Ecological perspectives on synthetic biology: insights from microbial population biology
The metabolic capabilities of microbes are the basis for many major biotechnological advances, exploiting microbial diversity by selection or engineering of single strains. However, there are limits to the advances that can be achieved with single strains, and attention has turned toward the metabolic potential of consortia and the field of synthetic ecology. The main challenge for the syntheti...
متن کاملMicrobial fossil record of rocks from the Ross Desert, Antarctica: implications in the search for past life on Mars
Cryptoendolithic microbial communities living within Antarctic rocks are an example of survival in an extremely cold and dry environment. The extinction of these micro-organisms formerly colonizing sandstone in the Mount Fleming area (Ross Desert), was probably provoked by the hostile environment. This is considered to be a good terrestrial analogue of the first stage of the disappearance of po...
متن کاملIdentifying global anatomical differences: deformation-based morphometry.
The aim of this paper is to illustrate a method for identifying macroscopic anatomical differences among the brains of different populations of subjects. The method involves spatially normalizing the structural MR images of a number of subjects so that they all conform to the same stereotactic space. Multivariate statistics are then applied to the parameters describing the estimated nonlinear d...
متن کاملAnkle morphometry in the Chinese population
Introduction Modern designs are now contributing to a remarkable renewed interest in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), but TAA is still not as successful as total hip and total knee arthroplasty [1]. Among the remaining issues there is the design of the prosthesis components, which are often claimed to be 'anatomical' or compatible with the bony and ligament structures. However, very little is re...
متن کاملEarthquake faulting in subduction zones: insights from fault rocks in accretionary prisms
Subduction earthquakes on plate-boundary megathrusts accommodate most of the global seismic moment release, frequently resulting in devastating damage by ground shaking and tsunamis. As many earthquakes occur in deep-sea regions, the dynamics of earthquake faulting in subduction zones is poorly understood. However, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Expe...
