Exploitation of phylum-spanning omics resources reveals complexity in the nematode FLP signalling system and provides insights into flp-gene evolution by Ciaran J. McCoy, Christopher P. Wray, Laura Freeman, Bethany A. Crooks, Luca Golinelli, Nikki J. Marks, Liesbet Temmerman, Isabel Beets, Louise E. Atkinson, Angela Mousley

“…Our data reveal that: (i) the phylum-spanning flps, flp-1, -8, -14, and − 18, may be representative of the flp profile of the last common ancestor of nematodes; (ii) the majority of parasitic nematodes have a reduced flp complement relative to free-living species; (iii) FLP prepropeptide architecture is variable within and between flp-genes and across nematode species; (iv) FLP prepropeptide signatures facilitate flp-gene discrimination; (v) FLP motifs display variable length, amino acid sequence, and conservation; (vi) CLANS analysis provides insight into the evolutionary history of flp-gene sequelogues and reveals putative flp-gene paralogues and, (vii) flp expression is upregulated in the infective larval stage of several nematode parasites. …”

How do the resting EEG preprocessing states affect the outcomes of postprocessing? by Shiang Hu, Jie Ruan, Pedro Antonio Valdes-Sosa, Zhao Lv

“…Lastly, the association between PaLOSi and varying trends of postprocessing outcomes was analyzed with evolutionary preprocessing states. We found that compared with CE: 1) IPE (EPE) temporal statistics deviated more greatly with more noise injected (brain activities discarded); 2) IPE (EPE) power was higher (lower), and IPE power was almost parallel to that of CE across frequencies, while EPE power deviation decreased with higher frequencies; IPE cross spectra deviated more greatly than EPE, except for β band; 3) derived from 7 coupling measures, IPE (EPE) network had lower (higher) transmission efficiency and worse (better) integration ability; 4) IPE sources distributed more dispersedly with greater strength while EPE sources activated more focally with lower amplitudes; 5) PaLOSi was consistently correlated with varying trends of investigated postprocessing for both simulated and real data. …”
