From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Modeling Progressive Brain Volume Losses in Chronic Moderate Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Extensive, but Attenuating

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Progressive brain atrophy has now been widely observed in the chronic stages of moderate–severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI), but there is only coarse information regarding its prevalence and magnitude, and whether rate of atrophy accelerates or attenuates across time. We examined these questions in a Canadian inception cohort from
