Multiple Sequenzalignments: Welches Programm passt zu meinen Daten?
by Theodor SperleaDieses Buch ist ein praktischer Ratgeber für Biologinnen und Biologen, die Multiple Sequenzalignments (MSAs) für ihre Datenanalysen verwenden und einen verständlichen Überblick über die vielen verschiedenen Programme suchen. Trotz ihres wichtigen Stellenwertes in der Datenanalyse herrscht Unsicherheit unter den Forschenden wie MSA-Programme genau funktionieren - ganz zu schweigen davon, wie und warum die unterschiedlichen Analysen zu verschiedenen Ergebnissen führen. Welches Programm ist für die Auswertung meiner Daten das richtige und wie kann ich sicherstellen, alle relevanten Erkenntnisse aus den Alignments gezogen zu haben? Dieses Buch bietet hilfreiche Erklärungen und Hintergründe ohne große bioinformatische Vorkenntnisse vorauszusetzen und führt die Leserinnen und Leser langsam in die Thematik ein.Im ersten Teil des Buches werden die möglichen Einsatzfelder wie auch die Formate, die üblicherweise von MSA-Programmen produziert werden, im Detail beschrieben. Ebenso werden auf unkomplizierte Weise die zentralen Algorithmen sowie die inneren Abläufe der gängigsten MSA-Programme der Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart in größerer Detailtiefe erklärt. Den zweiten Teil des Buches bildet ein ausführlicher datenbasierter Vergleich zwischen MSA-Programmen, der als Entscheidungshilfe für die Programmauswahl für dein nächstes Alignment dienen soll.
Multisensory Object Perception in the Primate Brain
by Marcus Johannes Naumer Jochen KaiserTraditionally, a large proportion of perceptual research has assumed a specialization of cortical regions for the processing of stimuli in a single sensory modality. Perception in everyday life, however, usually consists of inputs from multiple sensory channels. Recently the question of how the brain integrates multisensory information has become the focus of a growing number of neuroscientific investigations. This work has identified both multisensory integration regions and crossmodal influences in brain areas traditionally thought to be specific to one sensory modality. Furthermore, several factors have been identified that enhance integration such as spatio-temporal stimulus coincidence and semantic congruency. Multisensory Object Perception in the Primate Brain elucidates the mechanisms of multisensory integration of object-related information with a focus on the visual, auditory, and tactile sensory modalities. Evidence is presented in four sections: methodological considerations, audio-visual processing, visuo-tactile processing, and plasticity, and includes studies in both human and nonhuman primates at different levels of analysis. Studies range from intracranial electrophysiological recordings to non-invasive electro- or magnetoencephalography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, behavioral approaches, and computational modeling.
Multivariate Statistical Machine Learning Methods for Genomic Prediction
by José Crossa Osval Antonio Montesinos López Abelardo Montesinos LópezThis book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 licenseThis open access book brings together the latest genome base prediction models currently being used by statisticians, breeders and data scientists. It provides an accessible way to understand the theory behind each statistical learning tool, the required pre-processing, the basics of model building, how to train statistical learning methods, the basic R scripts needed to implement each statistical learning tool, and the output of each tool. To do so, for each tool the book provides background theory, some elements of the R statistical software for its implementation, the conceptual underpinnings, and at least two illustrative examples with data from real-world genomic selection experiments. Lastly, worked-out examples help readers check their own comprehension.The book will greatly appeal to readers in plant (and animal) breeding, geneticists and statisticians, as it provides in a very accessible way the necessary theory, the appropriate R code, and illustrative examples for a complete understanding of each statistical learning tool. In addition, it weighs the advantages and disadvantages of each tool.

Mungo
by Rosalie FryThere comes a time when you've got to let them go free or they'll never learn to look after themselves," old Mrs. Moffatt warned Aunt Hilda. And that was the start of Richie's freedom to roam the wild Scottish coast near the hotel where they were living, for until then Aunt Hilda had been afraid to let him go anywhere alone. Soon Richie found a "special place"--a cliff hidden by overhanging heather, from which he could watch an inlet that he liked to think of as a secret bay. One day, as he lay on top of the cliff, Richie saw an alarmingly long creature stretching out into the sea like a reef of rocks--"like a kind of giant lizard with the longest neck in the world," thought Richie--a silly, friendly smile on its face. This was Mungo, last and gentlest of the ancient sea monsters. Soon Richie learned that Mungo liked to eat sea greens and potato crisps; more important, he noticed that a certain "clong" sound from across the water summoned Mungo out to sea, toward the island of Muckle Craig. In one of Rosalie K. Fry's most entertaining stories, Mungo eventually takes Richie on the greatest adventure of his life.
