discuss recent results concerning ultrafast energy and charge transfer in biol ...

The Demographic History of African Drosophila melanogaster

Jeffrey David Jensen, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Stefan Jean Laurent, Susanne Petra Pfeifer

As one of the most commonly utilized organisms in the study of local adaptation, an accurate characterization of the demographic history of Drosophila melanogaster remains as an important research question. This owes both to the inherent interest in charac ...

The Limits to Parapatric Speciation: Dobzhansky-Muller Incompatibilities in a Continent-Island Model

Claudia Bank

How much gene flow is needed to inhibit speciation by the accumulation of Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities (DMIs) in a structured population? Here, we derive these limits in a classical migration-selection model with two haploid or diploid loci and unid ...

Supervoxel-Based Segmentation of Mitochondria in EM Image Stacks with Learned Shape Features

Pascal Fua, Graham Knott, Radhakrishna Achanta, Kevin Smith, Aurélien Lucchi

It is becoming increasingly clear that mitochondria play an important role in neural function. Recent studies show mitochondrial morphology to be crucial to cellular physiology and synaptic function and a link between mitochondrial defects and neuro-degene ...

Wall-bounded turbulent flows at high Reynolds numbers: Recent advances and key issues

Peter Monkewitz

Wall-bounded turbulent flows at high Reynolds numbers have become an increasingly active area of research in recent years. Many challenges remain in theory, scaling, physical understanding, experimental techniques, and numerical simulations. In this paper ...

Have we underestimated the importance of humans in the biogeography of free-living terrestrial microorganisms?

The role of humans in the global dispersal of free-living terrestrial microorganisms has received surprisingly little attention in the literature, compared with the frequent discussions of human dispersal for aquatic microbes. Here I argue that this area n ...

Electromechanics on the Nanometer Scale: Emerging Phenomena, Devices, and Applications

Nava Setter

Coupling between electrical and mechanical phenomena is ubiquitous in nature and underpins the functionality of materials and systems as diversified as ferroelectrics and multiferroics to electroactive molecules to biological systems. Recent years have wit ...

Bacterial strategies to overcome insect defences

Bruno Lemaitre

Recent genetic and molecular analyses have revealed how several strategies enable bacteria to persist and overcome insect immune defences. Genetic and genomic tools that can be used with Drosophila melanogaster have enabled the characterization of the path ...
