The Vertebrate Breed Ontology: Toward Effective Breed Data Standardization.

Journal of veterinary internal medicine
BACKGROUND: Limited universally-adopted data standards in veterinary medicine hinder data interoperability and therefore integration and comparison; this ultimately impedes the application of existing information-based tools to support advancement in...

Moving in an Uncertain World: Robust and Adaptive Control of Locomotion from Organisms to Machine Intelligence.

Integrative and comparative biology
Whether walking, running, slithering, or flying, organisms display a remarkable ability to move through complex and uncertain environments. In particular, animals have evolved to cope with a host of uncertainties-both of internal and external origin-...

Sensory Feedback and Animal Locomotion: Perspectives from Biology and Biorobotics: An Introduction to the Symposium.

Integrative and comparative biology
The successful completion of many behaviors relies on sensory feedback. This symposium brought together researchers using novel techniques to study how different stimuli are encoded, how and where multimodal feedback is integrated, and how feedback m...

XGSA: A statistical method for cross-species gene set analysis.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Gene set analysis is a powerful tool for determining whether an experimentally derived set of genes is statistically significantly enriched for genes in other pre-defined gene sets, such as known pathways, gene ontology terms, or other ex...

Tail use improves performance on soft substrates in models of early vertebrate land locomotors.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
In the evolutionary transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial environment, early tetrapods faced the challenges of terrestrial locomotion on flowable substrates, such as sand and mud of variable stiffness and incline. The morphology and range of mo...
