Thus, human free choices have altered the human genome, making humans more likely to engage in sinful actions. The Fall into sin established a vicious cycle even at the level of genetic traits.RoutledgeTheology and Science
and generally represents a transition from gonochorism to hermaphroditism (as in the androdioeciousCaenorhabditis elegans), likely due to selection for reproductive assurance rather than the reverse direction of change2,9,10,11. In animals, transitions from hermaphroditic ancestors to androdioecy ...
Bird sex chromosomes play a unique role in sex-determination, and affect the sexual morphology and behavior of bird species. Core waterbirds, a major clade of birds, share the common characteristics of being sexually monomorphic and having lower levels o
Different models have been proposed for the formation and tectonic evolution of the South China Sea (SCS), including extrusion of the Indochina Peninsula, backarc extension, two-stage opening, proto-SCS dragging, extension induced by a mantle plume, and integrated models that combine diverse factor...
Get ready, because this site will open your eyes to the incredible technology we all have wired inside of us. As the supervisor of computer aided design for a large defense contractor and one of the designers of the space shuttle guidance and navigation system; ...
Our original letter included 23 signers, most of whom are included in this second and final version of the letter. The first letter never received a response (I find that rather rude), but we’re hoping for a response to this one. ...
Novel prediction approaches of high sensitivity and specificity have been developed for peroxisome targeting signals type 1 (PTS1) and have been validated by in vivo subcellular targeting analyses and thermodynamic binding studies with the cytosolic receptor, PEX5. Accordingly, the algorithms allow the ...
The comparison results between the EDE and several classical differential evolution methods and state-of-the-art parameter adaptive differential evolution variants indicate that the proposed EDE algorithm is competitive with , and in some cases superior to, other algorithms in terms of final solution ...
To date, dozens of LINE families falling into 17 clades have been described (Lovsin et al., 2001; Eickbush and Malik, 2002; Bailey et al., 2003). The horizontal transmission of LINEs is by far less common compared with DNA transposons and LTR elements; possibly, some LINE families are ...
From a gene-culture evolutionary perspective, the recent rise in obesity rates around the Developed world is unprecedented; perhaps the most rapid population-scale shift in human phenotype ever to occur. Focusing on the recent rise of obesity and diabetes in the United States, we consider the pre...
