Obtaining a clear picture of the proteins that interact with the Huntingtin protein will provide clues for the development of Huntington's disease therapies. In this study, William Yang and colleagues...
Deciphering Gene Expression Patterns - Nir Yakoby and Stas Shvartsman discuss the gene expression profiling project that led them to develop this framework for cataloguing and interpreting gene expres...
Neocortical Neuronal Ensembles - Firing in neocortical networks appears to be dominated by a small population of highly active neurons. In this video abstract, Alison Barth and colleagues describe the...
Not miRly a Knockout - Drs. Wang and Olson discuss their work on miR-129, as well as the general idea that gene loci encoding both a protein and an intronic microRNA commonly share regulated expressio...
Friedhelm Hildebrandt describes how whole-exome resequencing of individuals with ciliopathies reveals mutations in DNA damage response genes, suggesting new pathogenic mechanisms behind this class of ...

Plants Blast Pollinating Passerine Birds with Pollen Clouds
Agnes Dellinger and Florian Etl present the complex bird pollination system of the neotropical treelet Axinaea. Foraging birds activate a bellows organ, which causes the ejection of pollen clouds onto...
