TL;DR: A protocol in which libraries are constructed from single DNA strands in a three-step procedure: single-stranded ligation of the first adapter with T4 DNA ligase in the presence of a splinter oligonucleotide, copying of the DNA strand with a proofreading polymerase, and blunt-end ligation.

TL;DR: The method enables fast, cost‐efficient, large‐scale integration of contemporary and historical specimens for assessment of genome‐wide genetic trends over time, independent of genome size and presence of a reference genome.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic placement of the ancient European leopard as sister group to Asian leopards suggests that these populations originate from the same out-of-Africa dispersal which founded the Asian lineages.

TL;DR: This work sequenced the exome of 20 humans, 20 chimpanzees and 20 bonobos and detected eight coding trans-species polymorphisms (trSNPs) that are shared among the three species and have segregated for approximately 14 million years of independent evolution, and uncovered one coding trSNP in LAD1, a gene that encodes for Ladinin-1, an autoantigen responsible for linear IgA disease.

TL;DR: In this article, a collision between two conjugated polymer (CP) molecules in solution leads to simultaneous rupture of both chains, and the catalytic effect of the chain bending is also enhanced by a prolonged interaction between the chains owing to their entanglement.
