The Tree of Life - Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes

37.9K
The “tree of life” describes the evolution of life and the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The root of the tree is the common ancestor to all life on Earth. All other species radiate from this point, much like the branches of a tree. The numerous tips of these branches on the tree of life represent every living, or extant, species. Extinct species, which are species that no longer exist, can be found towards the center of the tree. Currently, these organisms, both...

Survival Tree01:19

Survival Tree

393
Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

The Bronchial Tree

6.3K
The human bronchi and bronchial tree play a crucial role in the respiratory system, facilitating the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Let's delve into the intricate structure and functions of these respiratory components.
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...

Phylogenetic Trees

49.2K
Phylogenetic trees come in many forms. It matters in which sequence the organisms are arranged from the bottom to the top of the tree, but the branches can rotate at their nodes without altering the information. The lines connecting individual nodes can be straight, angled, or even curved.

Background:

  • Wood's primary components are lignin and polysaccharides.
  • Lignin is a recalcitrance factor in woody biomass processing.
  • Polysaccharides are valuable for pulp, paper, and sugars.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review efforts in engineering lignin in forest trees.
  • To compare greenhouse and field trial results.
  • To address CRISPR gene editing for lignin engineering and tree breeding.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing research on lignin engineering in trees.
  • Comparison of results from controlled (greenhouse) and natural (field) environments.
  • Analysis of CRISPR-Cas9 applications in modifying lignin content and composition.

Main Results:

  • Significant research has focused on reducing biomass recalcitrance through lignin modification.
  • Greenhouse and field trials show varied but promising results in altering lignin.
  • CRISPR technology offers precise gene editing for targeted lignin improvements.
