Measuring microsatellite conservation in mammalian evolution with a phylogenetic birth-death model. [PDF]
, 2012 Microsatellites make up ∼3% of the human genome, and there is increasing evidence that some microsatellites can have important functions and can be conserved by selection.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Interface transmigration reprograms triple‐negative breast cancer cells, triggering a shared switch toward more aggressive and invasive phenotypes. Using a collagen I interface model, this study identifies shared transcriptional changes involving proliferation, chromatin remodeling, and DNA repair pathways.

Unprecedented loss of ammonia assimilation capability in a urease-encoding bacterial mutualist
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Blochmannia are obligately intracellular bacterial mutualists of ants of the tribe Camponotini. Blochmannia perform key nutritional functions for the host, including synthesis of several essential amino acids.

Template-directed biopolymerization: tape-copying Turing machines
, 2012 DNA, RNA and proteins are among the most important macromolecules in a living cell. These molecules are polymerized by molecular machines. These natural nano-machines polymerize such macromolecules, adding one monomer at a time, using another linear ...

Microengineered Gradient Hydrogels for Mechanobiology
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Gradient hydrogels are used to mimic the mechanical heterogeneity in native tissues, offering powerful in vitro platforms to study cell‐material interactions in diverse pathophysiological contexts. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the design and experimental considerations for stiffness gradient hydrogels, discussing exemplary achievements ...

Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Measles virus (MeV) is dual-tropic: it replicates first in lymphatic tissues and then in epithelial cells. This switch in tropism raises the question of whether, and how, intra-host evolution occurs.

Law of Genome Evolution Direction : Coding Information Quantity Grows
, 2008 The problem of the directionality of genome evolution is studied. Based on the analysis of C-value paradox and the evolution of genome size we propose that the function-coding information quantity of a genome always grows in the course of evolution ...

Stressing Mitosis to Death [PDF]
, 2014 The final stage of cell division (mitosis), involves the compaction of the duplicated genome into chromatid pairs. Each pair is captured by microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles, aligned at the metaphase plate, and then faithfully segregated
