THE CONTRIBUTION OF MOSAIC VARIANTS TO AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER.

The Contribution of Mosaic Variants to Autism Spectrum Disorder.

De novo mutation is highly implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).However, the contribution of post-zygotic mutation to ASD is poorly characterized.We performed both exome sequencing of paired samples and analysis of de novo variants from whole-exome sequencing of 2,388 families.While we find little evidence for tissue-specific mosaic mutatio

Dynamics of ecosystem services along ecological network seascapes

Human societies depend on services provided by ecosystems, from local needs such as clean water and pest control to global services like the ozone layer and the ocean biological pump.Ecosystem services are linked to the states of the ecosystem, which are, in turn, governed by a web of ecological interactions.These interactions, along with the servi
