ATONAL- AND ACHAETE-SCUTE-RELATED GENES IN THE ANNELID PLATYNEREIS DUMERILII: INSIGHTS INTO THE EVOLUTION OF NEURAL BASIC-HELIX-LOOP-HELIX GENES

atonal- and achaete-scute-related genes in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii: insights into the evolution of neural basic-Helix-Loop-Helix genes

Abstract Background Functional studies in model organisms, such as vertebrates and Drosophila, have shown that basic Helix-loop-Helix (bHLH) proteins have important roles in different steps of neurogenesis, from the acquisition of neural fate to the differentiation into specific neural cell types.However, these studies highlighted many differences

A novel spreading dynamic based on adoption against the trend

In the spreading dynamics of previous fashion trends, adoption researchers have neglected to consider that some individuals may behave differently from popular tendencies, which is called opposite-trend adoption Medical Thermometers behavior.To explore the dissemination mechanisms of the behavior, we first establish the adoption-against-trend model
