- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedMutations generate sequence diversity and provide a substrate for selection. The rate of de novo mutations is therefore of major importance to evolution. Here we conduct a study of genome-wide mutation rates by...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedIn plants, transport processes are important for the reallocation of defence compounds to protect tissues of high value (1), as demonstrated in the plant model Arabidopsis,in which the major defence compounds,...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedA federal court in Brasilia ordered the suspension of work on Brazil's enormous Belo Monte dam on 13 August, citing the need for further consultation with indigenous people in the region. At an estimated cost of US$13...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedThe death in 2010 of Jerka, a polar bear at a zoo in Germany, has been blamed on a herpes virus that originated in zebras. By sequencing and analysing viral genetic material from Jerka (pictured) and other polar...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedTo understand how blood vessels form and function, scientists require reproducible systems that mimic living tissues. An innovative approach based on microfabricated vessels provides a key step towards this goal....
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedHot on the heels of the Curiosity rover's landing on Mars, NASA announced on 17 August that the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena will continue to run the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), where...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedIn April this year, the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) was born in Panama City. It hopes to gain similar global scientific authority and policy influence for biodiversity to...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedThe whole of Greenland's ice sheet is likely to experience some degree of melting over the next decade. Jason Box at the Ohio State University in Columbus and his team combined satellite measurements of surface...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedThe lengths of human telomeres, which protect chromosome ends from degradation and end fusions (1,2), are crucial determinants of cell lifespan (3). During embryogenesis and in cancer, the telomerase enzyme counteracts...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedThe longest continuous record of global atmospheric ethane levels is presented, showing that global ethane emission rates decreased by 21 per cent from 1984 to 2010, probably owing to decreased venting and flaring of...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedA measurement by satellite altimetry shows the Himalayan glaciers to be losing mass at only moderate rates, but raises broader questions about other methods for estimating mass balance. See Letter...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedPersonality and vocation tests can help researchers to improve their 'soft skills' and find careers that suit them. Author(s): Corie Lok 1 Author Affiliations: (1) Corie Lok is the editor of Nature's Research...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedNomenclature rules can disrupt planetary scientists' fun, but they serve a purpose. Author Affiliations: After the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 retrieved the first pictures from the far side of the Moon in 1959, the...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedAfter the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 retrieved the first pictures from the far side of the Moon in 1959, the justifiably proud Soviets started to call one of the lunar lava plains Mare Moscoviense, after their capital....
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedIn the 1930s, the pioneering geneticist J. B. S. Haldane noticed a peculiar inheritance pattern in families with long histories ofhaemophilia. The faulty mutation responsible for the blood-clotting disorder tended to...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 488, Issue 7412) Peer-ReviewedAs an essential macroelement for all living cells, phosphorus is indispensable in agricultural production systems. Natural phosphorus reserves are limited (1), and it is therefore important to develop...
