“…This is an effective approach to estimating CB mass ratios without having access to information pertaining to the radial velocity curves (Terrell & Wilson 2005). It has been widely applied (e.g., Chen et al 2016b;Yang et al 2017;Zhou et al 2018). Next, we adopted the standard error given by the W-D code through the Method of Multiple Subsets (MMS) as the uncertainty associated with the relevant derived property (except for q; see Section 4.…”

We present the physical parameters of 2335 late-type contact binary (CB) systems extracted from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS). Our sample was selected from the CSS Data Release 1 by strictly limiting the prevailing temperature uncertainties and light-curve fitting residuals, allowing us to almost eliminate any possible contaminants. We developed an automatic Wilson-Devinney-type code to derive the relative properties of CBs based on their light-curve morphology. By adopting the distances derived from CB (orbital) period-luminosity relations (PLRs), combined with the well-defined massluminosity relation for the systems' primary stars and assuming solar metallicity, we calculated the objects' masses, radii, and luminosities. Our sample of fully eclipsing CBs contains 1530 W-, 710 A-, and 95 B-type CBs. A comparison with literature data and with the results from different surveys confirms the accuracy and coherence of our measurements. The period distributions of the various CB subtypes are different, hinting at a possible evolutionary sequence. W-type CBs are clearly located in a strip in the total mass versus mass ratio plane, while A-type CBs may exhibit a slightly different dependence. There are no significant differences among the PLRs of A-and W-type CBs, but the PLR zero points are affected by their mass ratios and fill-out factors. Determination of zero-point differences for different types of CBs may help us improve the accuracy of the resulting PLRs. We demonstrate that automated approaches to deriving CB properties could be a powerful tool for application to the much larger CB samples expected to result from future surveys.

“…This is often ensured through mutual inhibition of two lineage-determining transcription factors. [54,55] Such a network motif can generate a toggle switch, which can assume two alternative states, where one factor is active and represses the other one and vice versa. [56] In addition, expression of each factor is often stabilized by positive feedback regulation, giving rise to the so-called "extended toggle switch".…”

“…[56] In addition, expression of each factor is often stabilized by positive feedback regulation, giving rise to the so-called "extended toggle switch". [55] In this analogy, the two X chromosomes or factors encoded by them would resemble the two lineage-determining transcription factors, with the important difference that the two chromosomes are identical, making pure mutual inhibition more challenging. The self-assembly model would in principle generate such purely reciprocal inhibition of XCI at the two X chromosomes, because one assembled cluster would act as a sink and thus prevent binding of the factor to the other chromosome ( Figures 2d and 3b, left).…”

X‐chromosome inactivation ensures dosage compensation between the sexes in mammals by randomly choosing one out of the two X chromosomes in females for inactivation. This process imposes a plethora of questions: How do cells count their X chromosome number and ensure that exactly one stays active? How do they randomly choose one of two identical X chromosomes for inactivation? And how do they stably maintain this state of monoallelic expression? Here, different regulatory concepts and their plausibility are evaluated in the context of theoretical studies that have investigated threshold behavior, ultrasensitivity, and bistability through mathematical modeling. It is discussed how a twofold difference between a single and a double dose of X‐linked genes might be converted to an all‐or‐nothing response and how mutually exclusive expression can be initiated and maintained. Finally, candidate factors that might mediate the proposed regulatory principles are reviewed.

“…In addition, with whole genome sequencing, increasing numbers of human-animal reassortants were identified, including equine-like G3P [8], 18 feline-like G3P [8], 19 porcine-like G3P [13], 20 and swine-like G4P [6], 21 suggesting the possibility of interspecies transmission. In China, porcine-like G4P [6], 22 DS-1 like G9P [8] 23 were sporadically found. Therefore, whole-genome analysis is essential to reveal its genetic evolution and viral reassortment characteristics.…”

Human group A rotavirus (RVA) is the leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in children under 5 years old worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the genotype distribution of RVA in the Midwest of China. Sentinel‐based surveillance of acute diarrhea was conducted at Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from 2011 to 2015. RVA was tested by using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays. The partial VP4 genes and VP7 genes of rotavirus were amplified and sequenced, and genotyping and phylogenetic analyses were performed. Among the 2236 stool specimens collected from children with acute gastroenteritis, 681 (30.46%) were positive for RVA. The majority of children (89.28%) who tested positive for RVA were children aged ≤2 years. The seasonal peak of RVA was in the winter. As for genotype, four strain combinations, G9P[8], G3P[8], G1P[8], and G2P[4] contributed to 75.62% (515/681) of the RVA‐associated diarrhea cases. After a marked increase in G9P[8] (30.77%) in 2013, G9P[8] became the predominant genotype in 2014 and 2015, whilst the prevalence of G1P[8] was decreased to 2.72% in 2015. Unusual G‐P combinations (eg, G1P[4], G9P[4], G4P[6], G3P[4], G2P[8]) were also detected sporadically over the study period. Phylogenetic tree analysis results showed that the VP7 sequences of G9 strains were clustered into two main lineages, and 77.34% of them were clustered into lineage VI, with the highest nucleotide similarity to the strain JS12‐17(China). VP4 gene sequences of P[8] strains were almost P[8]‐lineage 3. Substantial temporal variation in the circulation of various genotypes of rotavirus in Chongqing was observed during 2011‐2015, and highlights the need for continuous surveillance of RVA infection for better understanding and control of RVA infection.
