Codon Pairs are Phylogenetically Conserved: A comprehensive analysis of codon pairing conservation across the Tree of Life. by Justin B Miller, Lauren M McKinnon, Michael F Whiting, John S K Kauwe, Perry G Ridge

“…Since the recovered phylogenies using only codon pairing largely match phylogenies from the Open Tree of Life and the NCBI taxonomy, and are comparable to trees recovered by other algorithms, we propose that codon pairing biases are phylogenetically conserved and should be considered in conjunction with other phylogenomic techniques.…”

High-resolution modeling of the selection on local mRNA folding strength in coding sequences across the tree of life by Michael Peeri, Tamir Tuller

“…Results We perform a comprehensive study of the selection on local mRNA folding strengths considering variation between species across the tree of life. We show for the first time that local folding strength selection tends to follow a conserved characteristic profile in most phyla, with selection for weak folding at the two ends of the coding region and for strong folding elsewhere in the coding sequence, with an additional peak of selection for strong folding located downstream of the start codon. …”

Human Figure Iconology is Two Pieces of Textile from Sassanid Era (With Images of the King’s Battle and the Tree of Life) by nastaran saberi, Ameneh Mafitabar

“…Aiming to fulfil this objective, the present study seeks to answer this question: “What are the hidden and semantic layers ofthe human figures on the two pieces of textile from Sassanid Era with images of king’s battle and tree of life, based on the iconological approach?” The hypothesis is that by exploring the superficial forms of the motifs of these two pieces of fabric and determining and interpreting the symbols, it is possible to come to their iconographic interpretation and identify at least some of the most meaningful symbolic meanings as a decorative element and a feature of Iranian art. …”
