- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7332) Peer-Reviewedp53-binding protein 1 (53BP1) is known to be an important mediator of the DNA damage response (1), with dimethylation of histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20me2) critical to the recruitment of 53BP1 to double-strand breaks...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7332) Peer-ReviewedFree to a good home: one 12-metre radio antenna, perfect for high-resolution sub-millimetre-wavelength astronomy. Pick it up yourself; no guarantees. Estimated value: US$10 million to $15 million. It was nearly that...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7332) Peer-ReviewedSome individuals react coolly to stressful events, whereas others slip into depression. Work in mice suggests that chemical modifications to the DNA may explain the difference. Shusaku Uchida and Yoshifumi Watanabe at...
