Finding Our Way through Phenotypes
Imagine if we could compute across phenotype data as easily as genomic data; this article calls for efforts to realize this vision and discusses the potential benefits.
Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century
New theoretical and conceptual frameworks are required for evolutionary biology to capitalize on the wealth of data now becoming available from the study of genomes, phenotypes, and organisms -…
Physics transforming the life sciences.
TLDR
How biological physics is a new area of physics and not simply applications of known physics to biological problems is discussed, and the new advances in theoretical physics that are already flourishing today are focused on.
Glycoscience: Integrating a Key Macromolecule More Fully into the Curriculum
TLDR
Glycoscience examples are suitable additions to many areas of the curriculum, and their inclusion will help ensure that students have an understanding of the diverse functions played by this key class of macromolecules.
Interdisciplinary Laboratory Course Facilitating Knowledge Integration, Mutualistic Teaming, and Original Discovery.
TLDR
A one-semester, learning laboratory course on organismal biomechanics offered at a large research university that enables interdisciplinary teams of students from biology and engineering to grow intellectually, collaborate effectively, and make original discoveries.
Upper secondary and first-year university students’ explanations of animal behaviour: to what extent are Tinbergen’s four questions about causation, ontogeny, function and evolution, represented?
ABSTRACT In 1963, the Nobel Prize-winning ethologist Niko Tinbergen proposed a framework for the scientific study of animal behaviour by outlining four questions that should be answered to have a…
THE BRAVE NEW WORLD OF BIOPHYSICS: A WORKING-GROUND TO UNDERSTAND THE MICROWORLD
Both the weight and the role of most scientific work depend on finding internal or external properties of any matter, especially ‘physical’. The development of scientific world through this…
The new world of discovery, invention, and innovation: convergence of knowledge, technology, and society
TLDR
A 10-year “NBIC2” vision within a longer-term framework for converging technology and human progress is provided, including support for foundational emerging technologies NBIC to penetrate essential platforms of human activity and create new industries and jobs, improve lifelong wellness and human potential, achieve personalized and integrated healthcare and education, and secure a sustainable quality of life for all.
Designing Core Concepts for a Tertiary Basic Chemistry Course
A curriculum framework is proposed for the tertiary 'chemistry fundamentals' course based on Atkins' interrelated core chemical concepts. It is suggested that this course should not only provide a…

Self-Assembly at All Scales
TLDR
Self-assembling processes are common throughout nature and technology and involve components from the molecular to the planetary scale and many different kinds of interactions.
Predicting synthetic rescues in metabolic networks
TLDR
This work computationally study mutants that lack an essential enzyme, and thus are unable to grow or have a significantly reduced growth rate, and shows that several of these mutants can be turned into viable organisms through additional gene deletions that restore their growth rate.
Manufacturing at Nanoscale: Top-Down, Bottom-up and System Engineering
The current nano-technology revolution is facing several major challenges: to manufacture nanodevices below 20 nm, to fabricate three-dimensional complex nano-structures, and to heterogeneously…
The electrostatic origin of chiral patterns on nanofibers
Several recent research works focus on nanofibers covered by molecules that self-assemble into chiral helices. While the formation of helical structures has been explained mostly on a case by case…

TLDR
Experiments with nucleases indicate that non-DNA elements constraining mitotic chromatin must be isolated from one another, leading to the conclusion that mitotic chromosomes have a chromatin ‘network’ or ‘gel’ organization, with stretches of chromatin strung between ‘crosslinking’ points.
Coherent soft x-ray generation in the water window with the EEHG scheme
Recently a scheme entitled echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) was proposed for producing short wavelength FEL radiation that allows far higher harmonic numbers to be accessed as compared with…
Attogram detection using nanoelectromechanical oscillators
We report on the fabrication of nanometer-scale mass sensors with subattogram sensitivity. Surface micromachined polycrystalline silicon and silicon nitride nanomechanical oscillators were used to…
Probing Gene Expression in Live Cells, One Protein Molecule at a Time
TLDR
It is found that the protein molecules are produced in bursts, with each burst originating from a stochastically transcribed single messenger RNA molecule, and that protein copy numbers in the bursts follow a geometric distribution.
Conformational flexibility facilitates self-assembly of complex DNA nanostructures
TLDR
The results demonstrate that conformational flexibility could be explored to generate complex DNA nanostructures and might be further extended to other biomacromolecular systems, such as RNA and proteins.
