Sexual selection shapes development and maturation rates in Drosophila

Explanations for the evolution of delayed maturity usually invoke trade-offs mediated by growth, but processes of reproductive maturation continue long after growth has ceased. Here, we tested whether sexual selection shapes the rate of posteclosion matura ...

A WebGIS platform for the monitoring of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (GENMON)

Stéphane Joost, Giona Matasci, Ivo Widmer

Background In 2007, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) initiated the Global plan of action for Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR). The main goal of this plan is to reduce further loss of genetic diversity in farm animals, ...

The Demographic and Adaptive History of the African Green Monkey

Susanne Petra Pfeifer

Relatively little is known about the evolutionary history of the African green monkey (genus Chlorocebus) due to the lack of sampled polymorphism data fromwild populations. Yet, this characterization of genetic diversity is not only critical for a better u ...

Approximate Steepest Coordinate Descent

Martin Jaggi, Sebastian Urban Stich, Anant Raj

We propose a new selection rule for the coordinate selection in coordinate descent methods for huge-scale optimization. The efficiency of this novel scheme is provably better than the efficiency of uniformly random selection, and can reach the efficiency o ...

Estimating the Respective Contributions of Human and Viral Genetic Variation to HIV Control

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha

We evaluated the fraction of variation in HIV-1 set point viral load attributable to viral or human genetic factors by using joint host/pathogen genetic data from 541 HIV infected individuals. We show that viral genetic diversity explains 29% of the variat ...

Variant selection in surface martensite

Roland Logé, Cyril Cayron, Annick Pauline Baur

A significant variant selection is reported in isothermal martensite formed on the surface of an Fe-30% Ni sample. The selection phenomenon is modelled using different descriptions of the martensitic phase transformation. In particular, matrices based on t ...

Detecting and Quantifying Changing Selection Intensities from Time-Sampled Polymorphism Data

Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Sebastian Matuszewski, Stefan Jean Laurent, Hyunjin Shim

During his well-known debate with Fisher regarding the phenotypic dataset of Panaxia dominula, Wright suggested fluctuating selection as a potential explanation for the observed change in allele frequencies. This model has since been invoked in a number of ...

Dinuclear arene ruthenium thiolato complexes with fluorous side-chains

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel

Four complexes of the general formula (eta(6)-p-MeC6H4Pri)(2)Ru-2(mu-SC2H4R)(3), R = (CF2)(7)CF3 (1), (CF2)(5)CF3 (2), (CF2)(3)CF3 (3) and (CH2)(5)CH3 (4) were synthesized and characterized. The molecular structures of complexes 1 and 3 were confirmed ...
