The genome sequence of Trichoplusia ni enables the use of this widespread lepidopteran pest as a model for both the study of small RNA pathways and insecticide resistance.

Transcriptional regulation evolves at indistinguishable rates in mammals, birds and insect lineages despite large differences in underlying rates of sequence evolution.

The human PGBD5 gene encodes an active DNA transposase.

In Caenorhabditis elegans histone methylation (H3K9me3) controls the synthesis of heritable small RNAs in a gene-specific manner and thus enables 'flagging' of newly-acquired genes.

Racial and ethnic disparities in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates can impact overall epidemic dynamics and herd immunity, underscoring the need to develop socially informed transmission models that account for population variability.

Transient Ca elevations of cytoplasmic calcium in cardiac myocytes profoundly activate cardiac Na/K pump activity in parallel with physical-chemical changes of the sarcolemma but without involvement of conventional signaling mechanisms.

New hybrid structure determination methods leveraging the inherent biophysical properties of a macromolecule through molecular dynamics simulations provide accurate and cost-efficient ways of achieving atomic structures from high resolution cryo-electron density maps.

Actin networks form clusters under myosin-induced contractility, while high actin filament treadmilling speed can reshape actin networks into ring-like structures with lower mechanical energy.

Specific deletion of Cav3.2 channels in anterior pretectal neurons reduced mechanical and cold allodynia, pointing to Cav3.2 channels as prime targets to develop innovative analgesic pharmacology that will not only act at the peripheral level but also in central structures.

Elimination of extreme reporters using Goldberg cutoffs does not always produce unbiased estimates of associations between nutrition intakes and health outcomes.
