Phylogenetic inference based on protein sequence alignment is a widely used procedure. Numerous phylogenetic algorithms have been developed, most of which have many parameters and options. Choosing a program, options, and parameters can be a nontrivial task.

Article Synopsis
  • - The understanding of how semantic knowledge is encoded and stored in the brain is complex, with various cortical regions involved in processing meaning, particularly the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) and sensorimotor areas linked to different categories of information.
  • - The study utilizes a computational model to explore the role of frontotemporal cortices in word processing and how semantic dementia (SD) affects these abilities, specifically noting that damage in the ATL correlates with decreased word comprehension.
  • - The model aligns with clinical observations, predicting that SD leads to greater impairment in understanding object-related words compared to action-related ones, and highlights that the degradation of white matter has a more severe impact than the loss of gray matter.

Membrane trafficking in interphase animal cells is accomplished mostly along the microtubules. Microtubules are often organized radially by the microtubule-organizing center to coordinate intracellular transport. Along with the centrosome, the Golgi often serves as a microtubule-organizing center, capable of nucleating and retaining microtubules.
