The developed statistical method paves the way for next generation demographic and selection inference by combining information from several heritable genomic and epigenomic markers.

This valuable work analyzes how specialized cells in the auditory cells, known as the octopus cells, can detect coincidences in their inputs at the submillisecond time scale. While previous work ...

In summary, these BLI data demonstrate that B. subtilis MinD is capable of binding membrane in both monomeric and dimeric form, while the presence of ATP in the binding pocket appears to affect both ...

However, the cellular mechanisms by which MC4R regulates reproduction are unknown. Kiss1 neurons directly stimulate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release through two distinct populations; the ...

During rest and sleep, sequential neural activation patterns corresponding to awake experience re-emerge, and this replay has been shown to benefit subsequent behavior and memory. Whereas some studies ...

Nearly a thousand diverse adaptive mutants converge into a handful of groups for which fitness responds the same way to ...

What do authors think about publishing in eLife’s model? We spoke with Patrick Allard to find out about his experience.

Three senior figures at the US National Institutes of Health explain why the agency remains committed to supporting basic science and research.

The vast majority of bacteria live in sessile biofilms that colonize the channels, pores and crevices of confined structures. Flow in these structures carries the nutrients necessary for growth, but ...

Together, the findings suggested that 17α-estradiol extensively reshaped the cell populations, cellular communication, neuropeptide secretion, and neural synapse activity in aged hypothalamus, which ...

The power of electrophysiologically measured cortical activity decays 1/f X. The slope of this decay (i.e. the spectral exponent) is modulated by various factors such as age, cognitive states or ...

A model with a mixture of three different decision strategies is developed to characterize several atypical behavioral patterns of individuals with depression and anxiety in an uncertain reward ...
