Divide and Conquer: Investigating the Mechanisms behind Mitosis

Dissecting the Mechanisms of Posttranscriptional Gene Silencing Divide and Conquer

genes were tested. In all cases, the transcripts of homolIt is now routine to construct trangenes with defined ogous plant genes became degraded following infection promoters and terminators and express them in a variety (reviewed in Bruening, 1998). PTGS also allows plants of organisms. However, some introduced transgenes to “cure themselves” of infecting viruses even if the are not expressed ...

Divide and Conquer

An instance of the given problem is divided into easier instances of the same problem, which are solved recursively and then combined to create a solution to the original instance. Of course, divide and conquer is not suitable for every problem. A divide and conquer approach will only work if the problem is easily divided into a small number of easier sub-problems, and the solution to the entir...

Divide and (Iteratively) Conquer!

The Iterative Multi-Agent (IMA) Method works by breaking down a search problem into many sub-problems, each to be solved separately. Independent problem solving agents work on the sub-problems and use iteration to handle any interaction between the sub-problems. Each agent knows about a subset of the whole problem and cannot solve it all by itself. The agents, working in parallel, can use any m...

Cheaters divide and conquer

Three 'killer genes' in one species of fission yeast act selfishly and keep it reproductively isolated from a closely related species.
