    • Awake, Offline Processing during Associative Learning 

      Bursley, James K.; Nestor, Adrian; Tarr, Michael J.; Creswell, J. David (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Offline processing has been shown to strengthen memory traces and enhance learning in the absence of conscious rehearsal or awareness. Here we evaluate whether a brief, two-minute offline processing period can boost ...
    • Efficient Mutagenesis by Cas9 Protein-Mediated Oligonucleotide Insertion and Large-Scale Assessment of Single-Guide RNAs 

      Gagnon, James A.; Valen, Eivind; Thyme, Summer B.; Huang, Peng; Ahkmetova, Laila; Pauli, Andrea; Montague, Tessa G.; Zimmerman, Steven; Richter, Constance; Schier, Alexander F. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been implemented in a variety of model organisms to mediate site-directed mutagenesis. A wide range of mutation rates has been reported, but at a limited number of genomic target sites. To uncover ...
    • Four Centuries of Change in Northeastern United States Forests 

      Thompson, Jonathan R.; Carpenter, Dunbar N.; Cogbill, Charles V.; Foster, David R. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      The northeastern United States is a predominately-forested region that, like most of the eastern U.S., has undergone a 400-year history of intense logging, land clearance for agriculture, and natural reforestation. This ...
    • Integrated Tree-Ring-Radiocarbon High-Resolution Timeframe to Resolve Earlier Second Millennium BCE Mesopotamian Chronology 

      Manning, Sturt W.; Griggs, Carol B.; Lorentzen, Brita; Barjamovic, Gojko; Ramsey, Christopher Bronk; Kromer, Bernd; Wild, Eva Maria (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      500 years of ancient Near Eastern history from the earlier second millennium BCE, including such pivotal figures as Hammurabi of Babylon, Šamši-Adad I (who conquered Aššur) and Zimrilim of Mari, has long floated in calendar ...
    • Random Forests for Global and Regional Crop Yield Predictions 

      Jeong, Jig Han; Resop, Jonathan P.; Mueller, Nathaniel D.; Fleisher, David H.; Yun, Kyungdahm; Butler, Ethan E.; Timlin, Dennis J.; Shim, Kyo-Moon; Gerber, James S.; Reddy, Vangimalla R.; Kim, Soo-Hyung (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Accurate predictions of crop yield are critical for developing effective agricultural and food policies at the regional and global scales. We evaluated a machine-learning method, Random Forests (RF), for its ability to ...
    • Two of a Kind or a Full House? Reproductive Suppression and Alloparenting in Laboratory Mice 

      Garner, Joseph P.; Gaskill, Brianna N.; Pritchett-Corning, Kathleen R. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Alloparenting, a behavior in which individuals other than the actual parents act in a parental role, is seen in many mammals, including house mice. In wild house mice, alloparental care is only seen when familiar sibling ...
