Effective amplification of long targets from cloned inserts and human genomic DNA.

abstract：:A single animal group can display different types of collective motion at different times. For a one-dimensional individual-based model of self-organizing group formation, we show that repeated switching between distinct ordered collective states can occur entirely because of stochastic effects. We introduce a framewo...
