Recombinant inbred systems can advance research in behavioral ecology
Recombinant inbred (RI) systems such as the BXD mouse family represent a population with defined genetic architecture and variation that approximates those of natural populations. With the development of novel RI lines and sophisticated methods that conjointly analyze phenotype, gene sequence, and expression data, RI systems such as BXD are a timely and powerful tool to advance the field of beh...
متن کاملHow can computation advance microbiome research?
Microbiome science is already in the fast lane, and computations share the credit. How can computations further speed up the pace of microbiome research as it dashes farther, scaling higher summits? What can computations accomplish? What questions can computations help address and what types of algorithms and software should computational biologists aim to develop? These are tantalizing questio...
متن کاملRecombinant inbred strain panels: a tool for systems genetics.
SYSTEMS BIOLOGY IS “the study of the interactions between the components of biological systems and how these interactions give rise to the function and behavior of that system” (ref. Wikipedia). Ideally the practice of systems biology is a cyclical process that alternates between stages of mathematical modeling and experimentation. A model is a quantitative description of the system. By solving...
متن کاملHigh-throughput behavioral phenotyping in the expanded panel of BXD recombinant inbred strains
Genetic reference populations, particularly the BXD recombinant inbred (BXD RI) strains derived from C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice, are a valuable resource for the discovery of the bio-molecular substrates and genetic drivers responsible for trait variation and covariation. This approach can be profitably applied in the analysis of susceptibility and mechanisms of drug and alcohol use disorders for ...
متن کاملCan Complexity Studies Advance Sustainability ? Scaling in Natural & Social Systems
The challenge of creating human socio-economic systems that are socially, economically and environmentally sustainable is highlighted by problems of local and global environmental impacts, including climate change and socially inequitable distribution of resources between rich and poor countries and individuals. Socio-economic systems are complex systems involving multiple actors interacting at...
