Industrial Biotechnology Conservation Processes: Similarities with Natural Long-Term Preservation of Biological Organisms
Corinne Scaletta, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Alexis Laurent
Cryopreservation and lyophilization processes are widely used for conservation purposes in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and food industries or in medical transplantation. Such processes deal with extremely low temperatures (e.g., -196 degrees C) a ...
MDPI2023On the Double Descent of Random Features Models Trained with SGD
We study generalization properties of random features (RF) regression in high dimensions optimized by stochastic gradient descent (SGD) in under-/overparameterized regime. In this work, we derive precise non-asymptotic error bounds of RF regression under b ...
2022Population structure and signals of local adaptation in Eugenia uniflora (Myrtaceae), a widely distributed species in the Atlantic Forest
Evolutionary diversity in species can arise in many ways, including local adaptation. Despite the global importance of tropical forest ecosystems, few studies have explored patterns of local adaptation in tropical tree species. We investigated population g ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Phenotypic plasticity versus ecotypic differentiation under recurrent summer drought in two drought-tolerant pine species
Despite worldwide reports of high tree mortality, growing evidence indicates that many tree species are well adapted to survive repeated dry spells. The drought resilience of trees is related to their phenotypic plasticity and ecotypic differentiation. Whe ...
WILEY2021Phase transformation induced distortions in red gold alloys
Margaux Nathalie Dominique Larcher
Red gold alloys owe their warm and attractive colour to the combination of gold and copper atoms. Thanks to their good mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion, red gold alloys are used in luxury industries as well as in dentistry. Around the equi ...
EPFL2021Genomic Analysis of European Drosophila melanogaster Populations Reveals Longitudinal Structure, Continent-Wide Selection, and Previously Unknown DNA Viruses
Genetic variation is the fuel of evolution, with standing genetic variation especially important for short-term evolution and local adaptation. To date, studies of spatiotemporal patterns of genetic variation in natural populations have been challenging, a ...
2020Linking micro and macroevolution in the presence of migration
Sophie Myriam Hautphenne, Laurent Lehmann, Nicolas Salamin
Understanding macroevolutionary patterns is central to evolutionary biology. This involves the process of divergence within a species, which starts at the microevolutionary level, for instance, when two sub populations evolve towards different phenotypic o ...
ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2020Global radiation in a rare biosphere soil diatom
Soil micro-organisms drive the global carbon and nutrient cycles that underlie essential ecosystem functions. Yet, we are only beginning to grasp the drivers of terrestrial microbial diversity and biogeography, which presents a substantial barrier to under ...
