Zebrabow: multispectral cell labeling for cell tracing and lineage analysis in zebrafish2013
(Company of Biologists, 2013-07-01)
Advances in imaging and cell-labeling techniques have greatly enhanced our understanding of developmental and neurobiological processes. Among vertebrates, zebrafish is uniquely suited for in vivo imaging owing to its small ...
Can Administrative Housing Data Replace Survey Data?
(HUD, 2017)
This article examines the feasibility of using local administrative data sources for enhancing and supplementing federally collected survey data to describe housing in Arlington County, Virginia. Using real estate assessment ...
A Genetic System for Methanocaldococcus jannaschii: An Evolutionary Deeply Rooted Hyperthermophilic Methanarchaeon
(Frontiers, 2019-07-03)
Phylogenetically deeply rooted methanogens belonging to the genus of Methanocaldococcus living in deep-sea hydrothermal vents derive energy exclusively from hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis, one of the oldest respiratory ...
Modeling Commodity Flow in the Context of Invasive Species Spread: Study of Tuta absoluta in Nepal
(Virginia Tech, 2017)
Trade and transport of goods is widely accepted as a primary pathway for the introduction and dispersal of invasive species. However, understanding commodity flows remains a challenge owing to its complex nature, unavailability ...
A syntactic model to design and verify synthetic genetic constructs derived from standard biological parts
(2007)
Motivation: The sequence of artificial genetic constructs is composed of multiple functional fragments, or genetic parts, involved in different molecular steps of gene expression mechanisms. Biologists have deciphered ...
Anterograde or Retrograde Transsynaptic Circuit Tracing in Vertebrates with Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Vectors
(Wiley, 2016-01)
Viruses have been used as transsynaptic tracers, allowing one to map the inputs and outputs of neuronal populations, due to their ability to replicate in neurons and transmit in vivo only across synaptically connected ...
Robo2 determines subtype-specific axonal projections of trigeminal sensory neurons
(Company of Biologists, 2012)
How neurons connect to form functional circuits is central to the understanding of the development and function of the nervous system. In the somatosensory system, perception of sensory stimuli to the head requires specific ...
PLoS Computational Biology Conference Postcards from PSB 2010
(Public Library of Science, 2010-04-29)
Welcome to PLoS Conference Postcards. Postcards, as the name suggests, are designed to vividly recount to those not at a conference what happened at the event that was scientifically noteworthy and therefore make the reader ...
An Ensemble Approach to Predicting the Impact of Vaccination on Rotavirus Disease in Niger
(2017-05-09)
Recently developed vaccines provide a new way of controlling rotavirus in sub-Saharan Africa. Models for the transmission dynamics of rotavirus are critical both for estimating current burden from imperfect surveillance ...
