TL;DR: The results reveal that spiders and scorpions are likely the descendants of a polyploid ancestor that lived more than 450 MYA, and this study of the ancient WGD event in Arachnopulmonata provides a new comparative platform to explore common and divergent evolutionary outcomes ofpolyploidization events across eukaryotes.
Abstract: Background: The duplication of genes can occur through various mechanisms and is thought to make a major contribution to the evolutionary diversification of organisms. There is increasing evidence ...

TL;DR: The results suggest that inhibition of SRGAP2 function by its human-specific paralogs has contributed to the evolution of the human neocortex and plays an important role during human brain development.

TL;DR: The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) as discussed by the authors is the main sounding component of EUMETSAT's Metop-A satellite, which was launched in October 2006.
Abstract: Four years after launch, IASI has delivered significant advances in remote sensing capability for numerical weather prediction and atmospheric composition monitoring and promises an excellent dataset for climate studies. The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) forms the main infrared sounding component of EUMETSAT's Metop-A satellite (Klaes et al., 2007), which was launched in October 2006. This article presents the results of the first four years of the operational IASI mission. The performance of the instrument is shown to be exceptional in terms of calibration and stability the quality of the data has allowed the rapid use of the observations in operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) and the development of new products for atmospheric chemistry and climate studies, some of which were unexpected before launch. The assimilation of IASI observations in NWP models provides significant forecast impact; in most cases the impact has been shown to be at least as large as for any previous instrument. In atmospheric chemistry, global distributions of gases such as ozone and carbon monoxide can be produced in near-real time, and short-lived species such as ammonia or methanol can be mapped, allowing identification of new sources. The data have also shown the ability to track the location and chemistry of gaseous plumes and particles associated with volcanic eruptions and fires, providing valuable data for air quality monitoring and aircraft safety. IASI also contributes to the establishment of robust long term data records of several essential climate variables. The suite of products being developed from IASI continues to expand as the data are investigated, and further impacts are expected from increased use of the data in NWP and climate studies in the coming years. The instrument has set a high standard for future operational hyperspectral infrared sounders, and demonstrated that such instruments have a vital role in the global observing system.

TL;DR: The first complete nuclear mass table, HFBCS-1, was presented in this article based on the Hartree-Fock-BCS. The force used, MSk7, is a 10-parameter Skyrme force, along with a 4parameter δ-function pairing force and a 2-dimensional phenomenological Wigner term.
