Acetate Biosynthetic Pathway - Polyketides
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016-05-02)Focusing on biosynthesis, this book provides readers with approaches and methodologies for modern organic synthesis. -
Unexpected rewards induce dopamine-dependent positive emotion-like state changes in bumblebees.
(2016-09)Whether invertebrates exhibit positive emotion-like states and what mechanisms underlie such states remain poorly understood. We demonstrate that bumblebees exhibit dopamine-dependent positive emotion-like states across ... -
Life-Long Radar Tracking of Bumblebees

Charting the host adaptation of influenza viruses.
(2011-06)Four influenza pandemics have struck the human population during the last 100 years causing substantial morbidity and mortality. The pandemics were caused by the introduction of a new virus into the human population from ... -
Using non-homogeneous models of nucleotide substitution to identify host shift events: application to the origin of the 1918 'Spanish' influenza pandemic virus.
(2009-10)Nonhomogeneous Markov models of nucleotide substitution have received scant attention. Here we explore the possibility of using nonhomogeneous models to identify host shift nodes along phylogenetic trees of pathogens ... -
Estimating translational selection in eukaryotic genomes.
(2009-02)Natural selection on codon usage is a pervasive force that acts on a large variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Despite this, obtaining reliable estimates of selection on codon usage has proved complicated, perhaps ... -
The impact of the rate prior on Bayesian estimation of divergence times with multiple Loci.
(2014-07)Bayesian methods provide a powerful way to estimate species divergence times by combining information from molecular sequences with information from the fossil record. With the explosive increase of genomic data, divergence ...
