The absence of aquatic insects from pelagic marine habitats has been attributed to their air-filled tracheal respiratory system, which could implode at depth while undertaking diel vertical migrations...

Ancient DNA can be preserved on materials from archaeological floor deposits such as bones, sediments and artifacts. Here, the authors investigate whether Palaeolithic wall art can preserve human DNA ...

Du et al. engineered compact, synthetic microRNA circuits that exploit multispecific miRNA targeting to enable uniform, tunable protein expression across broad gene dosages. These modular circuits sup...

CETAF59 will bring together the European taxonomic community to discuss strategy implementation, research collaboration, collections, and future initiatives.

In this study, the authors use the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to show that maternal microRNAs are delivered from the intestine to embryos by the yolk, where they regulate gene expression an...
