Genome Properties of the Diatom

Phaeodactylum tricornutum[w]

Diatoms are a ubiquitous class of microalgae of extreme importance for global primary productivity and for the biogeochemical cycling of minerals such as silica. However, very little is known about diatom cell biology or about their genome structure. For diatom researchers to take advantage of genomics and post-genomics technologies, it is necessary to establish a model diatom species. Phaeodactylum tricornutum is an...

	Neural sequences: deductive principles and rules Functional Neurology ; Summary A neural sequence is set not only by deterministic, but also by chaotic rules. The former are, mainly, recency effects, while the latter intervene in the early stage of the performance. Chaotic-like sequences can be recognized by the presence, within them, of greater variations. Factors
