- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedEarth Planet. Sci. Lett. doi:10.1016/ j.epsl.2008.03.031 (2008) A planet's interior affects its climate through volcanoes spewing out greenhouse gases. Conversely, the climate can also affect the interior, according to...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedHow should we arrange objects to pack them as tightly as possible, making best use of all the available space? Packing problems have long fascinated both physicists and mathematicians, but have proved surprisingly tough...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedAnatomy and art have depended on each other since the Renaissance. The bond took a new form in the eighteenth century with the development of anatomical models. Designed for teaching, as an alternative to inconvenient...

- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedSingle-strand DNA (ssDNA)-binding proteins (SSBs) are ubiquitous and essential for a wide variety of DNA metabolic processes, including DNA replication, recombination, DNA damage detection and repair (1). SSBs have...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedMalaria has plagued humans since the dawn of written history, and probably since long before that. These days, biologists understand tiny mechanistic details of the workings of one human malarial parasite, Plasmodium...

- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedMicrobial diversity and abundance has long been thought to be highest in soil environments. Now soil has a potential rival: the basalt rocks that line the ocean floor. These are carbon-poor but oxygen-rich habitats where...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-Reviewed"He's the best when it comes to dog cloning, and for that reason it behoves us to work with him." Lou Hawthorne, chief executive of BioArts International in Mill Valley, California, explains why his company has...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-Reviewed"Who am I?" is a question that is often asked and seldom answered. But as several articles in this issue suggest, the question itself may need to be reframed: biologists are discovering that it is frequently more...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedOne evening 20 years ago, Paul Falkowski left the lab so tired that he omitted to refresh the solution in his culture flasks of Emiliania huxleyi, one of the world's most widespread coccolithophores. The following...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedThis year marks the tenth birthday for metagenomics--the cloning and functional analysis of the collective genomes of previously unculturable soil microorganisms in an attempt to reconstruct and characterize individual...

- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedMalaria parasites and related Apicomplexans are the causative agents of the some of the most serious infectious diseases of humans, companion animals, livestock and wildlife. These parasites must undergo sexual...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedAngew. Chem. Int. Ed. 47, 4208-4210 (2008) Which is smaller: hydrogen or deuterium? The standard answer is that deuterium (²H) takes up less space than ¹H because its greater mass gives it a smaller vibration amplitude...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7195) Peer-ReviewedResearchers in Australia have uncovered the oldest record of live birth--viviparity--in any vertebrate (see page 650). The discovery of embryos in fossils of placoderms (ancient, armoured, jawed fish) indicates that...
