  text: Eukaryotic cytosine methylation represses transcription but also occurs in
    the bodies of active genes, and the extent of methylation biology conservation
    is unclear. We quantified DNA methylation in 17 eukaryotic genomes and found that
    gene body methylation is conserved between plants and animals, whereas selective
    methylation of transposons is not. We show that methylation of plant transposons
    in the CHG context extends to green algae and that exclusion of histone H2A.Z
    from methylated DNA is conserved between plants and animals, and we present evidence
    for RNA-directed DNA methylation of fungal genes. Our data demonstrate that extant
    DNA methylation systems are mosaics of conserved and derived features, and indicate
    that gene body methylation is an ancient property of eukaryotic genomes.

  text: 'Cytosine methylation silences transposable elements in plants, vertebrates,
    and fungi but also regulates gene expression. Plant methylation is catalyzed by
    three families of enzymes, each with a preferred sequence context: CG, CHG (H
    = A, C, or T), and CHH, with CHH methylation targeted by the RNAi pathway. Arabidopsis
    thaliana endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the embryo, is globally
    hypomethylated in the CG context while retaining high non-CG methylation. Global
    methylation dynamics in seeds of cereal crops that provide the bulk of human nutrition
    remain unknown. Here, we show that rice endosperm DNA is hypomethylated in all
    sequence contexts. Non-CG methylation is reduced evenly across the genome, whereas
    CG hypomethylation is localized. CHH methylation of small transposable elements
    is increased in embryos, suggesting that endosperm demethylation enhances transposon
    silencing. Genes preferentially expressed in endosperm, including those coding
    for major storage proteins and starch synthesizing enzymes, are frequently hypomethylated
    in endosperm, indicating that DNA methylation is a crucial regulator of rice endosperm
    biogenesis. Our data show that genome-wide reshaping of seed DNA methylation is
    conserved among angiosperms and has a profound effect on gene expression in cereal
    crops.'

  text: "Weighted automata are finite automata with numerical weights on transitions.
    Nondeterministic weighted automata define quantitative languages L that assign
    to each word w a real number L(w) computed as the maximal value of all runs over
    w, and the value of a run r is a function of the sequence of weights that appear
    along r. There are several natural functions to consider such as Sup, LimSup,
    LimInf, limit average, and discounted sum of transition weights.\r\nWe introduce
    alternating weighted automata in which the transitions of the runs are chosen
    by two players in a turn-based fashion. Each word is assigned the maximal value
    of a run that the first player can enforce regardless of the choices made by the
    second player. We survey the results about closure properties, expressiveness,
    and decision problems for nondeterministic weighted automata, and we extend these
    results to alternating weighted automata.\r\nFor quantitative languages L 1 and
    L 2, we consider the pointwise operations max(L 1,L 2), min(L 1,L 2), 1 − L 1,
    and the sum L 1 + L 2. We establish the closure properties of all classes of alternating
    weighted automata with respect to these four operations.\r\nWe next compare the
    expressive power of the various classes of alternating and nondeterministic weighted
    automata over infinite words. In particular, for limit average and discounted
    sum, we show that alternation brings more expressive power than nondeterminism.\r\nFinally,
    we present decidability results and open questions for the quantitative extension
    of the classical decision problems in automata theory: emptiness, universality,
    language inclusion, and language equivalence."

  text: The synthesis of a reactive system with respect to all omega-regular specification
    requires the solution of a graph game. Such games have been extended in two natural
    ways. First, a game graph can be equipped with probabilistic choices between alternative
    transitions, thus allowing the, modeling of uncertain behaviour. These are called
    stochastic games. Second, a liveness specification can he strengthened to require
    satisfaction within all unknown but bounded amount of time. These are called finitary
    objectives. We study. for the first time, the, combination of Stochastic games
    and finitary objectives. We characterize the requirements on optimal strategies
    and provide algorithms for Computing the maximal achievable probability of winning
    stochastic games with finitary parity or Street, objectives. Most notably the
    set of state's from which a player can win with probability . for a finitary parity
    objective can he computed in polynomial time even though no polynomial-time algorithm
    is known in the nonfinitary case.

  text: 'A stochastic game is a two-player game played oil a graph, where in each
    state the successor is chosen either by One of the players, or according to a
    probability distribution. We Survey Stochastic games with limsup and liminf objectives.
    A real-valued re-ward is assigned to each state, and the value of all infinite
    path is the limsup (resp. liminf) of all rewards along the path. The value of
    a stochastic game is the maximal expected value of an infinite path that call
    he achieved by resolving the decisions of the first player. We present the complexity
    of computing values of Stochastic games and their subclasses, and the complexity,
    of optimal strategies in such games. '

  text: "Most specification languages express only qualitative constraints. However,
    among two implementations that satisfy a given specification, one may be preferred
    to another. For example, if a specification asks that every request is followed
    by a response, one may prefer an implementation that generates responses quickly
    but does not generate unnecessary responses. We use quantitative properties to
    measure the “goodness” of an implementation. Using games with corresponding quantitative
    objectives, we can synthesize “optimal” implementations, which are preferred among
    the set of possible implementations that satisfy a given specification.\r\nIn
    particular, we show how automata with lexicographic mean-payoff conditions can
    be used to express many interesting quantitative properties for reactive systems.
    In this framework, the synthesis of optimal implementations requires the solution
    of lexicographic mean-payoff games (for safety requirements), and the solution
    of games with both lexicographic mean-payoff and parity objectives (for liveness
    requirements). We present algorithms for solving both kinds of novel graph games."

