（承前）3. バランス的に、多くの機構は単純でエネルギー効率が良く処理されていて、ロングテールとして複雑な機構が他数ある。エネルギー使用や効率がスケールフリー分布か対数正規分布に乗るなら（僕は乗りそうな直感がある）、３である可能性が結構あって、まさにこれが僕の今の不安に直結する。
結局ね、そういう『複雑』な細胞内制御の新機構を報告する論文って、それがあたかもセントラルドグマを覆す重大な作用機構で、普遍的かつ網羅的に効いている、という論調のものが多いんだけど、それが気にくわないんだと思う。それはハブなのか、ロングテールなのか。
生命システムには、要素（広義の遺伝子）、要素間相互作用、要素のパラメータがあり、選択圧はそれぞれにかかるが、生物にとっての変化コストは要素＞相互作用＞パラメータだが、おそらく変化によって系に与えうる影響もこの逆なので、どこまでがパラメータやリワイヤリングで対応しうるのか、が課題。
□ n0rr:
@gaou_ak また、微生物やカビなどの単細胞生物でも普遍的に複雑な機構を持っていることは、１個体あたり利用可能なエネルギー量を考えますと持ち過ぎであり、これが機構の希少さを示すのではないかと思います。

微生物はわりとシステムのパラメータと仕組みの両方が準安定っぽいかも。多細胞生物が持つ高次機能 (組織や器官など)は、ad hoc なシステムもたくさんありそう。

Funding troubles for evolution and ecology
Some fields, notably molecular and systems biology, frequently deliver little but cost enormous amounts, and I think that many, probably the majority, of evolutionary ecologists would be happy to have more grants funded but the total amount per grant to be capped. This seems to me to be a more intelligent funding scheme too because no one, absolutely no one knows where the next big idea or breakthrough will appear and so spreading the dollars across groups makes sense...

Biogeography Revisited with Network Theory: Retracing the History of Hydrothermal Vent Communities ff.im/OyrcR
生物地理学をネットワーク理論で再構築する
Besides the identification of robust provinces, the network topology allowed us to identify preferential pathways that had hitherto been overlooked. These pathways are consistent with the previously proposed hypothesis of a role of plate tectonics in the biogeographical history of hydrothermal vent communities.
A possible ancestral position of the Western Pacific is also suggested for the first time. Finally, this work provides an innovative example of the potential of network tools to unravel the biogeographic history of faunal assemblages and to supply comprehensive information for the conservation and management of biodiversity.

The Ontology of Clinical Research (OCRe) is a formal ontology for describing human studies that provides methods for binding to external information standards (e.g. BRIDG) and clinical terminologies (e.g. SNOMED CT). It allows the indexing of research studies across multiple study designs, interventions/exposures, outcomes, and health conditions.
With such indexing, investigators interested in the evidence pertaining to a particular question (e.g., what is the effect of A on B in people with C) will be able to locate relevant research studies more easily across disparate data sources. The ontology was developed using Protégé 4 beta.

In quantitative mass spectrometry based proteomics, the metabolic incorporation of a single source of 15N-labeled nitrogen has many advantages over using stable isotope-labeled amino acids. However, the lack of a robust computational framework for analyzing the resulting spectra has impeded wide use of this approach.
We have addressed this challenge by introducing a new computational methodology for analyzing 15N spectra in which quantification is integrated with identification. Application of this method to an Escherichia coli growth transition reveals significant improvement in quantification accuracy over previous methods.

Simple coarse-grained models of protein folding can describe some natural features of evolving proteins but are currently not accurate enough to use in evolutionary inference. This is partly due to improper packing of the hydrophobic core. We suggest possible improvements on the representation of structure, folding energy, and binding function, as regards both native and non-native conformations, and describe a large number of possible applications for such a model.

Advances in next-generation sequencing have reshaped the landscape of genomic and epigenomic research. Large consortia such as the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, the Roadmap Epigenomics Mapping Consortium and The Cancer Genome Atlas have generated tens of thousands of sequencing-based genome-wide datasets, creating a reference and resource for the scientific community.
Small groups of researchers now can rapidly obtain huge volumes of genomic data, which need to be placed in the context of the consortium data for comparison. These data are often accompanied by rich metadata describing the sample and experiment, which is critical for their interpretation. Visualizing, navigating and interpreting such data in a meaningful way is a daunting challenge.
