GENOMIC LANDSCAPES. “The observed correlations are a direct prediction of long-term linked selection in heterogeneous recombination landscapes that are conserved among species.” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mec.14167/full View in LinkedIn

DIVERSITY GENOMES. “Correlated genomic landscapes in birds have persisted over tens of millions of years, making a strong case for genomic features—in particular recombination rate—in governing the genomic landscapes of diversity and differentiation.” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mec.14167/full View in LinkedIn

DISPLACED CONCEPT. “Linked selection may have further reaching consequences than anticipated so far, putting even the previous golden standard practice of replication and the inference of parallel evolution into the line of fire.” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mec.14167/full View in LinkedIn

OLIVE TREE BLIGHT. A couple of years ago I contacted a Texas researcher who had identified a phage specific for the olive blight, but was brushed aside. Since then nothing has happened. It could solve the olive blight problem. Equally, quorum sensing bacterial pheromones would be a promising approach. Are the agriculture science advisors asleep? https://www.ecowatch.com/olive-trees-disease-europe-2645714129.html?rebelltitem=3#rebelltitem3 View in LinkedIn

A MUST READ: this is a superb, lucid and informative article with stunning graphics on the meaning of infectivity rates in different viral diseases. Rarely is it so well articulated. https://lnkd.in/deDFGUR View in LinkedIn

CONNECTOME PROJECT. "A secondary objective is to use standardized behavioral tests as much as is feasible, to increase the prospects that findings based on the HCP data can in the future be related to other large-scale projects comparing brain and behavior." https://lnkd.in/ddAE8pR View in LinkedIn

CONNECTOME PROJECT. "On the behavioral front, our objective is to capture a large amount of information about each subject across many behavioral domains, especially for measures that have the potential to covary in interesting ways (across subjects) with brain connectivity and function." https://lnkd.in/ddAE8pR View in LinkedIn

IMAGES of the brain connections by the Human Connectome Project. Exquisite, stunning images. The start of new things to come. https://lnkd.in/drXsEKF View in LinkedIn

NOVEL COMPILATION. "The Human Connectome Project aims to provide an unparalleled compilation of neural data, an interface to graphically navigate this data and the opportunity to achieve never before realized conclusions about the living human brain." https://lnkd.in/d2iV5Vr View in LinkedIn

"THE HUMAN CONNECTOME PROJECT consortium led by Washington University, University of Minnesota, and Oxford University is undertaking a systematic effort to map macroscopic human brain circuits and their relationship to behavior in a large population of healthy adults." https://lnkd.in/ddAE8pR View in LinkedIn
