We will discuss about "The 103,200-arm acceleration dataset in the UK Biobank revealed a landscape of human sleep phenotypes", Katori et al., PNAS, 2022. Abstract: Human sleep phenotypes can be defined and diversified by both genetic and environmental factors. However, some sleep phenotypes are difficult to evaluate without long-term, precise sleep monitoring, for which simple …

We will discuss about "Optimizing Oscillators for Specific Tasks Predicts Preferred Biochemical Implementations", Agrahar and  Rust., bioRxiv, 2022. Abstract: Oscillatory processes are used throughout cell biology to control time-varying physiology including the cell cycle, circadian rhythms, and developmental patterning. It has long been understood that free-running oscillations require feedback loops where the activity of one …
