Blaming our genes: The heritability of behavior
A weekly newsletter featuring the biggest ideas from the smartest people It’s easy to accept that human disorders such as phenylketonuria or cystic fibrosis or Huntington’s disease have a wholly genetic basis. And you likely have no problem believing that your risk of being afflicted with an illness such as heart disease, diabetes, or colon cancer is influenced by your personal DNA code. The question of heredity becomes more complicated, however, when we consider complex behaviors.
Understanding genetic variants in context
Introduction As a consequence of stunning technological advances – especially in DNA-sequencing – current databases hold hundreds of millions of human single-nucleotide variants, with nearly 5 million in the tiny portion of the genome that encodes protein sequence (Figure 1).
Arabidopsis and maize terminator strength is determined by GC content, polyadenylation motifs and cleavage probability - Nature Communications
Abstract The 3’ end of a gene, often called a terminator, modulates mRNA stability, localization, translation, and polyadenylation. Here, we adapted Plant STARR-seq, a massively parallel reporter assay, to measure the activity of over 50,000 terminators from the plants Arabidopsis thaliana and Zea mays. We characterize thousands of plant terminators, including many that outperform bacterial terminators commonly used in plants.

The Archaeology of Inequality
Ancient skeletons, funerary practices, and DNA reveal layers of inequality in past societies. BeeLine Reader uses subtle color gradients to help you read more efficiently. Listen to this article Brought to you by Curio, an MIT Press partner ... November 26, 1922, marks what is arguably the most famous discovery in the history of archaeology.
Born Knowing: Baby Chicks and Baby Humans
Why do baby chicks prefer a self-propelled moving object to an inanimate one, and a face over a nonface-like object? Illus: Claudia Losi Despite the phylogenetic distance between us — the last common ancestor to birds and mammals dates back almost 300 million years — baby chicks and baby humans seem to have similar patterns for the recognition of stimuli of high social value.
Effects of sequence motifs in the yeast 3′ untranslated region determined from massively parallel assays of random sequences - Genome Biology
Genome Biology volume 22, Article number: 293 (2021) Cite this article Abstract Background The 3′ untranslated region (UTR) plays critical roles in determining the level of gene expression through effects on activities such as mRNA stability and translation. Functional elements within this region have largely been identified through analyses of native genes, which contain multiple co-evolved sequence features.
A series of botanical encounters in the rainforest, excerpted from Francis Hallé’s book “Atlas of Poetic Botany.” The French botanist and biologist Francis Hallé has spent 40 years in pursuit of the strange and beautiful plant specimens of the rainforest. In his “Atlas of Poetic Botany,” excerpted below, he invites readers to tour the farthest reaches of the rainforest in search of exotic — and poetic — plant life.
Self-Medicating Chimps, Pugilistic Shrimp, and Other Remarkable Animals: An Illustrated Guide
A short catalog of wondrous beings, excerpted from Emmanuelle Pouydebat's book "Atlas of Poetic Zoology." “I feel that there’s nothing more important than to pass on, to my son, the little piece of nothing and everything that I’ve observed — the happiness that comes from watching a dragonfly, spider, frog, lizard, elephant, parrot, mouse, orangutan, or ladybug,” Emmanuelle Pouydebat writes in her new book, “Atlas of Poetic Zoology.” “Each individual creature enriches my own existence...
Blaming Our Genes: The Heritability of Behavior
When it comes to behavior, genetics may play a larger role than you think. Twin studies offer unique opportunities to measure genetic influences associated with individual differences in a behavior. Photo source: Amit Ranjan, via Unsplash It’s easy to accept that human disorders such as phenylketonuria or cystic fibrosis or Huntington’s disease have a wholly genetic basis.
High-throughput identification of dominant negative polypeptides in yeast
Abstract Dominant negative polypeptides can inhibit protein function by binding to a wild-type subunit or by titrating a ligand. Here we use high-throughput sequencing of libraries composed of fragments of yeast genes to identify polypeptides that act in a dominant negative manner, in that they are depleted during cell growth.

Corrigendum: Massively parallel single-amino-acid mutagenesis
In the version of this article initially published, the unit (nM) for the dUTP concentration described in the “Wild-type template preparation” section of the Online Methods was incorrect. The correct unit should be ?M. The error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article as of 10 April 2017.
