Evolution of bacterial transformation: is sex with dead cells ever better than no sex at all?
Computer simulations of bacterial transformation are used to show that, under a wide range of biologically reasonable assumptions, transforming populations undergoing deleterious mutation and selection have a higher mean fitness at equilibrium than asexual populations. The source of transforming DNA, the amount of DNA taken up by each transforming cell, and the relationship between number of mu...

متن کاملSay NO to hypoperfusion!
AUTOREGULATION is defined as the capacity of an organ or tissue to maintain a constant blood flow in the face of a change in perfusion pressure, while metabolism is unchanged. Under normal physiological conditions, large proximal arteries contribute little to the total resistance of a particular vascular bed. However, when atherosclerosis causes a conductance artery to narrow so that over 70% o...
متن کاملRobots That Say 'No'
This paper! reports on foundational considerations for experiments into the acquisition of human-like use and understanding of negation in linguistic utterances via a developmental robotics approach. For this purpose different taxonomies of negation in early child language are analysed in order to show the large variety of communicative functions that these different types of negation have. Req...
متن کاملPlant Breeding: Surprisingly, Less Sex Is Better
Introduction of apomixis, asexual reproduction through seeds, into crop species has the potential to dramatically transform plant breeding. A new study demonstrates that traits can be stably transferred between generations in newly produced apomictic lines, and heralds a breeding revolution needed to increase food production for the growing planet.
