Pre-mRNA splicing in plants: characterization of Ser/Arg splicing factors.

abstract：:The ability to intercept uncooperative targets is key to many diverse flight behaviors, from courtship to predation. Previous research has looked for simple geometric rules describing the attack trajectories of animals, but the underlying feedback laws have remained obscure. Here, we use GPS loggers and onboard video ...
