A new tool to study complex genome interactions

People who owned black-and-white television sets until the 1980s didn't know what they were missing until they got a color TV. A similar switch could happen in the world of genomics as researchers at...

CRISPR/Cas9 reveals a key gene involved in the evolution of coral skeleton formation

New work led by Carnegie's Phillip Cleves uses cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tools to reveal a gene that's critical to stony corals' ability to build their reef architectures. It is...

Structural basis of NINJ1-mediated plasma membrane rupture in cell death

Nature - Structural, biochemical and mutagenesis studies indicate that, in dying cells, the membrane protein NINJ1 assembles into filaments, disrupting the cell membrane.

Bowhead whales, the longest-lived mammals, are seldom affected by cancer and this may partly be down to exceptional DNA repair mechanisms newscientist.com/article/237…

Bowhead whales may resist cancer thanks to superior DNA repair ability | New Scientist

The cells of bowhead whales seem to be better at repairing DNA than those of humans or mice, and this may explain why they live to over 200 with low rates of cancer

A paper in @NatureEcoEvo presents a new phylogenomic tree for butterflies using 391 genes from 2,300 species. It suggests that butterflies originated around 100 million years ago in what is now the Americas and originally fed on Fabaceae. go.nature.com/431yuGs
