Evolving together

Striking example of avatars evolving together among local communities.

An ‘avatar’ is a local population of a species in a local community; it is the local embodiment of the group – the tangible representative that interacts with avatars of other species (Damuth, 1985). In this issue of New Phytologist, Anderson & Johnson (pp. 533–540) report on a striking story of avatars evolving under the influence of one another in diverging communities. Previously, Anderson &...

Evolving together: the biology of symbiosis, part 2.

Symbiotic trade-offs dominate the world of biology and medicine in colonist-host relationships and between separate, mutually dependent organisms of different species. Infectious and parasitic diseases can be better understood by exploring the dynamic continuum between pathogenicity and mutualism, between antagonism and cooperation-the sliding scale along which microorganisms can move in a mome...

Hierarchical Evolving Trees Together with Global and Local Learning for Large Datasets in Maldi Imaging

The analysis of very large sets of data with multiple thousand measurements is an increasing problem. Highthroughput approaches in the life science lead to large amounts of data which need to be analyzed by data mining approaches. Focusing on clustering and visualization approaches a common problem are very large similarity matrices. Standard techniques suffer from memory and runtime limitation...
