Identification and manipulation of the molecular determinants influencing poliovirus recombination. by Charles Runckel, Oscar Westesson, Raul Andino, Joseph L DeRisi

“…Here, we utilize gene synthesis and deep sequencing to create a detailed recombination map of the poliovirus 1 coding region. We identified over 50 thousand breakpoints throughout the genome, and we show the majority of breakpoints to be concentrated in a small number of specific "hotspots," including those associated with known or predicted RNA secondary structures. …”

Beyond Words: The Significance of Phatic Communication in Instant Messaging by Alexandra Monica TOMA

“… Despite its non-informative nature, phatic communication is not a residual, peripheral category without significance, as expressing denotation is not the sole goal for coding and decoding messages. People engaging in phatic talk are not just shallowly conversing out of boredom, but attempting to navigate an intricate web of social bonds, adapt, connect, and negotiate their relations. …”
