Childhood language development and alexithymia in adolescence: an eight-year longitudinal study by Lee, K-S, Catmur, C, Bird, G

“…Results indicated that boys with low language function at ages 4-5, and those who later met the diagnostic criteria for language disorders at ages 5-6, reported elevated alexithymic traits when they reached adolescence. …”

Optimisation strategies for directed evolution without sequencing by James, J, Towers, S, Foerster, J, Steel, H

“…Directed evolution can enable engineering of biological systems with minimal knowledge of their underlying sequence-to-function relationships. A typical directed evolution process consists of iterative rounds of mutagenesis and selection that are designed to steer changes in a biological system (e.g. a protein) towards some functional goal. …”

An abundant bacterial phylum with nitrite-oxidizing potential in oligotrophic marine sediments by Zhao, Rui, Jørgensen, Steffen L, Babbin, Andrew R

“…Nitrosediminicolota members have the functional potential to oxidize nitrite, in addition to other accessory functions such as urea hydrolysis and thiosulfate reduction. …”

Genetic analysis of normal human phenotypes within the people of the British Isles by Meena, D

“…<p>Genome-wide association studies have been of fundamental use in identifying common risk alleles with modest effects underlying multifactorial diseases such as diabetes, cancer, Crohn's disease as well as in polygenic traits, such as pigmentation, involving multiple genes. …”

Ectomycorrhizal community composition, diversity, and their environmental drivers across common UK temperate woodlands by Ong, Wei Sern

“…ECM richness, diversity and taxonomic community composition were determined by Sanger sequencing of the fungal ITS gene from collected ECM root tip samples, while functional traits and morphology of the ectomycorrhizas were also recorded. …”

Unity assumption in audiovisual emotion perception by Sou, Ka Lon, Say, Ashley, Xu, Hong

“…Moreover, to investigate the variation of multisensory integration across the population, we examined the effects of personality and autistic traits of participants. Here, we found no correlation of autistic traits with unisensory processing in a nonclinical population. …”

Sensorimotor control of Drosophila copulation by Herbert, MR

“…<p>Dipteran insects show a wide range of species-specific mating postures, and interspecific differences in the postures they adopt may reflect sexual selection acting on these traits. As with most sequences of motor action, mechanosensory inputs have long been thought to be important for the male to achieve and maintain this position,although until now we have understood very little about the function or properties ofthe sensory neurons involved.…”

Selection against domestication alleles in introduced rabbit populations by Andrade, P, Alves, JM, Pereira, P, Rubin, C-J, Silva, E, Sprehn, CG, Enbody, E, Afonso, S, Faria, R, Zhang, Y, Bonino, N, Duckworth, JA, Garreau, H, Letnic, M, Strive, T, Thulin, C-G, Queney, G, Villafuerte, R, Jiggins, FM, Ferrand, N, Andersson, L, Carneiro, M

“…Interestingly, causative mutations for common domestication traits sometimes segregate at considerable frequencies if associated with less drastic phenotypes (for example, coat colour dilution), whereas mutations that are probably strongly maladaptive in nature are absent. …”

The Sensory Shark: High-quality Morphological, Genomic and Transcriptomic Data for the Small-spotted Catshark Scyliorhinus Canicula Reveal the Molecular Bases of Sensory Organ Evol... by Mayeur, H, Leyhr, J, Mulley, J, Leurs, N, Michel, L, Sharma, K, Lagadec, R, Aury, J, Osborne, OG, Mulhair, P, Poulain, J, Mangenot, S, Mead, D, Smith, M, Corton, C, Oliver, K, Skelton, J, Betteridge, E, Dolucan, J, Dudchenko, O, Omer, AD, Weisz, D, Aiden, EL, McCarthy, SA

“…Taking advantage of a dense sampling of transcriptomic data, we also identify gene signatures for all major organs, including chondrichthyan specializations, and evaluate expression diversifications between paralogs within major gene families involved in sensory functions. Finally, we combine these data with 3D synchrotron imaging and in situ gene expression analyses to explore chondrichthyan-specific traits and more general evolutionary trends of sensory systems. …”

A Data Mining-Based Model for Assessing Guangzhou's Higher Vocational Colleges 'New Energy Automobile Majors' Vocational Skills by He, Ling, Hamid, Hashima

“…By combining GAM's detailed study of the features' impact on job performance with RF's accurate feature selection and the theory of evolution, researchers can investigate non-linear relationships and discover several things about the distinct functions performed by distinct personality traits and skills. …”
