  An information-theoretic framework for deciphering pleiotropic and noisy biochemical signaling

  Signalling responses are marked by substantial cell-to-cell variability. Here, the authors propose an information theoretic framework that accounts for multiple inputs and temporal dynamics to analyse how signals flow through shared network components.

  Freely orbiting magnetic tweezers to directly monitor changes in the twist of nucleic acids

  Rotational motion and torsional strain affects DNA replication, transcription and repair. Lipfertet al. have developed a new technique that uses freely orbiting magnetic tweezers to measure equilibrium fluctuations and determine the twist of tethered nucleic acid molecules.
