Finally, the argument that SMEs are of lesser interest since much global trade consists of internal transfer among MNE affiliates misses the point. A National Center for the Middle Market study for the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings surveyed not only firms that internationalized but also th...
In the study of transposable elements (TEs), the generation of a high confidence set of consensus sequences that represent the diversity of TEs found in a given genome is a key step in the path to investigate these fascinating genomic elements. Many algorithms and pipelines are available to au...
Compared to a routinely used BLAST-based approach, de novo methods based on repeats detection and identification of the IRs improve notably the detection of ISs and MITEs. These methods have led to the identification of more than 30 new transposons (+20%) in a reference dataset of 30 ...
Globally, using several different programs and carrying out a cross comparison of their results has the best chance of finding reliable results as any single program. However, this makes it essential to verify the results provided by each program independently. The ideal solution would be to test...
The genetic diversity of ARGs has made targeted sequencing approaches non-trivial and has led to the application of whole-genome shotgun metagenomic methods for the characterization resistomes6. This approach is dependent on the availability of a gene reference database to classify reads as ARGs seq...
There is consensus that the global food system is not delivering good nutrition for all and is causing environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity, such that a profound transformation is needed to meet the challenges of persistent malnutrition and rural poverty, aggravated by the growing consequ...

Why didn't Aaron Rodgers hook-slide on the play that led to his concussion? I have no idea, either. Rodgers already had the first down. Ben Roethlisberger didn't hook-slide in a similar situation against Cincinnati. Unless the game is on the line, the quarterback going headfirst isn...
(the burn-in was set to 2,500). The Jones amino acid model66was identified by the MrBayes program with a potential scale reduction factor (PSRF) of 1.00. Stationarity defined as the condition where the average standard deviation of split frequencies was of 0.0019 for PRDM9 phylogeny and ...
In the present study, we report that this is a common feature of the Mini-III subfamily of RNase III enzymes (class 4). We also found that swapping two structural elements, the α4 helix and α5b-α6 loop, between different MiniIII enzymes, led to significant changes in the...
