Shining Light on the Dark Side of the Genome
Cells, 2022 Heterochromatin has historically been considered the dark side of the genome. In part, this reputation derives from its concentration near centromeres and telomeres, regions of the genome repressive to nuclear functions such as DNA replication and ...

The Role of Canalization and Plasticity in the Evolution of Musical Creativity
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Creativity is defined as the ability to generate something new and valuable. From a biological point of view this can be seen as an adaptation in response to environmental challenges.

Pseudocanalization regime for magnetic dark-field hyperlens [PDF]
, 2017 Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) are the cornerstone of the hyperlens, which brings the superresolution effect from the near-field to the far-field zone.

Redundancy, Feedback, and Robustness in the Arabidopsis thaliana BZR/BEH Gene Family
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Organismal development is remarkably robust, tolerating stochastic errors to produce consistent, so-called canalized adult phenotypes. The mechanistic underpinnings of developmental robustness are poorly understood, but recent studies implicate certain ...

Growth Regulation in the Larvae of the Lepidopteran Pieris brassicae: A Field Study
Insects, 2023 Size and shape are important determinants of fitness in most living beings. Accordingly, the capacity of the organism to regulate size and shape during growth, containing the effects of developmental disturbances of different origin, is considered a key ...

Transgenerational Plasticity and Bet-Hedging: A Framework for Reaction Norm Evolution
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Decision-making under uncertain conditions favors bet-hedging (avoidance of fitness variance), whereas predictable environments favor phenotypic plasticity.

Spatially dispersive finite-difference time-domain analysis of sub-wavelength imaging by the wire medium slabs [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper, a spatially dispersive finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method to model wire media is developed and validated. Sub-wavelength imaging properties of the finite wire medium slabs are examined.
