TL;DR: This article summarized the major approaches for reconstructing CO2 based on either geochemical or paleobotanical data, and synthesized the CO2 variations throughout the Cretaceous period.

TL;DR: Based on analyses of 66 plant assemblages, carefully selected from 37 fossil sites throughout China, Wang et al. as discussed by the authors reported the first large-scale quantitative climatic results and discuss the Eocene climatic patterns in China.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper examined five selected previously proposed aridity indices (AIs), in which the climatic variables involved, including both precipitation and temperature, are simple and likely available in studies of paleoclimatology and paleoecology, although with different degrees of uncertainty.

TL;DR: 3DSNP is an integrated database for annotating human noncoding variants by exploring their roles in the distal interactions between genes and regulatory elements and provides informative visualization tools to display the integrated local and 3D chromatin signatures and the genetic associations among variants.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the primary data from these disciplines and reinterpret their climate significances to revisit the East Asian climate pattern during the Paleogene is presented, which is highly in agreement with the evidence from floras, faunas, basin analyses, and modeling experiments, and well explicates the paleogene climate distribution and seasonal dynamics of East Asia.
