Triggered saccadic oscillations: case series and review of the literature
Saccadic oscillations (SOs) mostly occur spontaneously, but can be occasionally triggered by various stimuli. To determine clinical characteristics and underlying mechanisms of triggered SOs, we analyzed the c...

One-ninth magnetization plateau stabilized by spin entanglement in a kagome antiferromagnet
The spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a kagome lattice is geometrically frustrated, which is expected to promote the formation of many-body quantum entangled states. The most sought-after among th...

Chromosomal Interaction in Chromatin Organization
Genes are arranged linearly in long DNA strands. Genomic DNA must be packaged tightly to be contained in the nucleus. Studies have shown that chromosomes are folded in an ordered three-dimensional organization...

Mendel’s Principles of Inheritance and the Chromosome Theory
Inheritance is a fundamental feature of all organisms. A critical question is how our genes and traits are transmitted to the next generations. In 1866, Gregor Mendel published the basic principles of inherita...

Non-Mendelian Genetics: Finding of Transposable Elements in Corns and Flies
The essence of Mendelian genetics is the rule of chromosome segregation and the independent assortment of different chromosomes. However, genes on the same chromosome do not obey these rules as they are linked...
