Effects of binocularity and eye dominance on visually-driven ocular tracking by Kimia Seyedmadani, Kimia Seyedmadani, Keith A. Tucker, Mark R. Anderson, Mark R. Anderson, Yasemin M. Akay, Metin Akay, Leland S. Stone

“…Our primary goal was to examine tracking eye movements in a healthy population under monocular and binocular viewing, as well as to examine the potential effects of line-of-sight eye dominance and spatial/directional tuning.MethodsWe compared the ocular responses of 17 healthy well-rested participants using a radial step-ramp paradigm under three viewing conditions: both-eyes viewing, left-eye viewing, and right-eye viewing.ResultsOur findings revealed that binocular viewing enhanced performance over that during monocular viewing for 11 oculometrics, with eye dominance associated with the selective enhancement of 3 oculometrics of visual motion processing. …”

Deep sequencing of yeast and mouse tRNAs and tRNA fragments using OTTR by Hans Tobias Gustafsson, Lucas Ferguson, Carolina Galan, Tianxiong Yu, Heather Upton, Ebru Kaymak, Zhiping Weng, Kathleen Collins, Oliver J Rando

“…As with other recent tRNA cloning protocols, we find that a subset of nucleotide modifications leave misincorporation signatures in OTTR datasets, enabling their detection without any additional protocol steps. Focusing on tRNA cleavage products, we compare OTTR with several standard small RNA-Seq protocols, finding that OTTR provides the most accurate picture of tRNA fragment levels by comparison to ‘ground truth’ Northern blots. …”
