Ancestral-Character Evolution of Bioluminescence in Sixteen Major Lineages of Fishes.
, 2016 Bayesian ancestral-character-states reconstruction of bioluminescence across a distribution of 500 trees that resulted from the Bayesian inference of divergence times. Each rectangle includes 500 individual reconstructions across this distribution of 500

ProCARs: Progressive Reconstruction of Ancestral Gene Orders [PDF]
, 2014 International audienceBACKGROUND:In the context of ancestral gene order reconstruction from extant genomes, there exist two main computational approaches: rearrangement-based, and homology-based methods.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) comprises a group of rare genetic diseases characterized by length‐dependent axonal degeneration of the corticospinal tracts and dorsal columns, whose main clinical feature is spastic gait. Pathogenic variants in the SPG4 gene cause Spastic Paraplegia Type 4 (SPG4‐HSP), the most common form of HSP.

One origin for metallo-β-lactamase activity, or two? An investigation assessing a diverse set of reconstructed ancestral sequences based on a sample of phylogenetic trees [PDF]
, 2014 This work was supported by BBSRC (grant BB/F016778/1)Bacteria use metallo-β-lactamase enzymes to hydrolyse lactam rings found in many antibiotics, rendering them ineffective.

White Matter and Perivascular Imaging Changes in Alzheimer's Disease and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Peak‐width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) and diffusion tensor imaging–analysis along the perivascular space (DTI‐ALPS), reflecting white matter integrity and glymphatic function, are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

A Causality Perspective of Genomic Breed Composition for Composite Animals
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Genomic breed composition (GBC) of an individual animal refers to the partition of its genome according to the inheritance from its ancestors or ancestral breeds.

Changes in post-marital residence precede changes In descent systems in Austronesian societies [PDF]
, 2007 Descent systems express how a society organises kinship relationships. Inheritance of resources as well as rights and obligations can be traced patrilineally, matrilineally, a combination of both, or in a cognatic/bilateral fashion.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Inherited ataxias are clinically diverse neurodegenerative diseases, complicating the choice of outcome measures for trials. In spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), regulatory concerns about the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) caused a shift toward functional SARA (f‐SARA), contributing to pivotal trial failure.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Charge‐reversed lipid nanoparticles (revLNPs) enable efficient encapsulation and delivery of cationic Pt2L4 nanocages. Encapsulation preserves potent anticancer activity while improving circulation, reducing vascular leakage, and promoting favorable biodistribution in vivo.
