- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 495, Issue 7439) Peer-ReviewedInternal structures of embryonic jellyfish-like organisms have been found in limestone that formed more than 530 million years ago. Basic animal body plans were established over half a billion years ago, and their...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 495, Issue 7439) Peer-ReviewedMore than half of mammalian genes generate multiple messenger RNA isoforms that differ in their 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) and therefore in regulatory sequences (1), often associated with cell proliferation and...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 495, Issue 7439) Peer-ReviewedQuantitative biomechanical models can identify control parameters that are used during movements, and movement parameters that are encoded by premotor neurons. We fit a mathematical dynamical systems model including...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 495, Issue 7439) Peer-ReviewedIn a 1987 paper, researchers at Osaka University in Japan reported an apparently minor finding. While investigating the sequence of a bacterial gene that encodes the enzyme alkaline phosphatase, they discovered an...

- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 495, Issue 7439) Peer-ReviewedIn Europe, only 36% of mid-ranking professors, and 18% of full professors, are women, despite equal proportions of men and women at the undergraduate level (1). To address the problem of gender imbalance, the European...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 495, Issue 7439) Peer-ReviewedWhen a 165-tonne block of concrete and steel crashed into the central Oregon coast last June, Jessica Miller was shocked to find that the structure--a dock that had washed across the Pacific from Misawa, Japan--was...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 495, Issue 7439) Peer-ReviewedCodon-usage bias has been observed in almost all genomes and is thought to result from selection for efficient and accurate translation of highly expressed genes (1-3). Codon usage is also implicated in the control of...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 495, Issue 7439) Peer-ReviewedA technique that can track proteins at atomic resolution in live cells could help to show how proteins fold and mature into functional forms. A proteins environment strongly influences its maturation, but most...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 495, Issue 7439) Peer-ReviewedA newly identified chemical could help to monitor the treatment of a tropical disease that afflicts tens of millions of people. Onchocerciasis, commonly known as river blindness, is caused by the parasitic worm...
