Stunning Fossil Site Reveals Life Rebounding After Major Extinction Event : ScienceAlert
Just over half a billion years ago, Earth was rocked by a global mass extinction event, a dramatic interruption of the Cambrian explosion of life on Earth.
What happened next, in the direct aftermath of this event, has mostly been a mystery…

Cell surface glycoRNA clusters found to fine-tune growth factor signaling
The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form highly organized clusters with cell surface RNA binding proteins (csRBPs), but their purpose remained unknown.

Google’s AlphaGenome wants to do for DNA what AlphaFold did for proteins | Research
Google’s new deep learning model can predict the effect of small changes to DNA sequences up to one million base pairs in length and is particularly good with non-coding DNA, which has proven especially difficult to understand. The artificial…

Networks Hold the Key to a Decades-Old Problem About Waves
By the 1970s, mathematicians had figured out that embedded within the structure of Cayley graphs is information about the Fourier series from Chowla’s problem. A Cayley graph’s eigenvalues, it turns out, correspond exactly to different…
