TL;DR: A survey of genetic diversity in maize found hundreds of selective sweeps and highly differentiated regions that probably contain loci that are key to geographic adaptation and provide a foundation for uniting breeding efforts across the world and for dissecting complex traits through genome-wide association studies.

TL;DR: It is proposed that virulence in this organism is both multifactorial and combinatorial, the result of a pool of pathogenicity-related genes that interact in various combinations in different genetic backgrounds.

TL;DR: Given that the majority of the biological and human health variables remained stable, or returned to baseline, after a 340-day space mission, these data suggest that human health can be mostly sustained over this duration of spaceflight.

TL;DR: This study provides a broad foundation for cross-platform standardization, evaluation and improvement of RNA-seq, showing high intraplatform and inter-platform concordance for expression measures across the deep-count platforms, but highly variable efficiency and cost for splice junction and variant detection between all platforms.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the TTSS present in some pathogenic strains of non-O1,non-O139 V. cholerae may be involved in the virulence and environmental fitness of these strains.
