The design of experiments for the transcriptome studies by high-throughput sequencing methods by P. N. Menshanov, N. N. Dygalo

“…For mammals, the optimal limit of the sequencing depth for the identification of the actively transcribed genes is equal to ~ 2 × 109 bp per biological sample. For other species, the optimal limit of the sequencing depth per biological sample is determined similarly for mammals; however, the transcriptome size and the mean RNA content in the studied object should be taken into account, in comparison to the mammalian transcriptomes. …”

Innovative zero-valent cobalt decoration on MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD for high-efficiency and reusable cr(VI) removal by Eman M. Abd El-Monaem, Nouf Al Harby, Mervette El Batouti, Abdelazeem S. Eltaweil

“…The kinetic and isotherms assessments denoted the contribution of the physical and chemical adsorption pathways in adsorbing the Cr(VI) species onto ZVCo-MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD. In addition, the XPS spectra and zeta potential results supposed that the process inside the Cr(VI)/ZVCo-MIL-88 A(Fe)@β-CD system proceeded through reduction reaction, coordination bonds, electrostatic interactions, and pore-filling mechanisms.…”

Mechanical problem solving by plush-crested jays: are tools special after all? by Jimena Lois-Milevicich, Lauriane Rat-Fischer, María Alicia de la Colina, Raúl Orencio Gómez, Juan Carlos Reboreda, Alex Kacelnik

“…Abstract Tool use is taxonomically associated with high behavioural flexibility and innovativeness, and its prevalence is greater in primates and some bird species. This association, however, is not known to be causally determinant of tool-related competence since flexibility and innovativeness are often observed in the absence of tool use and vice versa. …”
