Silencers and enhancers targeted by a common transcription factor in photoreceptors are distinguished by the number and diversity of binding transcription factor binding sites they contain.

The information stored in glycans is interpreted and read by cell surface-exposed lectin receptors, and with information theory, the formal framework is set for how to analyze such complex single-cell data.

In a perceptual choice task, human participants have a preference for sampling more information from a previously chosen alternative, indicating the presence of 'confirmation bias' in perceptual decision-making.

Information theory reveals that apparently similar signaling behaviors in ants and termites are instead governed by distinct communication protocols explaining their underlying different functions.

An efficient coding theory for higher-level cognitive processes reveals that humans efficiently adapt to contextual distributions by economizing on environmental prior information.

New experiments and theory reveal how the ability to see image details depends upon photoreceptor function and eye movements, and how fruit flies (Drosophila) see spatial details beyond the optical limit of their compound eyes.

C. elegans foraging efficiently approximate maximally informative search strategies that involve abrupt switching between different types of behaviors.

The ability of cells to transmit information encoded in signaling dynamics is fundamentally limited by the gene decoding step.

High-throughput and ultra-stable magnetic tweezers reveal that Remdesivir induces a long-lived backtrack pause upon incorporation by the coronavirus polymerase, and SARS-CoV-2 is able to evade interferon-induced antiviral ddhCTP.

The abstract framework of rate-distortion theory can be realized by a neural population coding model to reproduce key and previously unexplained regularities of human visual working memory.
