Cell type composition and circuit organization of neocortical radial clones [PDF]
SummaryExcitatory neurons arising from a common progenitor establish radially-oriented clonal units in the neocortex which have been proposed to serve as elementary information processing modules. To characterize the cell types and circuit diagram within these clonal units, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing and multi-cell patch clamp recordings ...

Nitrogen regulation of protein–protein interactions and transcript levels of GlnK PII regulator and AmtB ammonium transporter homologs in Archaea [PDF]
Gene homologs of GlnK PII regulators and AmtB-type ammonium transporters are often paired on prokaryotic genomes, suggesting these proteins share an ancient functional relationship.

Engineering a DYRK1B R102C mutation: insights into metabolic syndrome pathogenesis through lentiviral gene delivery [PDF]
Background: A rare heterozygous DYRK1B mutation (R102C) recently linked to a familial form of metabolic syndrome prompted this study to introduce the R102C mutation into the mouse DYRK1B gene, utilizing recombinant lentiviruses for long-term gene ...

Strategies for the evolution of sex [PDF]
We find that the hypothesis made by Jan, Stauffer and Moseley [Theory in Biosc., 119, 166 (2000)] for the evolution of sex, namely a strategy devised to escape extinction due to too many deleterious mutations, is sufficient but not necessary for the ...

Transformation of the Methylotrophic Actinomycete Amycolatopis methanolica with Plasmid DNA: Stimulatory Effect of a pMEA300-Encoded Gene [PDF]
Amycolatopsis methanolica contains a 13.29-kb plasmid (pMEA300) present both in the free state and integrated at a unique genomic location. A pMEA300-free derivative (strain WV1) was selected, allowing further analysis of pMEA300-encoded functions. Whole
