- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 464, Issue 7289) Peer-ReviewedAfrican sleeping sickness or human African trypanosomiasis, caused by Trypanosoma bruceispp., is responsible for ~30,000 deaths each year. Available treatments for this disease are poor, with unacceptable efficacy and...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 464, Issue 7289) Peer-ReviewedPLoS Genet. 6, e1000889 (2010) The largest compartment in the cell's nucleus is the nucleolus, which produces the machinery needed for protein synthesis and regulates other cellular processes. Certain sections of DNA...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 464, Issue 7289) Peer-ReviewedMetabolism is the fire of life (1). In the five minutes it will take you to read this article, your fire will burn around 350 joules (J) of energy per kilogram of body mass. A kilogram of mice will burn 3,000 J in the...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 464, Issue 7289) Peer-ReviewedCopy number variants (CNVs) account for a major proportion of human genetic polymorphism and have been predicted to have an important role in genetic susceptibility to common disease. To address this we undertook a...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 464, Issue 7289) Peer-ReviewedDuring the twentieth century, biology--traditionally a descriptive science --became one of hypothesis-driven experimentation. Tightly coupled with this was the increasing dominance of reductionism, the idea that complex...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 464, Issue 7289) Peer-ReviewedEngulfment of apoptotic cells occurs throughout life in multicellular organisms. Impaired apoptotic cell clearance (due to defective recognition, internalization or degradation) results in autoimmune disease (1,2). One...

- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 464, Issue 7289) Peer-ReviewedWe often imagine that the heterogeneity of human populations is a reflection of thousands of years of human migration, but there is little evidence to support this. DNA may provide a source of such evidence,...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 464, Issue 7289) Peer-ReviewedFor more than three-quarters of a century it has been assumed (1) that basal metabolic rate increases as body mass raised to some power p. However, there is no broad consensus regarding the value of p: whereas many...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 464, Issue 7289) Peer-ReviewedThe zebra finch is an important model organism in several fields (1,2) with unique relevance to human neuroscience (3,4). Like other songbirds, the zebra finch communicates through learned vocalizations, an ability...
