Analysis of the impact of the absence of RAD51 strand exchange activity in Arabidopsis meiosis. by Gunjita Singh, Olivier Da Ines, Maria Eugenia Gallego, Charles I White

“…Although the presence of RAD51 protein provides essential support for the action of DMC1, our results show no significant effect of the absence of RAD51 strand-exchange activity on meiotic crossing-over rates or patterns in different chromosomal regions or across the whole genome of Arabidopsis, strongly supporting the argument that DMC1 catalyses repair of all meiotic DNA breaks, not only non-sister cross-overs.…”

Optimizing dance motion reconstruction using a two-dimensional matrix approach with hybrid genetic and fuzzy logic differential evolution by Lin Wang, Yutong Liu, Yucong Geng, Mohammad Khishe

“…We develop the Two-Dimensional Matrix-Calculation (TDMC) model, combined with the Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with Fuzzy Logic Differential Evolution (HGA-FLDE), which aims to optimize the reconstruction of complex dance movements by leveraging Riemannian geometry and adaptive optimization for biomechanical nonlinear motion patterns and missing joint data. Furthermore, accuracy is achieved through other approaches, such as the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Kinect Sensors (KS), and Evolved Deep Gated Recurrent Unit (EDGRU) models, which were all thoroughly tested against one another. …”
