Abstract: Transposable elements (TEs) heavily influence genome size variation between organisms. A new study on larvacean tunicates now shows that even non-autonomous TEs - small TEs that parasitize the enzymatic machinery of large, autonomous TEs -… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s0021894417040046
Abstract: This paper studies the evolution of small perturbations in the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the radial flow of a flat ring filled with a homogeneous Newtonian fluid or an ideal incompressible fluid. When the… read more here.
