An Adagio for Viruses, Played Out on Ancient Dna.
Studies of ancient DNA have transformed our understanding of human evolution. Paleogenomics can also reveal historic and prehistoric agents of disease, including endemic, epidemic, and pandemic pathogens. Viruses-and in...

Structures of Apo Cas12a and Its Complex with Crrna and Dna Reveal the Dynamics of Ternary Complex Formation and Target Dna Cleavage.
Cas12a is a programmable nuclease for adaptive immunity against invading nucleic acids in CRISPR-Cas systems. Here, we report the crystal structures of apo Cas12a from Lachnospiraceae bacterium MA2020 (Lb2) and the...

Evolution and Dispersal of Snakes Across the Cretaceous-Paleogene Mass Extinction.
Mass extinctions have repeatedly shaped global biodiversity. The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction caused the demise of numerous vertebrate groups, and its aftermath saw the rapid diversification of surviving mammals...

Climatic Windows for Human Migration Out of Africa in the Past 300,000 Years.
Whilst an African origin of modern humans is well established, the timings and routes of their expansions into Eurasia are the subject of heated debate, due to the scarcity of fossils and the lack of suitably old ancient DNA....

Nucleosome Plasticity Is a Critical Element of Chromatin Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation and Multivalent Nucleosome Interactions.
Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an important mechanism that helps explain the membraneless compartmentalization of the nucleus. Because chromatin compaction and LLPS are collective phenomena, linking their modulation to...

Postal Recruitment for Genetic Studies of Preterm Birth a Feasibility Study.
Background: Preterm birth (PTB) represents the leading cause of neonatal death. Large-scale genetic studies are necessary to determine genetic influences on PTB risk, but prospective cohort studies are expensive and...

A Survey of Error Correction for Next Generation Sequencing
Next-generation sequences (NGS) is a very important process drawback to review the population sizes of deoxyribonucleic acid molecules and to scale back the redundancies in NGS information. The arrival of next-generation...

Oswald Avery and the Sugar-Coated Microbe: [Dr. Oswald T. Avery]
Rockefeller University Research Profiles are a series of scientific profiles that were published quarterly, from 1980-1990, by the Rockefeller University. Each issue features the research and achievements of an individual...
The Efficacy of Dna Vaccination Is Enhanced in Mice by Targeting the Encoded Protein to Dendritic Cells
DNA vaccines promote an immune response by providing antigen-encoding DNA to the recipient, but the efficacy of such vaccines needs improving. Many approaches have considerable potential but currently induce relatively weak...

Science in a Byte
A new e-mail newsletter: In 1944, three Rockefeller University scientists discovered the chemical basis of heredity, laying the groundwork for the 1953 revelation DNA's double helix.
Synthesis and Assembly of Oligonucleotide-Stabilized Lipid Micelles
Lipid micelles represent an important class of nanoparticle with the potential to enhance the solubility and delivery of hydrophobic drugs and imaging agents. Their small size (< 50 nm) makes them ideal candidates for both...

Effects of Dna Interactions on the Assembly and Stability of Oligonucleotide-Lipid Nanoparticles
Lipid micelles can be used to deliver hydrophobic pharmaceuticals in the bloodstream; however, micelles are inherently unstable because they require a large concentration of lipid to form, and they interact with serum proteins...

65 years ago three scientists at The Rockefeller University Hospital discovered the chemical basis of heredity, launching the era of molecular biology
Characterizing Lz6, a Suppressor of the Pam-1 Mutation in C. Elegans
The gene pam-1 encodes a puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase that, in mutant form, causes several deleterious phenotypes in C. elegans, including lowered hatch rate and disturbed cytoskeletal and cortical activity around...
