Why Y chromosome is shorter and women live longer? [PDF]

Eur. Phys. J. B 65, 149-153 (2008), 2008
We have used the Penna ageing model to analyze how the differences in evolution of sex chromosomes depend on the strategy of reproduction. In panmictic populations, when females (XX) can freely choose the male partner (XY) for reproduction from the whole population, the Y chromosome accumulates defects and eventually the only information it brings is a

1p36 deletion syndrome: Review and mapping with further characterization of the phenotype, a new cohort of 86 patients

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 445-458, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome (1p36DS) is one of the most common terminal deletion syndromes (incidence between 1/5000 and 1/10,000 live births in the American population), due to a heterozygous deletion of part of the short arm of chromosome 1.

Excitatory and inhibitory interactions affect the balance of chorus activity and energy efficiency in the aggregation of male frogs: Theoretical study using a hybrid dynamical model [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
We theoretically study the role of excitatory and inhibitory interactions in the aggregations of male frogs. In most frogs, males produce sounds to attract conspecific females, which activates the calling behavior of other males and results in collective choruses.

How women organize social networks different from men [PDF]

Scientific Reports 3, 1214 (2013), 2012
Superpositions of social networks, such as communication, friendship, or trade networks, are called multiplex networks, forming the structural backbone of human societies. Novel datasets now allow quantification and exploration of multiplex networks. Here we study gender-specific differences of a multiplex network from a complete behavioral dataset of ...
