Premeiotic 24-nt phasiRNAs are present in the Zea genus and unique in biogenesis mechanism and molecular function

The paper identifies premeiotic 24-nt phasiRNAs in maize and related species, showing they are distinct from meiotic 24-nt phasiRNAs in biogenesis and function.

Shear Stress Promotes Remodeling of Platelet Glycosylation via Upregulation of Platelet Glycosidase Activity: The Ulterior Cause of MCS-Related Thrombocytopenia?

This study shows shear stress increases platelet glycosidase activity, leading to glycosylation remodeling, platelet count decline, and microvesiculation in MCS patients.

Identification and Characterization of Calcium Binding Protein, Spermatid Associated 1 (CABS1) in Selected Human Tissues and Fluids

This study characterizes CABS1 protein in human tissues and fluids using antibodies and bioinformatics, revealing its broader distribution and structural properties.

Practical and effective diagnosis of animal anthrax in endemic low-resource settings

This study validates azure B microscopy and PCR on skin samples as effective and practical diagnostic methods for anthrax in low-resource settings.

Characterisation of the transcriptome and proteome of SARS-CoV-2 using direct RNA sequencing and tandem mass spectrometry reveals evidence for a cell passage induced in-frame deletion in the spike glycoprotein that removes the furin-like cleavage site

Prediction of protein mutational free energy: benchmark and sampling improvements increase classification accuracy

The paper improves protein mutational free energy prediction by creating a balanced benchmark set and testing enhancements in the Rosetta software suite.

Dynamic-parameter movement models reveal drivers of migratory pace in a soaring bird

The paper develops a dynamic-parameter model to analyze how flight subsidies influence migratory behavior in golden eagles, revealing circadian rhythms and a fly-and-forage strategy.
