Atypical E2f functions are critical for pancreas polyploidization by Ramadhan B. Matondo (4763097)

“…Surprisingly the molecular regulators and biological functions of polyploidization in the pancreas are still unknown. We discovered that atypical E2f activity is essential for polyploidization in the pancreas, using an inducible <i>Cre/LoxP</i> approach in new-born mice to delete ubiquitously the atypical <i>E2f</i> transcription factors, <i>E2f7</i> and <i>E2f8</i>. …”

Placebo-Suggestion Modulates Conflict Resolution in the Stroop Task by Pedro A. Magalhães De Saldanha da Gama (468836)

“…In Experiment 2, participants were explicitly asked to <i>imagine</i> that their color perception and performance would be enhanced or decreased (non-hypnotic imaginative suggestion). …”

Density of opportunities for recombination initiation along the chromosome. by Thibault Corneloup (16293971)

“…Given the low divergence between strains, when we average the number of these opportunities for recombination per kb across bins of 100kb for each of the tree recipients (REL606, HS and 536), we see that focusing on the 700kb before and after <i>galK</i> locus there are several hundred of opportunities for recombination per kb. …”

Spatial networks differ when food supply changes: Foraging strategy of Egyptian fruit bats by Erik Bachorec (8491545)

“…We observed a decrease in home range size during spring, when food availability was lowest, which was reflected by differences in space sharing networks. …”

Analysis of synthetic SPS and CSL reporter activity under conditions of either GFP or Hairless overexpression. by Yi Kuang (1873354)

“…Box plots show the median, interquartile range, and 1.5 times interquartile range. Note, unlike the <i>12xCSL</i>_<i>17</i><i>-lacZ</i> reporter expression that was strongly decreased by Hairless overexpression (see <b><a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1009039#pgen.1009039.g006" target="_blank">Fig 6</a></b>), the <i>6xSPS</i>_<i>17</i><i>-lacZ</i> reporter with the same flanking sequences was not strongly impacted by ectopic Hairless. …”

Phase diagram of nucleosome density profile with respect to the strength of the positioning potential and the rate of spacer enzymes. by Zhongling Jiang (9962656)

Sequence Capture and Phylogenetic Utility of Genomic Ultraconserved Elements Obtained from Pinned Insect Specimens by Bonnie B. Blaimer (431703)

“…<div><p>Obtaining sequence data from historical museum specimens has been a growing research interest, invigorated by next-generation sequencing methods that allow inputs of highly degraded DNA. We applied a target enrichment and next-generation sequencing protocol to generate ultraconserved elements (UCEs) from 51 large carpenter bee specimens (genus <i>Xylocopa</i>), representing 25 species with specimen ages ranging from 2–121 years. …”

Potassium-induced plant resistance against soybean cyst nematode via root exudation of phenolic acids and plant pathogen-related genes by Xiang Gao (4077)
