Gardnerella and vaginal health: the truth is out there

The Tbx-files: the truth is out there.

T-box factors are critical regulators of embryonic development and have been implicated in several human diseases. This primer describes the basics of how T-box factors work and features a discussion of the state of T-box gene research with three experts in the field.

The eX-Files: MVS Explain: The Truth is Out There

Genetic association studies in epilepsy: "the truth is out there".

Success has been achieved in identifying many mutations in rare monogenic epilepsy syndromes by using linkage analysis, but dissecting the genetic basis of common epilepsy syndromes has proven more difficult. Common epilepsies are genetically complex disorders believed to be influenced by variation in several susceptibility genes. Association studies can theoretically identify these genes, but ...

Genomes: the truth is in there.

Genomes are the blueprints of all living organisms. From a meagre 500,000 base pairs in the bacterium Mycoplasma or a respectable 3.3 billion in humans, up to a dazzling 149 billion base pairs in the Japanese flower Paris japonica; genomes underpin the mystery of life. Eager to better grapple with that mystery, most biologists will spend time browsing journals for papers that present new genome...

The Truth Is Out There: the Evolution of Reliability in Aggressive Communication Systems

This paper reports on our ongoing research in which we employ an artificial life methodology to study the evolution of communication. We perform experiments using synthetic ecologies in which artificial autonomous agents (animats) with evolved signalling and receiving tactics are in competition over food. Synthetic ecologies permit an investigative strategy in which one relaxes certain restrict...
