The magnetite-based receptors in the beak of birds and their role in avian navigation [PDF]
, 2012 Iron-rich structures have been described in the beak of homing pigeons, chickens and several species of migratory birds and interpreted as magnetoreceptors.

A confinable home-and-rescue gene drive for population modification
eLife, 2021 Homing-based gene drives, engineered using CRISPR/Cas9, have been proposed to spread desirable genes throughout populations. However, invasion of such drives can be hindered by the accumulation of resistant alleles.

Cluster J Mycobacteriophages: Intron Splicing in Capsid and Tail Genes [PDF]
, 2013 Bacteriophages isolated on Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 represent many distinct genomes sharing little or no DNA sequence similarity. The genomes are architecturally mosaic and are replete with genes of unknown function.

Impaired bone marrow homing of cytokine-activated CD34+ cells in the NOD/SCID model [PDF]
, 2004 The reduced engraftment potential of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) after exposure to cytokines may be related to the impaired homing ability of actively cycling cells. We tested this hypothesis by quantifying the short-term horning of human
