Unselfish meiotic drive maintains heterozygosity in a parthenogenetic ant

Posted by klaurent Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Kip D Lacy, Taylor Hart and Daniel J.C. Kronauer | Summary: According to Mendel’s second law, chromosomes segregate randomly in meiosis. Non-random segregation is primarily known for cases of selfish meiotic drive in females, in which particular alleles bias their own transmission into the oocyte1,2. Here, we report a […]

How the Galaxy-Halo Connection Depends on Large-Scale Environment

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: John F. Wu, Christian Kragh Jespersen, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: We investigate the connection between galaxies, dark matter halos, and their large-scale environments at $z=0$ with Illustris TNG300 hydrodynamic simulation data. We predict stellar masses from subhalo properties to test two types of machine […]

Ephemeris Matching Reveals False Positive Validated and Candidate Planets from the K2 Mission

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Drake A. Lehmann, Andrew Vanderburg, , , | Summary: Data from the Kepler space telescope have led to the discovery of thousands of planet candidates. Most of these candidates are likely to be real exoplanets, but a significant number of false positives still contaminate the sample, especially […]

CHIME/FRB Outriggers: KKO Station System and Commissioning Results

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Adam E. Lanman, Shion Andrew, Mattias Lazda, Vishwangi Shah, Mandana Amiri | Summary: Localizing fast radio bursts (FRBs) to their host galaxies is an essential step to better understanding their origins and using them as cosmic probes. The CHIME/FRB Outrigger program aims to add VLBI-localization capabilities […]
