This paper identifies a metastable dimeric intermediate essential for forming native-like spidroin fibrils, but shows dehydration causes irreversible transition to amyloid-like cross-β structures.

The paper examines how different housing environments alter transcriptomic profiles in the left and right hippocampal CA1 regions of rats, revealing hemisphere-specific and shared molecular responses.

The paper analyzes the genome of a Jomon individual to infer migration patterns into East Asia, finding multiple waves and a coastal route from Southeast Asia.

This paper introduces a new targeted capture method, BDC, using BAC libraries as baits for sequencing large genes, showing it is cost-effective and maintains data quality comparable to commercial kits.
