From tropical forests to gut microbiomes, ecological communities host striking numbers of coexisting species. Beyond high biodiversity, communities exhibit a range of complex dynamics that are difficult to explain under a unified framework. Using bacterial microcosms, we perform the first direct test of theory predicting that simple coarse-grained features dictate emergent behaviors of communities...
Largely via epigenomic mechanisms, environmental factors, social stress, and behavior changes are involved in neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative disease, depression, and autism...
Given that neurotransmitter-dependent neuronal communication provides a basis to realize the function of brain, this organ requires a unique, global and coordinated hydrodynamic system to maintain neurotransmitter homeostasis. In the present study, we characterized a novel aquaporin 4 (AQP4)-dependent fluid regulation system, and developed a set of noninvasive quantitative assessments by MRI...

Recent advances in sequencing technologies promise ultra-long but noisy reads, which requires huge computation resource to calculate pairwise alignment for ultra-long sequence and multiple sequence alignment for correcting the noisy reads...
