Traits that appear discontinuously along phylogenies may be explained by independent origins (homoplasy) or repeated loss (homology).While discriminating between these models is difficult, the dissection of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) which drive the development of such repeatedly occurring traits can offer a mechanistic window on this fundamen
The relationship between musical and linguistic skills has received particular attention in infants and school-aged children.However, very little is known about pre-schoolers.This leaves a gap in our understanding of the concurrent development of these skills during development.Moreover, attention has been focused on the effects of formal musical t
Avian influenza is a contagious viral disease affecting the respiratory, digestive and nervous system of birds belong to orthomyxovirus family.In the chicken Mx gene, type of amino acid at position 631 determines the antiviral activity against influenza and vesicular stomatitis virus.A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position 2032, responsi
Abstract A distributed ledger is a shared and synchronized database across multiple designated nodes, often referred to as miners, validators, or peers.These nodes record, distribute, and access data to ensure security and transparency.However, these nodes can be compromised and manipulated by selectively choosing which user transactions to include
This paper looks at the doll through the uneasy relationship between "tradition" and "contemporaneity".The traditional doll, both as a concept and as an artefact, belongs to the real world.It is defined as an object, an immobile figure controlled by a child.The traditional doll has no pretensions to be alive, and thus bears little resemblance to a