  text: Gist is a tool that (a) solves the qualitative analysis problem of turn-based
    probabilistic games with ω-regular objectives; and (b) synthesizes reasonable
    environment assumptions for synthesis of unrealizable specifications. Our tool
    provides efficient implementations of several reduction based techniques to solve
    turn-based probabilistic games, and uses the analysis of turn-based probabilistic
    games for synthesizing environment assumptions for unrealizable specifications.

  text: 'We study observation-based strategies for partially-observable Markov decision
    processes (POMDPs) with omega-regular objectives. An observation-based strategy
    relies on partial information about the history of a play, namely, on the past
    sequence of observa- tions. We consider the qualitative analysis problem: given
    a POMDP with an omega-regular objective, whether there is an observation-based
    strategy to achieve the objective with probability 1 (almost-sure winning), or
    with positive probability (positive winning). Our main results are twofold. First,
    we present a complete picture of the computational complexity of the qualitative
    analysis of POMDPs with parity objectives (a canonical form to express omega-regular
    objectives) and its subclasses. Our contribution consists in establishing several
    upper and lower bounds that were not known in literature. Second, we present optimal
    bounds (matching upper and lower bounds) on the memory required by pure and randomized
    observation-based strategies for the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with parity
    objectives and its subclasses.'

  text: "Sex and recombination have long been seen as adaptations that facilitate
    natural selection by generating favorable variations. If recombination is to aid
    selection, there must be negative linkage disequilibria—favorable alleles must
    be found together less often than expected by chance. These negative linkage disequilibria
    can be generated directly by selection, but this must involve negative epistasis
    of just the right strength, which is not expected, from either experiment or theory.
    Random drift provides a more general source of negative associations: Favorable
    mutations almost always arise on different genomes, and negative associations
    tend to persist, precisely because they shield variation from selection.\r\n\r\nWe
    can understand how recombination aids adaptation by determining the maximum possible
    rate of adaptation. With unlinked loci, this rate increases only logarithmically
    with the influx of favorable mutations. With a linear genome, a scaling argument
    shows that in a large population, the rate of adaptive substitution depends only
    on the expected rate in the absence of interference, divided by the total rate
    of recombination. A two-locus approximation predicts an upper bound on the rate
    of substitution, proportional to recombination rate.\r\n\r\nIf associations between
    linked loci do impede adaptation, there can be substantial selection for modifiers
    that increase recombination. Whether this can account for the maintenance of high
    rates of sex and recombination depends on the extent of selection. It is clear
    that the rate of species-wide substitutions is typically far too low to generate
    appreciable selection for recombination. However, local sweeps within a subdivided
    population may be effective."

  text: There is a close analogy between statistical thermodynamics and the evolution
    of allele frequencies under mutation, selection and random drift. Wright's formula
    for the stationary distribution of allele frequencies is analogous to the Boltzmann
    distribution in statistical physics. Population size, 2N, plays the role of the
    inverse temperature, 1/kT, and determines the magnitude of random fluctuations.
    Log mean fitness, View the MathML source, tends to increase under selection, and
    is analogous to a (negative) energy; a potential function, U, increases under
    mutation in a similar way. An entropy, SH, can be defined which measures the deviation
    from the distribution of allele frequencies expected under random drift alone;
    the sum View the MathML source gives a free fitness that increases as the population
    evolves towards its stationary distribution. Usually, we observe the distribution
    of a few quantitative traits that depend on the frequencies of very many alleles.
    The mean and variance of such traits are analogous to observable quantities in
    statistical thermodynamics. Thus, we can define an entropy, SΩ, which measures
    the volume of allele frequency space that is consistent with the observed trait
    distribution. The stationary distribution of the traits is View the MathML source;
    this applies with arbitrary epistasis and dominance. The entropies SΩ, SH are
    distinct, but converge when there are so many alleles that traits fluctuate close
    to their expectations. Populations tend to evolve towards states that can be realised
    in many ways (i.e., large SΩ), which may lead to a substantial drop below the
    adaptive peak; we illustrate this point with a simple model of genetic redundancy.
    This analogy with statistical thermodynamics brings together previous ideas in
    a general framework, and justifies a maximum entropy approximation to the dynamics
    of quantitative traits.

