- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedThe genome of RNA viruses, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; Fig. 1), folds to form higher-order structures with stems and loops that contain motifs directing various steps of viral replication. Structural...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedSchizophrenia is a severe mental disorder with a lifetime risk of about 1%, characterized by hallucinations, delusions and cognitive deficits, with heritability estimated at up to 80% (1,2).We performed a genome-wide...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedThe United States and China adjourned a new round of bilateral talks in Washington DC last week with the vague outline of a climate partnership. But the 'G2' is far from sealing a meaningful deal in time for the...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedLA PALMA, SPAIN As the world's largest single optical telescope officially opens for business, some astronomers are still wondering precisely what that business should be. The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), which...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedScience doi:10.1126/science.1174148 (2009) In recent years geneticists have started looking at how genetic differences between individuals affect gene expression. Different levels of expression generally correlate with...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedIn many industrialized nations, including Japan, South Korea, Germany and Italy, and much of southern and eastern Europe, fertility is far below replacement--the level at which enough children are born to replace their...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedRecent studies have found that the oldest and most luminous galaxies in the early Universe are surprisingly compact (1-7), having stellar masses similar to present-day elliptical galaxies but much smaller sizes. This...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedSIR--Your Editorial 'Raising the standards' (Nature 459, 1033-1034; 2009) reports on the pressure being imposed by non-governmental organizations on China's local governments to provide the public with more information...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedA former employee who allegedly destroyed US$500,000 worth of protein crystal samples at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California, was arrested and charged last week with wilfully ruining...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedConsiderable debate surrounds claims for early evidence of music in the archaeological record (1-5). Researchers universally accept the existence of complex musical instruments as an indication of fully modern behaviour...

- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedMass-spectrometry-based methods for relative proteome quantification have broadly affected life science research. However, important research directions, particularly those involving mathematical modelling and simulation...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedAstrophys. J. 700, 1921-1932 (2009) Many of the planets discovered outside the Solar System are bigger than Jupiter. Some are larger than expected given the steady shrinking that occurs as gas-giant planets cool....
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedThis visualization of a simulated supernova is helping to reveal why pulsars spin so fast. Pulsars are neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation as they whirl around many times per second--a rate that...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedAs the world braces for an autumn wave of swine flu (H1N1), the relatively new technique of agent-based computational modelling is playing a central part in mapping the disease's possible spread, and designing policies...
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 460, Issue 7256) Peer-ReviewedSchizophrenia, a devastating psychiatric disorder, has a prevalence of 0.5-1%, with high heritability (80-85%)and complex transmission (1). Recent studies implicate rare, large, high-penetrante copy number variants in...
