An online platform removed 257 papers written or co-written by the University of Chicago’s Nicholas Polson after other academics raised questions.

The Department of Biology at Stanford University seeks applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Evolutionary Biology. A successful candidate will conduct research that asks fundamental que...

'A true tour de force. A fresh, authoritative, meticulously researched and utterly engaging examination of arguably the deepest thinker of the twentieth cent...

GOOSE enables the design and testing of thousands of disordered protein region sequences to reveal distinct sequence-to-function relationships.

Langstein-Skora, Schmid, Huth et al. propose that intrinsically disordered region functionality can be driven by the interplay between linear binding motifs and contextual chemical characteristics suc...

The deep learning model STARLING can generate accurate ensembles of intrinsically disordered regions of proteins using only protein sequence as input.

Biomolecular condensates are membraneless organelles that compartmentalize functions in living cells. Formed by the phase separation of biomolecules, condensate

Muller's ratchet predicts that non-recombining genomes can accumulate deleterious mutations, though molecular evidence for it is rare. Previous studies have tried to detect ratchet-like behavior in mi...

Most mutations are neutral or deleterious, and mutator alleles that increase the mutation rate of an organism are considered rare and short-lived. Here, we report a genomic signature consistent with t...

Physics of droplet regulation in biological cells, Zwicker, David, Paulin, Oliver W, ter Burg, Cathelijne

From populations of multicellular organisms to selfish genetic elements, conflicts between levels of biological organization are central to evolution. Plasmids are extrachromosomal, self-replicating g...

Mutant NPM1 and various leukemia oncofusions form biophysically indistingishable nuclear condensates, termed C-bodies, which orchestrate leukemogenic gene expression. These findings consolidate divers...

Abstract. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-hydrolyzing enzymes (PETases) are a recently discovered enzyme class capable of plastic degradation. PETases are

Peer review is widely viewed as a critical aspect of biomedical communication. Ideally, it provides authors with feedback so they can improve manuscripts and gives readers, particularly nonspecialists...
