An Improved Real--Space Genetic Algorithm for Crystal Structure and Polymorph Prediction [PDF]

Physical Review B 77, 134117 2008, 2008
Existing Genetic Algorithms for crystal structure and polymorph prediction can suffer from stagnation during evolution, with a consequent loss of efficiency and accuracy. An improved Genetic Algorithm (GA) is introduced herein which penalizes similar structures and so enhances structural diversity in the population at each generation.

Copper stress induces the differential expression of microRNAs in non-heading Chinese cabbage

Biologia Plantarum, 2014
To gain a deep understanding of the regulatory mechanism of Cu-responsive microRNAs (miRNAs) in non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis Makino), the transcription of 10 annotated stress-inducible miRNAs and their target genes were

Advancing Drug Resistance Research Through Quantitative Modeling and Synthetic Biology [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 8: 583415 (2020), 2020
Antimicrobial resistance is an emerging global health crisis that is undermining advances in modern medicine and, if unmitigated, threatens to kill 10 million people per year worldwide by 2050. Research over the last decade has demonstrated that the differences between genetically identical cells in the same environment can lead to drug resistance ...

Reflections on the ethics of genetic enhancement [PDF]

Genetics in Medicine, 2002
The technologies made available by new research in genetics and genomics have been and will be used not only to diagnose and treat disease, but also to attempt to enhance human traits and capacities. A broad definition of genetic-enhancement technologies, not merely gene manipulation, but also indirect genetic technologies, such as biosynthetic drugs ...

Genome-wide characterization and evolutionary analysis of heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) to reveal their potential role under abiotic stresses in radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Abiotic stresses due to climate change pose a great threat to crop production. Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) are vital regulators that play key roles in protecting plants against various abiotic stresses.

The Developmental Mechanism of the Root System of Cultivated Terrestrial Watercress

Plants, 2023
A well-developed root system is crucial for the rapid growth, asexual reproduction, and adaptation to the drought environments of the watercress. After analyzing the transcriptome of the watercress root system, we found that a high concentration of auxin

Deep Visual-Genetic Biometrics for Taxonomic Classification of Rare Species [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Visual as well as genetic biometrics are routinely employed to identify species and individuals in biological applications. However, no attempts have been made in this domain to computationally enhance visual classification of rare classes with little image data via genetics.
