Chromatic acclimation and population dynamics of green sulfur bacteria grown with spectrally tailored light
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Living organisms have to adjust to their surrounding in order to survive in stressful conditions. We study this mechanism in one of most primitive creatures – photosynthetic green sulfur bacteria. These bacteria absorb ... -
Chromatic Signatures in the Microlensing of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
(American Astronomical Society, 2001)We calculate the radial surface brightness profile of the image of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow. The afterglow spectrum consists of several power-law segments separated by breaks. The image profile changes considerably ... -
Chromatin Loops as Allosteric Modulators of Enhancer-Promoter Interactions
(Public Library of Science, 2014)The classic model of eukaryotic gene expression requires direct spatial contact between a distal enhancer and a proximal promoter. Recent Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) studies show that enhancers and promoters are ... -
Chromatin Modification by PSC Occurs at One PSC per Nucleosome and Does Not Require the Acidic Patch of Histone H2A
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Chromatin architecture is regulated through both enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities. For example, the Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins maintain developmental gene silencing using an array of chromatin-based mechanisms. ... -
Chromatin topology is coupled to Polycomb group protein subnuclear organization
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)The genomes of metazoa are organized at multiple scales. Many proteins that regulate genome architecture, including Polycomb group (PcG) proteins, form subnuclear structures. Deciphering mechanistic links between protein ... -
Chromatin-Associated Proteins HP1 and Mod(mdg4) Modify Y-Linked Regulatory Variation in the Drosophila Testis
(Genetics Society of America, 2013)Chromatin remodeling is crucial for gene regulation. Remodeling is often mediated through chemical modifications of the DNA template, DNA-associated proteins, and RNA-mediated processes. Y-linked regulatory variation (YRV) ... -
Chromodynamics of Cooperation in Finite Populations
(Public Library of Science, 2007)Background: The basic idea of tag-based models for cooperation is that individuals recognize each other via arbitrary signals, so-called tags. If there are tags of different colors, then cooperators can always establish ... -
Chromosomal attachments set length and microtubule number in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitotic spindle
(The American Society for Cell Biology, 2014)The length of the mitotic spindle varies among different cell types. A simple model for spindle length regulation requires balancing two forces: pulling, due to microtubules that attach to the chromosomes at their ... -
Chromosomal Barcoding of E. Coli Populations Reveals Lineage Diversity Dynamics at High Resolution
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-03)Evolutionary dynamics in large asexual populations is strongly influenced by multiple competing beneficial lineages, most of which segregate at very low frequencies. However, technical barriers to tracking a large number ... -
Chromospheric Variability in Sloan Digital Sky Survey M Dwarfs. Ii. Short-timescale Hα Variability
(American Astronomical Society, 2010)We present the first comprehensive study of short-timescale chromospheric H alpha variability in M dwarfs using the individual 15 minute spectroscopic exposures for 52,392 objects from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our ... -
Chromothripsis and beyond: rapid genome evolution from complex chromosomal rearrangements
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2013)Recent genome sequencing studies have identified several classes of complex genomic rearrangements that appear to be derived from a single catastrophic event. These discoveries identify ways that genomes can be altered in ... -
CHROMOTHRIPSIS FROM DNA DAMAGE IN MICRONUCLEI
(2015)Genome sequencing has uncovered a new mutational phenomenon in cancer and congenital disorders called chromothripsis. Chromothripsis is characterized by extensive genomic rearrangements and an oscillating pattern of DNA ... -
Chronaxie Measurements in Patterned Neuronal Cultures from Rat Hippocampus
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Excitation of neurons by an externally induced electric field is a long standing question that has recently attracted attention due to its relevance in novel clinical intervention systems for the brain. Here we use patterned ... -
Chronic effects of temperature on mortality in the Southeastern USA using satellite-based exposure metrics
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Climate change may affect human health, particularly for elderly individuals who are vulnerable to temperature changes. While many studies have investigated the acute effects of heat, only a few have dealt with the chronic ... -
Chronology and geochemistry of Taxinan basalts from the Tarim basin: evidence for Permian plume magmatism
(Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2008)A new K-Ar age of 289.6Ma has been obtained for Taxinan basalt in the southwest Tarim basin of the northwest China. This age is consistent with the Ar-Ar age of 290. 1Ma from the same sample. This dating confirms the ... -
