Three major mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups were identified in 5 data sets for North Pacific and Bering Sea walleye pollock. The common haplogroup A showed mirror-image clines on both sides of the North Pacific with high frequencies in southern areas (P(A) > 0.84) and low frequencies in the Bering Sea (P(A) < 0.36). Two additional haplogroups showed complimentary, but weaker, clines in th...

INTRODUCTION The establishment of pattern and polarity in the insect egg has been studied intensively using a variety of experimental approaches. Drosophila, while the system of choice for genetic analysis of pattern formation has been rather neglected as an experimental organism and species with longer developmental time and larger eggs were preferred in classical studies. Among the dipteran i...

The “organizer paper” by Hans Spemann and Hilde Mangold (1924) initiated a new epoch in developmental biology. It marked the climax of Spemann’s life-long research, and the “organizer effect” received special mention by the committee that honoured him with the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1935. This introduction precedes a translation of that paper by Spemann’s student, Viktor Ham...

Each year the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB; http:// www.iscb.org) honors a young scientist who has already achieved a significant and lasting impact on our field. The ISCB Awards Committee, comprised of current and former directors of the society and chaired by Søren Brunak, director of the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis at the Technical University of Denmark, ...

Ursvik et al. compared the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome sequences of Walleye Pollock (Gadus ( = Theragra) chalcogrammus) from the Pacific Ocean with a pair of fish from an isolated population of Norwegian pollock in the Barents Sea. They concluded that the Norwegian population was recently introduced from the Pacific. We test this hypothesis within a temporal framework provided by ...

The Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission has an extensive program to inform Anishinaabe tribal members from northern Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota who harvest and consume walleye about the health risks of consuming these fish, and to encourage harvest and consumption practices that reduce exposure to MeHg. We report here the results of a probabilistic analysis of exposure to met...
