Research Articles published by eLife are full-length studies that present important breakthroughs across the life sciences and biomedicine. There is no maximum length and no limits on the number of display items.
Direct survival benefits in larger groups rather than kin-selected indirect fitness primarily drive the evolution of division of labor in cooperatively breeding vertebrates, particularly under harsh environmental conditions.
Structural characterization of the CTLH-CRA domain-mediated pairing in the CTLH ubiquitin ligase complex enables rational engineering of interfaces with altered binding specificity.
Analysis of scRNA-seq data from primate embryoid bodies highlights the value of cross-species comparisons for identifying and characterizing cell types, as marker genes can evolve fast.
Elucidation of the Hox code defining forelimb positioning provides novel insights into lateral plate mesoderm patterning and the integration of vertebrate column structure and limb positioning.
Direct presynaptic patch-clamp recording and fluorescent imaging of the vesicular release demonstrate that a non-canonical cannabinoid receptor GPR55 deprives readily releasable vesicles of competency in cerebellar Purkinje cell axons.

Exatrack is a framework for analyzing Brownian, directed, and confined motion using a hidden-variable probabilistic model to extract physical insight into particle diffusion.

Factoring out nucleotide-level mutation biases from antibody language models dramatically improves prediction of functional mutation effects while reducing computational cost by orders of magnitude.
Genomic neighborhood signatures delineate catalytic versus putative regulatory CODH clades, establishing a framework for predicting enzyme functionality and guiding discovery of biocatalysts for CO2 reduction.
