The Evolutionary Biology of Musical Rhythm: Was Darwin Wrong?

PLoS Biology, 2014
Are other species able to process basic musical rhythm in the same way that humans do? Darwin supported this intuitive idea, but it is being challenged by new cross-species research.

Highly multiplexed digital PCR assay for simultaneous quantification of variant allele frequencies and copy number alterations of KRAS and GNAS in pancreatic cancer precursors

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining melting curve analysis enhances the multiplexing capability of digital PCR. Here, we developed a 14‐plex assay to simultaneously measure single nucleotide mutations and amplifications of KRAS and GNAS, which are common driver genes in pancreatic cancer precursors. This assay accurately quantified variant allele frequencies in clinical samples

A large‐scale retrospective study in metastatic breast cancer patients using circulating tumour DNA and machine learning to predict treatment outcome and progression‐free survival

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
There is an unmet need in metastatic breast cancer patients to monitor therapy response in real time. In this study, we show how a noninvasive and affordable strategy based on sequencing of plasma samples with longitudinal tracking of tumour fraction paired with a statistical model provides valuable information on treatment response in advance of the ...

Regional development: contribution of evolutionary biology [PDF]

This paper tries to set out a potential of application of some evolutionary biology concepts to the issue of regional development. The objective is to show that employment of these concepts or at least inspiration by them may enrich some theories of ...

Neo-Aristotelian Naturalism and the Evolutionary Objection: Rethinking the Relevance of Empirical Science [PDF]

, 2018
Neo-Aristotelian metaethical naturalism is a modern attempt at naturalizing ethics using ideas from Aristotle’s teleological metaphysics. Proponents of this view argue that moral virtue in human beings is an instance of natural goodness, a kind of ...

Ernst Mayr and Evolutionary Biology [PDF]

Evolution, 1994
It is possible to feel such communion with the works of our scientific predecessors as to inspire not only admiration, but also gratitude and even affection. Long before I met him, Ernst Mayr had profoundly affected my development, for probably the most influential event of my graduate education had been a year-long, line-by-line exegesis, in a ...
