The data sets are very large: with more than 75 permanent forest dynamics plots in 29 countries worldwide, the Forest Global Earth Observatory network (ForestGEO) of the Smithsonian Tropical Research ...

The spatial distribution of tree species in species-rich tropical forests is highly complex. The figure shows the spatial position, species identity (color) and size of individual trees in a 500 m × ...

The reason why so many tree species can coexist in species-rich forests has long been a subject of debate in ecology. This question is key to understanding the mechanisms governing the dynamics and ...

Early detection and molecular characterization of disease progression are persistent challenges in modern medicine. Although genomic and transcriptomic profiling of tissue lesions and precursors has ...

The omics era is in large part defined by a shift from the old target-of-interest days to an unbiased, discovery-first mindset: from a few genes to the whole genome, from a couple of proteins to the ...
