Devil Driving

چکیده
with the actions of evil-spirits, and the symptoms of both low and violent deliriums are considered by the villagers to be the plays of devils only. Various methods of treatment ave in vogue, and at times, resorted to, when a man has the ill-luck to be possessed by a devil. If a man gets seriously ill, just after fishing at night, he is supposed to be possessed by a water devil, which goes by the name of Barshval; and when after keeping night watch over a corn-

Detecting Selection on Temporal and Spatial Scales: A Genomic Time-Series Assessment of Selective Responses to Devil Facial Tumor Disease.
Detecting loci under selection is an important task in evolutionary biology. In conservation genetics detecting selection is key to investigating adaptation to the spread of infectious disease. Loci under selection can be detected on a spatial scale, accounting for differences in demographic history among populations, or on a temporal scale, tracing changes in allele frequencies over time. Here...
متن کاملEvolution of a contagious cancer: epigenetic variation in Devil Facial Tumour Disease.
The emergence of Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), a highly contagious cancer, is driving Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) to extinction. The cancer is a genetically and chromosomally stable clonal cell line which is transmitted by biting during social interactions. In the present study, we explore the Devil Facial Tumour (DFT) epigenome and the genes involved in DNA methylation homeos...
متن کاملImproving Driver Robustness: an Evaluation of the Devil Approach Laurent Réveillère and Gilles Muller
To keep up with the frantic pace at which devices come out, drivers need to be quickly developed, debugged and tested. We have recently introduced a new approach to improve driver robustness based on an Interface Definition Language, named Devil. Devil allows a high-level definition of the communication of a device. A compiler automatically checks the consistency of a Devil specification and ge...

متن کاملReversible epigenetic down-regulation of MHC molecules by devil facial tumour disease illustrates immune escape by a contagious cancer.
Contagious cancers that pass between individuals as an infectious cell line are highly unusual pathogens. Devil facial tumor disease (DFTD) is one such contagious cancer that emerged 16 y ago and is driving the Tasmanian devil to extinction. As both a pathogen and an allograft, DFTD cells should be rejected by the host-immune response, yet DFTD causes 100% mortality among infected devils with n...