  text: Why are sinistral snails so rare? Two main hypotheses are that selection acts
    against the establishment of new coiling morphs, because dextral and sinistral
    snails have trouble mating, or else a developmental constraint prevents the establishment
    of sinistrals. We therefore used an isolate of the snail Lymnaea stagnalis, in
    which sinistrals are rare, and populations of Partula suturalis, in which sinistrals
    are common, as well as a mathematical model, to understand the circumstances by
    which new morphs evolve. The main finding is that the sinistral genotype is associated
    with reduced egg viability in L. stagnalis, but in P. suturalis individuals of
    sinistral and dextral genotype appear equally fecund, implying a lack of a constraint.
    As positive frequency-dependent selection against the rare chiral morph in P.
    suturalis also operates over a narrow range (&lt; 3%), the results suggest a model
    for chiral evolution in snails in which weak positive frequency-dependent selection
    may be overcome by a negative frequency-dependent selection, such as reproductive
    character displacement. In snails, there is not always a developmental constraint.
    As the direction of cleavage, and thus the directional asymmetry of the entire
    body, does not generally vary in other Spiralia (annelids, echiurans, vestimentiferans,
    sipunculids and nemerteans), it remains an open question as to whether this is
    because of a constraint and/or because most taxa do not have a conspicuous external
    asymmetry (like a shell) upon which selection can act.

  text: In this paper we extend the work of Alfaro, Henzinger et al. on interface
    theories for component-based design. Existing interface theories often fail to
    capture functional relations between the inputs and outputs of an interface. For
    example, a simple synchronous interface that takes as input a number n ≥ 0 and
    returns, at the same time, as output n + 1, cannot be expressed in existing theories.
    In this paper we provide a theory of relational interfaces, where such input-output
    relations can be captured. Our theory supports synchronous interfaces, both stateless
    and stateful. It includes explicit notions of environments and pluggability, and
    satisfies fundamental properties such as preservation of refinement by composition,
    and characterization of pluggability by refinement. We achieve these properties
    by making reasonable restrictions on feedback loops in interface compositions.

  text: 'We compare several languages for specifying Markovian population models such
    as queuing networks and chemical reaction networks. These languages —matrix descriptions,
    stochastic Petri nets, stoichiometric equations, stochastic process algebras,
    and guarded command models— all describe continuous-time Markov chains, but they
    differ according to important properties, such as compositionality, expressiveness
    and succinctness, executability, ease of use, and the support they provide for
    checking the well-formedness of a model and for analyzing a model. '

  text: "Within systems biology there is an increasing interest in the stochastic
    behavior of biochemical reaction networks. An appropriate stochastic description
    is provided by the chemical master equation, which represents a continuous- time
    Markov chain (CTMC).\r\nStandard Uniformization (SU) is an efficient method for
    the transient analysis of CTMCs. For systems with very different time scales,
    such as biochemical reaction networks, SU is computationally expensive. In these
    cases, a variant of SU, called adaptive uniformization (AU), is known to reduce
    the large number of iterations needed by SU. The additional difficulty of AU is
    that it requires the solution of a birth process.\r\nIn this paper we present
    an on-the-fly variant of AU, where we improve the original algorithm for AU at
    the cost of a small approximation error. By means of several examples, we show
    that our approach is particularly well-suited for biochemical reaction networks."

  text: The Hierarchical Timing Language (HTL) is a real-time coordination language
    for distributed control systems. HTL programs must be checked for well-formedness,
    race freedom, transmission safety (schedulability of inter-host communication),
    and time safety (schedulability of host computation). We present a modular abstract
    syntax and semantics for HTL, modular checks of well-formedness, race freedom,
    and transmission safety, and modular code distribution. Our contributions here
    complement previous results on HTL time safety and modular code generation. Modularity
    in HTL can be utilized in easy program composition as well as fast program analysis
    and code generation, but also in so-called runtime patching, where program components
    may be modified at runtime.

  text: Games on graphs with omega-regular objectives provide a model for the control
    and synthesis of reactive systems. Every omega-regular objective can be decomposed
    into a safety part and a liveness part. The liveness part ensures that something
    good happens “eventually.” Two main strengths of the classical, infinite-limit
    formulation of liveness are robustness (independence from the granularity of transitions)
    and simplicity (abstraction of complicated time bounds). However, the classical
    liveness formulation suffers from the drawback that the time until something good
    happens may be unbounded. A stronger formulation of liveness, so-called finitary
    liveness, overcomes this drawback, while still retaining robustness and simplicity.
    Finitary liveness requires that there exists an unknown, fixed bound b such that
    something good happens within b transitions. While for one-shot liveness (reachability)
    objectives, classical and finitary liveness coincide, for repeated liveness (Buchi)
    objectives, the finitary formulation is strictly stronger. In this work we study
    games with finitary parity and Streett objectives. We prove the determinacy of
    these games, present algorithms for solving these games, and characterize the
    memory requirements of winning strategies. We show that finitary parity games
    can be solved in polynomial time, which is not known for infinitary parity games.
    For finitary Streett games, we give an EXPTIME algorithm and show that the problem
    is NP-hard. Our algorithms can be used, for example, for synthesizing controllers
    that do not let the response time of a system increase without bound.
