Human development III: Bridging Brain-Mind and Body-Mind. Introduction to “Deep” (Fractal, Poly-Ray) Cosmology by Søren Ventegodt, Tyge Dahl Hermansen, Erik Rald, Trine Flensborg-Madsen, Maj Lyck Nielsen, Birgitte Clausen, Joav Merrick

“…The development of a mind that enables us to handle the outer physical world and survive makes a lot of sense from an evolutionary perspective; the problem is that the mental reason and linear logic reduces all phenomena to well-defined interacting objects, which might not exist from a deeper perspective of reality. …”

Comparative analysis of NR and NiR gene families reveals nitrite formation mechanisms in two Toona species by Yi Wei, Jianhua Dai, Yanru Fan, Hengfu Yin, Jun Liu, Xiaojiao Han

“…The exon–intron structures and conserved motifs of these genes were stringently conserved throughout evolutionary history. All the seven NR and NiR genes in both T. sinensis and T. ciliata harbor various cis-regulatory elements within their promoter sequences, which are associated with development, stress response, and hormonal regulation. …”

Clinically oriented automatic three-dimensional enamel segmentation via deep learning by Wenting Yu, Xinwen Wang, Huifang Yang

“…Abstract Background Establishing accurate, reliable, and convenient methods for enamel segmentation and analysis is crucial for effectively planning endodontic, orthodontic, and restorative treatments, as well as exploring the evolutionary patterns of mammals. However, no mature, non-destructive method currently exists in clinical dentistry to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively assess the integrity and thickness of enamel chair-side. …”

In Silico Exploration of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome <i>mec</i> (SCC<i>mec</i>) Evolution Based on Phylogenetic Relationship of <i>ccrAB/C</i> by Huawei Wang, Jinxing He

“…In addition, whole-genome sequencing-based macro-analysis was unable to provide sufficiently detailed evolutionary information on SCC<i>mec</i>. Herein, the cassette chromosome recombinase genes <i>ccrAB/C</i>, as essential components of SCC<i>mec</i>, were employed to explore the evolution of SCC<i>mec</i>. …”

Slight thermal stress exerts genetic diversity selection at coral (Acropora digitifera) larval stages by Cristiana Manullang, Nozomi Hanahara, Ariyo Imanuel Tarigan, Yuko Abe, Mao Furukawa, Masaya Morita

“…These loci under codon-level positive selection during speciation highlight the potential role of genetic diversity in shaping adaptation to environmental changes over evolutionary timescales. Conclusion These findings underscore the significance of genetic diversity in coral reproduction for maintaining reef ecosystems. …”

Genetic methods in honey bee breeding by M. D. Kaskinova, A. M. Salikhova, L. R. Gaifullina, E. S. Saltykova

“…A method based on the analysis of polymorphisms of the tRNAleu-COII locus and microsatellite nuclear DNA loci has been developed to identify the dark forest bee A. m. mellifera and does not allow one to differentiate subspecies from C (A. m. carnica and A. m. ligustica) and O (A. m. caucasica) evolutionary lineages from each other. The second stage was the assessment of the allelic diversity of the csd gene. …”
