Documentation of women’s inclusion in Indian academia and conferences by BiasWatchIndia reveals the scale of underrepresentation of women across science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
A comment article summarizing a range of research activities that contribute to understanding evolving Māori perspectives on Gene Editing and how they might contribute to future regulation.
Analysis of the association between Altmetric scores and the gender of first and last authors of articles published in top cardiovascular research journals shows that women receive on average less attention for their work.
A review of citation rates from genomic studies in the GWAS Catalog suggests that sharing summary statistics results, on average, in ~81.8% more citations, highlighting a benefit of publicly sharing GWAS summary statistics.
Recent structures of DNA-bound bacterial and phage recombinases provide insights into homologous recombination and suggest relation to the eukaryotic Rad52 and identification of a Rad52 single strand annealing protein (SSAP) superfamily.
Recent findings implicating homeobox B13 (HOXB13) as a regulator of sheep tail length and their impact on sheep breeding via selection-based strategies and molecular genetics-based tools are discussed.
Recent developments in the field of planarian stem cell research are discussed, an active and accessible stem cell system that can generate any cell type of the planarian body, to address the question of pluripotency among neoblasts.
Picasso-server combines community-tested algorithms of Picasso, a workflow management system, and database in a server interface for high-throughput super-resolution studies.
In this Comment, Ciampitti et al. introduces a more relevant conceptual framework bridging soil and plant processes to untangle true gains of N for field crops rather than indirect progress merely based on yield.
A case study on an inclusive faculty hiring process at Emory University provides advice for institutions creating their own hiring panels and workflows.
Recent developments in adipose tissue-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) research is highlighted, assessing current adipose tissue EV research strategies and obstacles the field faces.
In this Comment, Naveen Tangudu and Katherine Aird discuss recent findings showing that 53BP1 regulates heterochromatin through liquid-liquid phase separation.
In this comment, Professor Christian Beste discusses the disconnection between psychology and neuroscience and the effects this can have on the progress of both fields and reproducibility. He also considers the role that publishers can play in strengthening the connections between the disciplines.
Cunningham et al. comment on the U.K.’s commitment to protect 30% of land by 2030, by identifying priority landscapes for expansion of the current protected area network in the UK using 445 priority species ranges across the country, under two baseline protection definitions to reach this conservation target. They find that expanding the protected area network by initially only including the strictest protected areas would yield much greater representation of threatened species, and propose new considerations for protected area commitments.
Jasmine Miller-Kleinhenz et al. highlight the risk of science and academia’s general neutrality to discussions around race and social justice. Their collectively-developed course represents a framework to begin these important discussions and improve conversations on race in academia.
García Saura et al. report a new tool, MacroGreen, to detect ADP-ribosylation by GFP fluorescence in a microplate reader, or in cells by microscopy. With superior affinity and reduced ADP-ribosyl hydrolase activity, MacroGreen is an easy to produce and suitable tool for rapid detection of ADP-ribosylated proteins in vitro without a need for specialist reagents and time-consuming methods.
In a recent issue of Science Advances, Srivastava et al. report a novel nucleotide biosynthesis regulatory role for UBR7 in NOTCH1-driven T-ALL. Here we will discuss their key findings and the implications for using cancer metabolism to understand the development and progression of T-ALL.
Gillman and Wright propose a re-evaluation of taxonomical nomenclature to reinstate indigenous species names. These authors discuss the consideration of indigenous names for new and existing species in order to reflect the importance and precedence of indigenous knowledge in biology.
