Open AccessSexual morph specialisation in a trioecious nematode balances opposing selective forces
The coexistence of different mating strategies, whereby a species can reproduce both by selfing and outcrossing, is an evolutionary enigma. Theory predicts two predominant stable mating states: outcrossing wit...

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Protocol for Circadian Clock Proteins
Chromatin immunoprecipitation, or ChIP, is a powerful experimental technique for probing protein-DNA interactions in vivo. This assay can be used to investigate the association of a protein of interest with sp...

Open AccessExploring the use of workplaces to recruit “hard-to-reach” male drinkers to a survey on alcohol use and awareness of health messages
Lower socioeconomic status (SES) groups, particularly lower SES males, are at greater risk of alcohol-related harm than higher SES groups, despite drinking at the same level or less. However, they are rarely r...

Open AccessLiposome-based transfection enhances RNAi and CRISPR-mediated mutagenesis in non-model nematode systems
Nematodes belong to one of the most diverse animal phyla. However, functional genomic studies in nematodes, other than in a few species, have often been limited in their reliability and success. Here we report...

Open AccessMating dynamics in a nematode with three sexes and its evolutionary implications
Nematodes have diverse reproductive strategies, which make them ideal subjects for comparative studies to address how mating systems evolve. Here we present the sex ratios and mating dynamics of the free-livin...

Open AccessDifferential gene expression and alternative splicing in insect immune specificity
Ecological studies routinely show genotype-genotype interactions between insects and their parasites. The mechanisms behind these interactions are not clearly understood. Using the bumblebee Bombus terrestris/try...

Open AccessEffects of varenicline and cognitive bias modification on neural response to smoking-related cues: study protocol for a randomized controlled study
Smoking-related cues can trigger drug-seeking behaviors, and computer-based interventions that reduce cognitive biases towards such cues may be efficacious and cost-effective cessation aids. In order to optimi...

Effects of acute tyrosine/phenylalanine depletion on the selective processing of smoking-related cues and the relative value of cigarettes in smokers
Acute tyrosine/phenylalanine depletion (ATPD) is a validated neurobiological challenge that results in reduced dopaminergic neurotransmission, allowing examination of the effects of a hypodopaminergic state on...

Genomic imprinting and endosperm development in flowering plants
Genomic imprinting, the parent-of-origin-specific expression of genes, plays an important role in the seed development of flowering plants. As different sets of genes are imprinted and hence silenced in matern...
