Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) in New World Monkeys (Primates) Reveals the Distribution of Repetitive Sequences in Cebinae and Callitrichinae by Vanessa Milioto, Vincenzo Arizza, Aiti Vizzini, Polina L. Perelman, Melody E. Roelke-Parker, Francesca Dumas

“…The distribution of repetitive sequences has been traditionally studied through classical staining methods of cytogenetics. It has been hypothesized that repeats are species-specific and their conservation across closely related species are also common; their role in the genome has been extensively studied even though its role in speciation is not well studied and understood. …”

Gypsum heterogenous nucleation pathways regulated by surface functional groups and hydrophobicity by Yan-Fang Guan, Xiang-Yu Hong, Vasiliki Karanikola, Zhangxin Wang, Weiyi Pan, Heng-An Wu, Feng-Chao Wang, Han-Qing Yu, Menachem Elimelech

“…We report that the rate of gypsum formation is regulated by the surface functional groups and hydrophobicity, in the order of −CH3 > −hybrid > −COOH > −SO3 ≈ − NH3 > − OH. Results based on classical nucleation theory and molecular dynamics simulations reveal that nucleation pathways for hydrophilic surfaces involve surface-induced nucleation, with ion adsorption sites (i.e., functional groups) serving as anchors to facilitate the growth of vertically oriented clusters. …”
