Seven challenges for model-driven data collection in experimental and observational studies
Epidemics, 10, 78–82.
author keywords: Modeling; Data collection; Observational studies; Experimental studies
MeSH headings : Communicable Diseases / epidemiology; Communicable Diseases / transmission; Data Collection / methods; Epidemiologic Research Design; Humans; Models, Statistical; Observational Studies as Topic / methods
TL;DR:
A close marriage of dynamic modeling and empirical data collection is far from the norm in infectious disease research, and overcoming the challenges to using models to inform data collection has the potential to accelerate innovation and to improve practice in how the authors deal with infectious disease threats.

Roles of Solvent Accessibility and Gene Expression in Modeling Protein Sequence Evolution
EVOLUTIONARY BIOINFORMATICS, 11.
author keywords: protein evolution; protein structure; gene expression; codon usage; scaled selection coefficient; solvent accessibility
TL;DR:
It is come to the biologically plausible conclusion that both RSA and gene expression are related to amino acid frequencies, but, among synonymous codons, the relative probability of a particular codon is more closely related to gene expression than RSA.

Regulator of bulb biogenesis1 (RBB1) is involved in vacuole bulb formation in arabidopsis
PLoS One, 10(4).
TL;DR:
It is proposed that the bulbs may function transiently to accommodate membranes and proteins when transvacuolar strands fail to elongate, and it is shown that RBB1 corresponds to a very large protein of unknown function that is specific to plants, is present in the cytosol, and may associate with cellular membranes.

Joint-multiple family linkage analysis predicts within-family variation better than single-family analysis of the maize nested association mapping population
HEREDITY, 114(6), 552–563.
Contributors: F. Ogut n, Y. Bian n, P. Bradbury * & J. Holland*
MeSH headings : Chromosome Mapping / methods; Genetic Linkage; Genetic Markers; Genetics, Population; Models, Genetic; Quantitative Trait Loci; Zea mays / genetics
TL;DR:
The superior predictive ability of joint-family QTL models despite important genetic differences among families suggests that joint- family models capture sufficient smaller effect QTL that is shared across families to compensate for missing some rare large-effect QTL.

Five challenges for stochastic epidemic models involving global transmission
EPIDEMICS, 10, 54–57.
author keywords: Stochastic epidemics; Global transmission; Extinction; Genetic evolution; Endemicity
MeSH headings : Biological Evolution; Communicable Diseases / epidemiology; Communicable Diseases / transmission; Endemic Diseases / statistics & numerical data; Epidemics / statistics & numerical data; Extinction, Biological; Global Health / statistics & numerical data; Humans; Models, Statistical; Stochastic Processes
TL;DR:
The most basic stochastic epidemic models are those involving global transmission, meaning that infection rates depend only on the type and state of the individuals involved, and not on their location in the population.

TL;DR:
The theoretical analysis predicts that influx carriers facilitate periodic patterning and modulate the periodicity of auxin maxima and computational simulations propose a role for extracellular auxin as an inhibitor of xylem differentiation.

Contributors: J. Brown*, L. Fatehi* & J. Kuzma n
author keywords: Food; Nanotechnology; Risk; Consumer; Perception; Skepticism; Altruism; Societal implications
TL;DR:
It is proposed that paying attention to altruism and skepticism may guide more responsible development of nano-food in the future and represent a convergence point among theories that each help explain different aspects of both how food nanotechnologies are perceived and why those perceptions are formed.

Tetracycline-exposed Drosophila melanogaster males produce fewer offspring but a relative excess of sons
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 5(15), 3130–3139.
author keywords: Drosophila; fitness; sex ratio; tetracycline; Wolbachia
TL;DR:
The results indicate that tetracycline-treated males produce a relative excess of sons and the number of progeny produced by treated males but not treated females, and implicate the antibiotic itself as mediating these changes.

author keywords: Conservation; Distance sampling; Subtropics; Endangered species
TL;DR:
A novel use of point transect distance sampling is presented to monitor the Miami blue, a highly endangered butterfly that occupies dense shrub habitat, and the determinants of adult flight phenology are identified to target monitoring efforts during periods of high adult abundance.
