The paper models phase separation dynamics of SynGAP and PSD-95 in postsynaptic densities using a multicomponent framework to show how association kinetics and interactions affect activity-dependent partitioning.

The paper presents mathematical models of the inspiratory and sigh breathing rhythms in the preBötzinger complex, supporting a single-population rhythmogenic hypothesis.

The paper analyzes TE abundance variance in Mimulus guttatus and Drosophila melanogaster, finding overdispersion and developing a model to explain it through copy-and-paste dynamics.

The paper shows that a single population of preBötzinger complex neurons generates both inspiratory and sigh breathing rhythms through distinct cellular mechanisms, without requiring gliotransmission or synaptic inhibition.

The paper identifies differential gene expression between two types of Dbx1-derived neurons in the preBötzinger complex, linking specific genes to their functional roles in respiratory rhythm generation.

The paper identifies MYB5a as a gene responsible for petal lobe anthocyanin pigmentation in Mimulus luteus var. variegatus and shows its regulatory impact on the MBW network.

The paper investigates the neural mechanisms coupling eupnea and sigh rhythms in the preBotzinger Complex, finding that synaptic inhibition does not enforce their temporal coordination.

The paper introduces a likelihood ratio test to detect changes in homeolog expression bias using RNA-seq data from Mimulus luteus and shows it outperforms alternative methods.

This study investigates genomic imprinting and epigenetic changes in hybrids of Mimulus guttatus and M. luteus, revealing altered methylation and expression patterns that contribute to endosperm-based hybrid incompatibilities.

The paper examines subgenome dominance in polyploids, showing rapid expression dominance and methylation changes across generations in hybrids and allopolyploids.
