TL;DR: The genome of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe), which contains the smallest number of protein-coding genes yet recorded for a eukaryote, is sequenced and highly conserved genes important for eukARYotic cell organization including those required for the cytoskeleton, compartmentation, cell-cycle control, proteolysis, protein phosphorylation and RNA splicing are identified.

TL;DR: It is shown that MinION sequence reads can enhance contiguity of de novo assembly when used in conjunction with Illumina MiSeq data, as the first nanopore-based single molecule sequencer available to researchers.

TL;DR: Production of petroleum-replica hydrocarbons in Escherichia coli is reported on to demonstrate the ability to design and implement artificial molecular pathways for the production of renewable, industrially relevant fuel molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make an initial informed guess at the scale of chronic poverty in remote rural areas (RRAs), and make an attempt to map conflicts at a regional and national level in order to further investigate the relation between remoteness, conflict, vulnerability and poverty.

TL;DR: It is shown that in Arabidopsis the current and prior temperature experience of the mother plant is used to control germination of progeny seeds, via the activation of the florigen Flowering Locus T in fruit tissues.
