Spadefoot toads fooled biologists for years, and now the species offers new insights on adaptive ...
Spadefoot toads are master "shape-shifters," able to make drastic changes to their form and behavior in response to their environment. They're excellent candidates for research on plasticity in nature, or the ability of an organism to adapt to environmental changes or differences in habitats.

Scalable platforms for generating RNA sensors and controllers
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
DeWitt Stetten, Jr. Lecture
Biosensors are key components in engineered biological systems that interface with the large biochemical space in living cells and their environment. Aptamers, functional nucleic acid molecules that bind ligands, provide a powerful sensing element for many classes of molecules of interest. Although procedures such as SELEX have been quite successful in generating individual aptamers that bind proteins, generating small molecule aptamers has been more challenging due to the need to chemically modify the ligand to permit the recovery of binding seq...

Informatics for Genomics-informed Surveillance of RNA Viruses
NLM Informatics and Data Science Lecture Series
Genomics-informed surveillance is now recognized as an important extension to the monitoring of rapidly evolving pathogens. Next generation sequencing has the ability to produce large amounts of data for tracking viruses of public health importance. Biomedical informatics approaches are able to facilitate the translation of these data into information for public health surveillance. Thus, epidemiologists can identify new outbreaks or monitor the course of a known epidemic by leveraging pathogen sequences (and corresponding metadata) generated from the clinical specimens of si...

Brief Prevention Interventions for Young Adults: Strengthening Effects (Day 2)
College age remains a significant risk period for hazardous/extreme drinking among males and females. Recent data suggests that while drinking patterns are converging across sexes, college-age females are engaging in greater levels of binge drinking. Although brief interventions (BI) designed to reduce alcohol consumption and related harms in college and young adult populations have shown positive effects, the rigor of research on this topic has been impaired by limited outcome measurement, measurement inconsistencies, variability in methodologies, and modest effect sizes. There is a paucity of studies that use comparative...

Pain in Animals Workshop 2019: Cross-species measurement of acute pain (Day 2)
Millions of Americans suffer acute pain every year and use of naturally occurring models of acute pain in animals could contribute to the translational paradigm, and accelerate the discovery of effective, non-opioid analgesic options. However, to do this successfully, we need to be able to accurately measure acute pain in animals.
Additionally, acute pain suffered by all animals is a welfare concern; inadequate pain control can negatively affect the human animal bond; and pain in farm animals may negatively impact the animal ’ s ability to maintain normal productivity. The cost, time, and practical application of analge...
