Epigenetic changes do not alter the genetic code itself, but by changing how DNA is organized within the cell, epigenetic ...

"The phrase artificial intelligence is a marketing term that is used to sprinkle some magic fairy dust that brings the ...

This valuable study investigates how stochastic and deterministic factors are integrated during cellular decision-making, particularly in situations where cells differentiate into distinct fates ...

Flowers may grow with perfect symmetry, but new research from Cornell University reveals that their gene activity is ...

Abstract: Stochastic variation in the level of protein among cells of the same population is ubiquitous across cell types and organisms. These random variations are a consequence of low-copy numbers, ...

Complex traits are influenced by genes and the environment, but especially the latter is difficult to pin down. This important study uses C. elegans to demonstrate that non-genetic differences in gene ...

Indeed, if the uncertainty is great enough, the optimal level of reserves can exceed the cutoff for abundant reserves under no uncertainty. That is, uncertainty can imply that it is optimal to supply ...

This variation may cause increased operating costs for committing costly reserve units or penalty costs for shedding load. In addition, it is often desired to charge/discharge and coordinate the ...

In uncertainty analyses, we accounted for model (structural), parameter, and stochastic uncertainty. Model uncertainty is uncertainty in structural features of the model, such as whether schistosome ...

Using various ground-based and space telescopes, an international team of astronomers has observed a highly variable young ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...
