This study identifies BmNPC1 as a critical host receptor for baculovirus infection, showing its interaction with the viral glycoprotein gp64 and role in endosomal fusion.

The paper identifies structural capacitance as a new mechanism in protein evolution that generates microstructure in disordered regions, linking it to disease and evolutionary adaptability.

This study shows that Elongator regulates SHORT ROOT transcription in Arabidopsis roots, essential for stem cell maintenance and radial patterning.

The paper shows that maize root type and soil phosphate levels shape fungal communities and root transcriptomes, with lateral roots showing specific defense responses and reduced arbuscular mycorrhiza colonization at high phosphate.

The paper identifies and validates single-copy gene markers for phylogenomic studies in ray-finned fishes using comparative genomics and empirical testing across 83 species.

This paper introduces a high-throughput traction force screening method using compliant PDMS elastomers to measure cell contractility in multiple cell types.

This paper introduces a multi-locus DNA barcoding framework to improve species identification, showing it works better than single-locus methods in some cases.

This paper describes a method to genetically modify human type II collagen for covalent N- and C-terminal tagging using mutations and enzymatic processing.

The paper develops metaproteomics methods to assess microbial community composition by measuring biomass contributions through protein abundance, validated using artificial communities and applied to environmental and saliva samples.

This study shows OGT enhances TET1 activity and is necessary for TET1 function in development, with implications for metabolism and epigenetic control.
