Laser trap measurements show that mechanical work output from curling protofilaments is enhanced by adding magnesium, and that yeast microtubules generate larger and more energetic working strokes than bovine microtubules.
Combining transcriptomic data with the analysis of large genome-wide association studies helps identify genes that are likely important for regulating bone mineral density.
The comparison of three ciliate species that share complex pathways for natural genome editing allows capture of intermediate states in the acquisition of scrambled genes and elucidating a pathway for the origin and evolution of extremely rearranged chromosomes.
