Playing hide and seek with primates: A comparative study of Theory of Mind by Aurore San‑Galli, Marie Devaine, Cinzia Trapanese, Shelly Masi, Sébastien Bouret, Jean Daunizeau

“…The main novelty of our experimental approach is to estimate each primate’s ToM sophistication from its performance in repeated interactive games that are calibrated using information theoretic models of (artificial) recursive ToM. We first validated our model in human subjects and then tested 6 species of captive non-human primates (3 species of great apes: orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and 3 species of old-world monkeys: lion-tailed macaques, rhesus macaques and collared mangabeys) in an adaptation of the task used in the human study. …”

Engineering a live-attenuated porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus vaccine to prevent RNA recombination by rewiring transcriptional regulatory sequences by Liwei Li, Jinxia Chen, Zhengda Cao, Ziqiang Guo, Jiachen Liu, Yanjun Zhou, Guangzhi Tong, Fei Gao

“…A recombination-resistant genome was engineered by rewiring the entire transcriptional regulatory sequence (TRS) circuit of the live PRRSV vaccine strain. Theoretically, after clinical application, once the virus recombines with the genome of the epidemic strain, the base pairing between the two sets of TRS circuits should be disrupted, resulting in a fatal genetic trap for the generation of an RNA recombinant progeny virus. …”
