Autonomics: In search of a foundation for next-generation autonomous systems.

abstract：:Compared with understanding of biological shape and form, knowledge is sparse regarding what regulates growth and body size of a species. For example, the genetic and physiological causes of heterosis (hybrid vigor) have remained elusive for nearly a century. Here, we investigate gene-expression patterns underlying gr...
