Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Ben Deen and Winrich A Freiwald | Summary: What is the cognitive and neural architecture for high-level reasoning? We hypothesize that systems for understanding people and places remain separate throughout the brain, but share a parallel organization. We test this hypothesis using deep neuroimaging of individual human brains on […]

Kavli Affiliate: Cori Bargmann | Authors: Javier Marquina-Solis, Elke Vandewyver, Josh Hawk, Daniel Colon-Ramos, Isabel Beets and Cori Bargmann | Summary: Pathogenic infection elicits sickness behaviors that promote recovery and survival of the host. For example, following infection with the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans modifies its sensory preferences to avoid […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ali Brivanlou, Eric Siggia | Authors: Anna Yoney, Lu Bai, Ali H. Brivanlou and Eric D Siggia | Summary: Embryogenesis is guided by a limited set of signaling pathways dynamically expressed in different places. How a context dependent signaling response is generated has been a central question of developmental biology, which can now […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Eric B Zheng and Li Zhao | Summary: De novo gene origination, where a previously non-genic genomic sequence becomes genic through evolution, has been increasingly recognized as an important source of evolutionary novelty across diverse taxa. Many de novo genes have been proposed to be protein-coding, and in several […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Young | Authors: Emily N Gallichotte, Mary Nehring, Sophia Stromberg, Michael C Young, Ashley Snell, Joshua B Daniels, Kristy L. Pabilonia, Sue Vandewoude, Nicole Ehrhart and Gregory D Ebel | Summary: SARS-CoV-2 emerged in 2019 and has resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. Certain populations are at higher risk for infection, especially […]

Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Giulio Formenti, Linelle Abueg, Angelo Brajuka, Nadolina Brajuka, Cristo Gallardo, Alice Giani, Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis | Summary: Motivation With the current pace at which reference genomes are being produced, the availability of tools that can reliably and efficiently generate genome assembly summary statistics has become critical.
