I sketch briefly some of the more influential theories concerned with the moral status of
nonhuman animals, highlighting their biological/physiological aspects. I then survey the most …

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is the leading technique for characterizing the
transcriptomes of individual cells in a sample. The latest protocols are scalable to thousands of …

Background Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have emerged as the genetic marker
of choice for mapping disease loci and candidate gene association studies, because of their …

Molecular characterization of cell types using single-cell transcriptome sequencing is
revolutionizing cell biology and enabling new insights into the physiology of human organs. We …

For more than 100 years, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been one of the most
studied model organisms. Here, we present a single-cell atlas of the adult fly, Tabula …

Large-scale surveys of single-cell gene expression have the potential to reveal rare cell
populations and lineage relationships but require efficient methods for cell capture and mRNA …

We describe a high throughput gene expression platform based on microfluidic dynamic
arrays. This system allows 2,304 simultaneous real time PCR gene expression measurements …

This paper assesses the quantitative resolution of qPCR using copy number variation (CNV)
as a paradigm. An error model is developed for real-time qPCR data showing how the …

Aquaculture can have negative environmental impacts, adding to the suite of anthropogenic
stressors that challenge coastal ecosystems. However, a growing body of scientific …

This study explores the relationship between exposure to a comprehensive worksite health
promotion program and health care costs and utilization. The experience of two groups of …
