How actin filaments and microtubules steer growth cones to their targets.
Guidance molecules steer growth cones to their targets by attracting or repelling them. Turning in a new direction requires remodeling of the growth cone and bending of the axon. This depends upon reorganization of actin filaments and microtubules, which are the primary cytoskeletal components of growth cones. This article discusses how these cytoskeletal components induce turning. The importan...
متن کاملSWORD - a highly efficient protein database search
MOTIVATION Protein database search is one of the fundamental problems in bioinformatics. For decades, it has been explored and solved using different exact and heuristic approaches. However, exponential growth of data in recent years has brought significant challenges in improving already existing algorithms. BLAST has been the most successful tool for protein database search, but is also becom...
متن کاملHow DNA-repair proteins find their targets.
G enomic DNA is subject to damage at such high frequencies that only with efficient DNArepair pathways genomic stability is maintained. Research efforts of many groups over several decades have revealed the salient properties of the various DNA-repair mechanisms, but it has largely remained unclear how damage sites are localized in genomic DNA. In PNAS, Gorman et al. (1) unveil insights into th...
متن کاملSearch for multiple targets: remember the targets, forget the search.
Models of visual search performance typically assume that search proceeds by sampling without replacement. This requires memory for each deployment of attention. We tested this assumption of memory-driven search using a multiple-target search paradigm. We held total set size constant, varied the number of targets in the display, and asked subjects to report whether or not there were at least n ...
متن کاملHow do children reformulate their search queries?
Introduction. This paper investigates techniques used by children in year 4 (age eight to nine) of a UK primary school to reformulate their queries, and how they use information retrieval systems to support query reformulation. Method. An indepth study analysing the interactions of twelve children carrying out search tasks in a primary school lesson; including observations, search recordings, ...
