Present your physics research to over 14,000 physicists from around the world.

by Hiroshi Nikaido — LB medium, also known incorrectly as Luria-Bertani medium, is widely used to grow bacterial cultures, mainly because it is easy to prepare and provides a broad base of nutrien…

Abstract. Recombination diversifies offspring genomes and helps ensure chromosome segregation during meiosis. Mutation rates are elevated near crossovers d

Adaptation in protein-coding sequences can be detected from multiple sequence alignments across species or alternatively by leveraging polymorphism...

A central puzzle in the evolution of individuality is the origin of heredity. Egalitarian transitions integrate formerly independent replicators into a higher-level individual, but this requires the c...

Chloroplast-stealing ciliates evolve, increasing reliance on their prey for all aspects of metabolism, including photosynthesis.

Measuring Biological Function in Biomechanics: Observations and Consequences

When two populations come into secondary contact, assortative mating can act as a barrier to gene flow. However, when assortative mating is incomplete, associations between preference and cue loci can...

Provides small, opinionated wrappers around familiar linear model workflows. The package keeps base R and ggplot2 interfaces recognizable while adding guardrails around common interpretation traps, in...

Many make the mistake of rejecting Herasight on ethical grounds, but doing so gives them too much credit.

How do bacteria evolve resistance to antibiotics? Drawing on evidence from experimental evolution, pathogen genomics, and molecular microbiology, this Essay argues that the evolution of antibiotic res...

Novel antagonistic interactions between species are expected to drive especially rapid coevolution. However, little is known about the genomic basis of such coevolution in nature because novel inter-s...

A groundbreaking volume that examines the pivotal roles of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in the Human Genome Project (HGP) and the development of other major genomics projects

New leader of the National Academy of Sciences Neil Shubin warns: ‘a society that loses science loses the future’.

Abstract. A general theory of adaptation is one that accounts for both the quantitative and functional properties of adaptive evolution. To date, the field

Abstract. In 2006, a manuscript appeared with a provocative title: “Darwinian evolution can follow only very few mutational paths to fitter proteins.” Twen

An 8-year soil meta-omic time series shows how mobile genetic elements shape permafrost microbial diversity and impact a range of functions, including carbon and nutrient cycling.
