The mass movement process of the 2017 Xinmo catastrophic landslide was simulated using the discreet element method (DEM).Field investigation indicates that the basal entrainment is a typical feature of this landslide.Hence, the entrained colluvium on the sliding path is considered in the DEM model.According to the terrain elevation data before and
Summary: Background: Continued phenotyping and ongoing molecular epidemiology are important in current and future monitoring of emerging SARS-CoV-2 lineages.Herein we developed pragmatic strategies to track the emergence, spread and phenotype of SARS-CoV-2 variants in Australia in an era of decreasing diagnostic PCR testing and focused cohort-based
Copy number variation through gene or chromosome amplification provides a route for rapid phenotypic variation and supports the long-term evolution of gene functions.Although the evolutionary importance of copy-number variation is known, little is understood about how genetic background influences its tolerance.Here, we measured fitness costs of ov
