Comprehensive Algorithm for Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Sheng Zhao,Russell D. Fernald +1 more
TL;DR: This algorithm provides an objective and noise-resistant method for quantification of qRT-PCR results that is independent of the specific equipment used to perform PCR reactions.

TL;DR: This article found an excess of gene duplications in the East African lineage compared to Nile tilapia and other teleosts, an abundance of non-coding element divergence, accelerated coding sequence evolution, expression divergence associated with transposable element insertions, and regulation by novel microRNAs.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a number of molecular mechanisms shaped East African cichlid genomes, and that amassing of standing variation during periods of relaxed purifying selection may have been important in facilitating subsequent evolutionary diversification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genes and Social Behavior
TL;DR: Progress has been made in identifying and understanding two key “vectors of influence” that link genes, the brain, and social behavior: social information alters gene expression in the brain to influence behavior, and genetic variation influences brain function and socialbehavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
HOW THE BRAIN PROCESSES SOCIAL INFORMATION: Searching for the Social Brain*
TL;DR: Recent studies of four aspects of social information processing are described: perception of social signals via the vomeronasal system, formation of social memory via long-term filial imprinting and short-term recognition, motivation for parental behavior and pair bonding, and the neural consequences of social experience.
