Basic knowledge about the rate and range of mutation is central to our understanding of numerous evolutionary processes that include maintaining sexual reproduction and rates of molecular evolution.
The germline mutation rate varies across the mammalian genome at several scales: between adjacent nucleotides; over hundreds of nucleotides; over hundreds of thousands to millions of nucleotides; and ...
Concerns about biodiversity tend to focus on the loss of species from ecosystems, but a new study suggests that the loss of variation within species can also have important ecological consequences.
Variation is the differences between individuals of the same species, caused by genetic and environmental factors. Surveys into variation give data that are continuous, which means to come in a range, ...
EDA (Electronic Design Automation) cell characterization tools have been used extensively to generate models for timing, power and noise at a rapidly growing number of process corners. Today, model ...
