Identification of putative mechanisms for mechanosensation-dependent prey capture in carnivorous plants.

The hunchback transcription features are compatible with an equilibrium model with a short decay length Bicoid activity gradient as the sole source of positional information, while Zelda and Hunchback speed-up the process by different means.

ChAR-seq is a massively parallelized de novo RNA mapping assay, which is capable of generating hundreds to thousands of RNA-binding maps with no a priori knowledge of target RNAs.

Seemingly redundant homologous transcription factors play distinct and cooperative roles in time-dependent combinatorial gene regulation and enable dynamic control of heterogeneity in the gene responses to environmental stresses.

Unbiased proteomics and molecular analysis revealed a new role for S6K1 in regulating DNA repair through the orchestrated phosphorylation of CDK1 and MSH6. The findings may explain why RPS6KB1 gene amplification contributed to breast cancer drug resistance.

Proximity biotinylation of the Drosophila centromere suggests a role of RNA helicases, centromeric transcripts, and centromeric R-loops for centromere function.

Combining computational and experimental approaches reveals that the loss of a maternal transcription factor influences sex-biased differential splicing in the early zygotic transcriptome at genes that are critical for normal developmental processes.

Divergent Cas9 enzymes direct site-specific single-stranded RNA cleavage, reducing infection by RNA phage in vivo and enabling programmable, PAM-independent repression of gene expression in bacteria.

Counterintuitively, activation of the transcriptional repressor of growth-promoting genes is important for yeast cell acclimation to salt stress, such that cells with larger activation of the repressor tend to have faster growth acclimation after stress.

Eukaryotic pathogens, like Cryptococcus deuterogattii, can use elevated mutation rates to more rapidly adapt to stresses, such as drug challenges, but at the cost of lower fitness in less stressful environments.
