Genomic Signatures of Climate-Driven (Mal)Adaptation in an Iconic Conifer, the English Yew (<i>Taxus baccata</i> L.). [PDF]

open access: yesEvol Appl
ABSTRACT The risk of climate maladaptation is increasing for numerous species, including trees. Developing robust methods to assess population maladaptation remains a critical challenge. Genomic offset approaches aim to predict climate maladaptation by characterizing the genomic changes required for populations to maintain their fitness under changing ...

Statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions: large-scale EEG influences on molecular processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recent calculations further supports the premise that large-scale synchronous firings of neurons may affect molecular processes. The context is scalp electroencephalography (EEG) during short-term memory (STM) tasks. The mechanism considered is $\mathbf{\

Are Hand Preference and Sexual Orientation Possible Predicting Factors for Finasteride Adverse Effects in Male Androgenic Alopecia? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sexual side effects of finasteride seem to be redoubtable, being encountered not only during therapy but also after treatment cessation. Consequently, any possible clinical/paraclinical elements that might predict these adverse effects would be useful in
