BID-seq: A quantitative method mapping pseudouridine (Ψ) sites at base resolution
Functional studies of RNA pseudouridine (Ψ) modification have been limited by lacking quantitatively map individual Ψ sites transcriptome-wide. To address this challenge, Dai et al. developed BID-seq, a method for quantitative mapping of Ψ at single-nucleotide resolution.
How genes, schools, and residential areas shape achievement together
It’s widely known that children's achievement is shaped by a complex mix of genetic and environmental factors, but robust examples of gene-environment interactions have been elusive. A population-wide, multigenerational study sheds new light on this.
The lightest neutron star?
The mass of the central compact object in supernova remnant HESS J1731-347 estimated using modelling of its X-ray spectrum turns out to be almost too low
IXPE explores polarization of an X-ray pulsar
NASA's brand new X-ray polarimetry mission IXPE reveals spin-orbital misalignment and surprisingly low polarization for the accreting pulsar Her X-1
Unveiling the defect/exciton properties and ultrafast carrier dynamics in high mobility p-type transparent copper iodide
In this work published in Nature communications, we have studied the defect physics, excitonic properties and ultrafast carrier dynamics of copper iodide by a synergistic approach employing a combination of analytical techniques, which is vital for its optoelectronic applications.
