摘要:Transposable elements (TEs) are a highly diverse group of selfish genomic elements, prevalent across the tree of life, whose uncontrolled propagation poses a threat to genome stability. Recent studies have explored the evolution of Drosophila melanogaster TEs, their coevolution with the host genome, and mechanisms that regulate their activity. However, little is known about their cross-species evolutionary patterns. Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are the most active group of TEs i...

摘要:With the persistent threats from severe respiratory diseases and airborne pollutants, billions of people worldwide lack timely access to essential diagnostic services, particularly in low-resource regions where laboratory infrastructure is scarce. Conventional pump-suction airborne samplers face challenges including cost, power dependency, and unavoidable analyte loss in complex systems. Here, we demonstrate a film-rupture actuated capillary enrichment (FACE) airborne sampler that replaces ext...

摘要:Plants rely on cell surface immune receptors to detect microbial patterns and initiate effective defense responses. Although the Asteraceae family is one of the largest and economically important plant groups, little information is available about its pattern-triggered immunity signaling. Cultivated lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) recognizes a 24-amino acid peptide (nlp24) from necrosis- and ethylene-inducing peptide 1 (Nep1)-like proteins (NLPs) found in bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Here, we p...

摘要:Brains are metabolically costly and due to their high energetic demands may receive priority under conditions of reduced energy availability. Such preferential energy allocation to the brain has been described for humans and other mammals, but previous studies have not directly quantified brain metabolic rate or simultaneously considered whole-body metabolism. We recorded brain metabolic rate ex vivo, brain mass, body mass, and whole-body metabolic rate in workers of the ant Tetramorium immigr...

摘要:Chromosome segregation requires the proper assembly of kinetochores on centromeric DNA. The kinetochore is a complex multiprotein machine comprising more than 40 distinct proteins, but the functional roles of many components remain unclear. One such protein is the yeast transcription factor Cbf1, which directly binds to budding yeast centromeric DNA. Loss of Cbf1 significantly increases the rate of chromosome missegregation; however, its precise molecular mechanism of action is unknown. It was...

摘要:Implicit biases remain a contributor to discrimination despite widespread endorsement of equality. Although there has been a large-scale reduction in sexuality, race, and skin tone biases in the past two decades, there is a current shortage of quantitative theories that describe how and why biases change. Here, I present a theory of implicit bias change, which focuses on changes in exposure due to cultural information and how the speed of these changes varies geographically. This model makes c...

摘要:Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) regulate differentiation, function, and survival of excitable cells, and pathogenic variants cause diverse disorders. Most known disease-associated VGCC mutations affect well-characterized regions controlling voltage-dependent gating and channel kinetics, while many residues remain functionally unannotated. We developed an evolutionary model to predict the pathogenic potential of residues in the pore-forming Cav1.3 subunit, previously validated with de no...
