Global relative mRNA and protein abundance in trypanosomatids can be effectively estimated at transcriptomic and proteomic scales based on protein-coding sequences alone.

The translation rates of each yeast codon have been measured in both the A and P sites of the ribosome.

Codon optimization through biased synonymous substitutions is a characteristic feature of the genomes of generalist fungal parasites and is associated with the colonization of multiple hosts.

The activity patterns of populations of neurons in the retina are organized as semantic clusters (analogous to synonyms), in which component patterns bear little physical resemblance to one another but convey the same meaning.

The views of peers are important when applying for a faculty position, but so are research plans and being a good 'fit'.

The use of Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) improves the proper use of cell lines in the biomedical literature.

The zebrafish is a premier model organism for biomedical research, with a rich array of tools and genomic resources, and combining these with a fuller appreciation of wild zebrafish ecology could greatly extend its utility in biological research.

Just 5% of the human genome is subject to neutral evolution but this process remains central to understanding the history of human migration across the Earth.

A simulation study is used to demonstrate how mistakes in identifying the experimental unit and the unit of analysis can lead to incorrect analyses and inappropriate inferences when reporting research studies.

Journals are exploring new approaches to peer review in order to reduce bias, increase transparency and respond to author preferences.
