The Perceptual Experience Of Slope By Foot And By Finger [PDF]

, 2011
Historically, the bodily senses have often been regarded as impeccable sources of spatial information and as being the teacher of vision. Here, the authors report that the haptic perception of slope by means of the foot is greatly exaggerated.

The majority of transcripts in the squid nervous system are extensively recoded by A-to-I RNA editing

eLife, 2015
RNA editing by adenosine deamination alters genetic information from the genomic blueprint. When it recodes mRNAs, it gives organisms the option to express diverse, functionally distinct, protein isoforms.

Translation of Plant RNA Viruses

Viruses, 2021
Plant RNA viruses encode essential viral proteins that depend on the host translation machinery for their expression. However, genomic RNAs of most plant RNA viruses lack the classical characteristics of eukaryotic cellular mRNAs, such as mono-cistron, 5′

New insights into the biological role of mammalian ADARs; the RNA editing proteins [PDF]

, 2015
The ADAR proteins deaminate adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA which is one of the most abundant modifications present in mammalian RNA.

Differential adaptive RNA editing signals between insects and plants revealed by a new measurement termed haplotype diversity

Biology Direct, 2023
Background C-to-U RNA editing in plants is believed to confer its evolutionary adaptiveness by reversing unfavorable DNA mutations. This “restorative hypothesis” has not yet been tested genome-wide.

Do cladistic and morphometric data capture common patterns of morphological disparity? [PDF]

, 2015
The distinctly non-random diversity of organismal form manifests itself in discrete clusters of taxa that share a common body plan. As a result, analyses of disparity require a scalable comparative framework.

Anchoring vignettes can they make adolescent self-reports of social-emotional skills more reliable, discriminant, and criterion-valid? [PDF]

, 2016
Individuals differ in the way they use rating scales to describe themselves, and these differences are particularly pronounced in children and early adolescents. One promising remedy is to correct (or "anchor'') an individual's responses according to the

Conserved A-to-I RNA editing with non-conserved recoding expands the candidates of functional editing sites

Fly
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing recodes the genome and confers flexibility for the organisms to adapt to the environment. It is believed that RNA recoding sites are well suited for facilitating adaptive evolution by increasing the proteomic ...

Why Verbalization of Non-Verbal Memory Reduces Recognition Accuracy: A Computational Approach to Verbal Overshadowing. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Verbal overshadowing refers to a phenomenon whereby verbalization of non-verbal stimuli (e.g., facial features) during the maintenance phase (after the target information is no longer available from the sensory inputs) impairs subsequent non-verbal ...

The Porter stemming algorithm: then and now [PDF]

, 2006
Purpose: In 1980, Porter presented a simple algorithm for stemming English language words. This paper summarises the main features of the algorithm, and highlights its role not just in modern information retrieval research, but also in a range of ...
