What has phage lambda ever done for us?
Shortly after the dawn of biochemical genetics, Escherichia coli K-12 replaced Neurospora crassa as the key model organism. With E. coli K-12 came another, even simpler, system: each bacterial cell contained a dormant virus (bacteriophage) called lambda (λ). Occasionally, the quiescent λ genome was activated to generate free phage particles. Thus it was discovered that phage λ propagates by two...
متن کاملView from the Pennines: What Has Mathematics Done for Us?
I am sometimes astonished at my own ignorance. I can spot a siskin amongst the birds which come up from the valley bottom to feed from the peanut dispenser and recognize the tumbling ight of the lapwings, but I only learned last year that the lungs of birds have a completely di erent arrangement and mechanism from the mammalian lung I had always imagined to be the standard evolutionary solution...
متن کاملWhat has happened to evidence-based medicine?
To the Editor:—We read with great interest the article by Petersen et al., which demonstrated the expected clinical response to the three anesthetic agents studied. An increase in arterial pressure may result in an increase in the cerebral perfusion pressure and reduce reflex cerebral vasodilatation, potentially resulting in reduced intracranial pressure. We note that the mean arterial pressure...
متن کاملWhat has mathematics done for biology?
“What has mathematics done for biology?” is a question that every mathematical biologist has been asked at some time, or has asked themselves. While bioinformatics has been very successful and widely accepted in biology, the acceptance of mathematical biology has been slower. Of course, there are notable exceptions—in ecology and epidemiology there is a long history of mathematical modelling [s...
متن کاملWhat Has Replication Ever Done for Us? Insights from Neuroimaging of Speech Perception
Replication of a previous scientific finding is necessary to verify its truth. Despite the importance of replication, incentive systems in science favor novel findings over reliable ones. Consequently, little effort is devoted to reproducing previous results compared to finding new discoveries. This is particularly true of brain imaging, in which the complexity of study design and analysis, and...
