New insights into how cells silence dangerous genomic elements
An international research team led by Freiburg biologists Dr. Wenjing Qi and Prof. Ralf Baumeister has discovered how the LINE1 retrotransposon exploits a cell protein to become active itself, as occurs in tumors. At the same time,…

Uncovering the hidden architecture of the genome in three dimensions
In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how stretches of DNA form genes, this…

Scientists identify key role of T-bet in flu memory B cells
At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the immune system, and immune cells produce a potentially lifesaving antibody against the virus. Antigen in,…

Morphology and phylogeny reveal two new species and a new geographical record of Agaricus sect. Rubricosi (Agaricales) from West Bengal, India
Phylogenetic analyses
The phylogenetic analyses were conducted using the combined datasets of nrITS and LSU rDNA sequences (Fig. 1). All 106 sequences were aligned, and both ends were trimmed to create a dataset of 647 nucleotides that included…
