Journal ArticleDOI

A single IGF1 allele is a major determinant of small size in dogs.

TL;DR: A major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 15 influencing size variation within a single breed is identified and marked evidence for a selective sweep spanning a single gene (IGF1), encoding insulin-like growth factor 1 is found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic structure and domestication history of the grape.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the adoption of vegetative propagation was a double-edged sword: Although it provided a benefit by ensuring true breeding cultivars, it also discouraged the generation of unique cultivars through crosses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Observation of the Three-State Folding of a Single Protein Molecule

TL;DR: Force-measuring optical tweezers were used to induce complete mechanical unfolding and refolding of individual Escherichia coli ribonuclease H (RNase H) molecules to map the energy landscape of RNase H.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Small Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the interactions of tiny objects with their environments are dominated by thermal fluctuations, and the authors have begun to study such interactions in detail, guided by theory and assisted by new micromanipulation tools.
