The threat of erosion of this diversity is a current conservation concern, motivating studies of how diversity can be maintained by in situ conservation measures.
However, recent work has discovered dynamic DNA methylation changes in non-dividing cells including neurons (reviewed in Mill et al. 2008), motivating studies of effects of environmental exposures on epigenetic marks in relation to neurological disorders.
Concurrently, the richness and complexity of the genome has motivated study of the non-coding regions, including: chromosome rearrangement, transcription factor binding sites, repetitive and transposable elements, exon-intron gene structure, comparative genomics and genetic variation, among others.
While religion/Islam, a particularly harsh and distorted version, does play a role to legitimate, recruit, and motivate, studies of most jihadists and movements, like ISIS, show that the primary drivers are to be found elsewhere.
Lamprey and hagfish are two primitive fish at the base the vertebrate line, which has motivated studies of these fish to understand early events in vertebrate evolution [1] [3].
This finding will motivate studies of HDAC regulation in the other members of the family and will frame hypotheses for further study of histone modification in the nucleus.
These diverse lines of evidence implicate GTF2I in human social evolution, and should motivate studies of its human-specific transcriptional targets and the social-behavioral effects of natural variation in expression levels.
The underlying hypothesis motivating studies of CSF is that because CSF is in direct contact with the brain interstitial fluid, serotonin and biochemical changes in the brains of migraine patients may best be reflected in this fluid [147].
This naturally motivates studying the modeling of such dynamics, and designing algorithms that take it into account [19].
This is quite restrictive in applications, hence motivating our study of the weak Caputo derivative.
