How and where to look for tRNAs in Metazoan mitochondrial genomes, and what you might find when you get there [PDF]
The ability to locate and annotate mitochondrial genes is an important practical issue, given the rapidly increasing number of mitogenomes appearing in the public databases. Unfortunately, tRNA genes in Metazoan mitochondria have proved to be problematic because they often vary in number (genes missing or duplicated) and also in the secondary structure

Analysis of whole mitogenomes from ancient samples [PDF]
Ancient mitochondrial DNA has been used in a wide variety of palaeontological and archaeological studies, ranging from population dynamics of extinct species to patterns of domestication. Most of these studies have traditionally been based on the analysis of short fragments from the mitochondrial control region, analysed using PCR coupled with Sanger ...

Volatility jumps and the classification of monetary policy announcements [PDF]
Central Banks interventions are frequent in response to exogenous events with direct implications on financial market volatility. In this paper, we introduce the Asymmetric Jump Multiplicative Error Model (AJM), which accounts for a specific jump component of volatility within an intradaily framework. Taking the Federal Reserve (Fed) as a reference, we

The complete mitochondrial genome of Axis porcinus (Mammalia: Cervidae) from Victoria, Australia, using MiSeq sequencing [PDF]
The mitochondrial genome of the hog deer (Axis porcinus) was sequenced using an Illumina MiSeq. The assembled genome consists of 16,351 bp, and shared a 99.8% similarity to the published chital deer (Axis axis) genome, suggesting that they belong to the ...

Policy Expectation Counts? The Impact of China's Delayed Retirement Announcement on Urban Households Savings Rates [PDF]
This article examines the impact of China's delayed retirement announcement on households' savings behavior using data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). The article finds that treated households, on average, experience an 8% increase in savings rates as a result of the policy announcement. This estimation is both significant and robust. Different
