Clustering and Runaway Merging in a Primordial Black Hole Dominated Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Ian Holst, Gordan Krnjaic, Huangyu Xiao, , | Summary: If primordial black holes (PBH) are present in the early universe, their contribution to the energy budget grows relative to that of radiation and generically becomes dominant unless the initial abundance is exponentially small. This black hole domination […]

Robust characterization of selectivity of individual neurons to distinct task-relevant behavioral states using calcium imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Shreesh P. Mysore | Authors: Huixin Huang, Garima Shah, Hita Adwanikar and Shreesh Mysore | Summary: Investigations into the neural basis of behavior have recently employed fluorescence imaging of calcium dynamics in a variety of brain areas to measure neural responses. However, across studies, diverse and seemingly subjective methodological choices have been made […]

Mapping cis- and trans-regulatory target genes of human-specific deletions

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Tyler Fair, Bryan J Pavlovic, Dani Swope, Octavio E Castillo, Nathan K Schaefer and Alex Aaron Pollen | Summary: Deletion of functional sequence is predicted to represent a fundamental mechanism of molecular evolution. Comparative genetic studies of primates have identified thousands of human-specific deletions (hDels), and the cis-regulatory potential […]
