PLASTICITY FOR CHANGES. "In contrast, a major secondary metabolite pathway in Arabidopsis showed a significantly increased level of gene duplication and intraspecific gene expression variation, suggesting that this pathway may be structured to cope with fluctuating selection in the wild. As such, the influence of gene duplication on intraspecific gene expression variation partly depends upon the biological function of the gene involved." http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0001838 View in LinkedIn

PATHWAY CONSTRAINTS. "Gene participation in specific metabolic pathways predicted the level of intraspecific variation in gene expression, with major energy and amino acid pathways having relatively lower levels of gene expression variation. This suggests that these primary metabolism pathways are genetically constrained." http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0001838 View in LinkedIn

RECENT HISTORY. "For Dr. Hubert Waltl, Board of Management Member for Production at AUDI AG, human‑robot cooperation opens up entirely new possibilities: “The factory of the future will feature increasing interaction between man and machine." http://www.volkswagenag.com/content/vwcorp/info_center/en/news/2015/02/cooperation.html View in LinkedIn

LOCI CONTROL POINTS. "Gene expression variation of segmental and tandem duplicated genes was controlled by a greater number of genetic loci, and these loci had larger effects on gene expression variation for tandem duplicated genes." http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0001838 View in LinkedIn

HUMAN-ROBOT COOPERATION. "Direct cooperation between man and machine: At its main plant in Ingolstadt, Audi has for the first time deployed a robot that works “hand-in-hand” with humans – without a safety barrier and ideally adapted to the employees’ working cycles. It is the first human-robot cooperation at the Volkswagen Group to be applied in final assembly." http://www.volkswagenag.com/content/vwcorp/info_center/en/news/2015/02/cooperation.html View in LinkedIn

PLASTICITY IN DEFENSE GENES. "In contrast, a major herbivory defense pathway showed significantly elevated intraspecific variation suggesting that it may be under pressure to maintain and/or generate diversity in response to fluctuating insect herbivory pressures." http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0001838 View in LinkedIn

INDUSTRIAL APPS. "The project aspires to the integration of the latest industrial automation systems for assembly operations, in combination with human capabilities. Focus is given to combining robot strength, velocity, predictability, repeatability and precision with human intelligence and skills to get at a hybrid solution that would be involving the safe cooperation of operators with autonomous and adapting robotic systems." https://lnkd.in/ddC3WcP View in LinkedIn

FUNCTIONAL CONSTRAINTS. "The specific biological function of the gene as defined by metabolic pathway also modulated the level of intraspecific gene expression variation. The major energy metabolism and biosynthetic pathways showed decreased variation, suggesting that they are constrained in their ability to accumulate gene expression variation." http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0001838 View in LinkedIn

ROBOT CARETAKERS. “In late 2011, Toyota Motor Corp. reported that it planned to release a group of robots that will act as health-care aids by 2013. The robots are being designed to lift patients and to help people suffering from paralysis to walk again." https://lnkd.in/dhUaYtk View in LinkedIn

GREATER PLASTICITY IN YOUNGER GENES. "In all instances, the younger tandem duplicated genes showed higher intraspecific gene expression variation than the average Arabidopsis gene. Surprisingly, the older segmental duplicates also showed evidence of elevated intraspecific gene expression variation albeit typically lower than for the tandem duplicates." http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0001838 View in LinkedIn
