The dynamic intein landscape of eukaryotes

Abstract Background Inteins are mobile, self-splicing sequences that interrupt proteins and occur across all three domains of life.Scrutiny of the intein landscape in prokaryotes led to the hypothesis that some inteins are functionally important.Our focus shifts to eukaryotic inteins to assess their diversity, distribution, and dissemination, with

Gender Perception From Gait: A Comparison Between Biological, Biomimetic and Non-biomimetic Learning Paradigms

This paper explores in parallel the underlying mechanisms in human perception of biological motion and the best approaches for automatic classification of gait.The TRESS experiments tested three different learning paradigms, namely, biological, biomimetic, and non-biomimetic models for gender identification from human gait.Psychophysical experiment

Differential Response of Coral Assemblages to Thermal Stress Underscores the Complexity in Predicting Bleaching Susceptibility.

Coral bleaching events have been predicted to occur more frequently in the coming decades with global warming.The susceptibility of corals to bleaching during thermal stress episodes is dependent on many factors and an understanding of these underlying drivers is crucial for conservation management.In 2013, a mild bleaching episode ensued in respon
