TL;DR: PolyA-seq is shown to be as accurate as existing RNA sequencing approaches for digital gene expression (DGE), enabling simultaneous mapping of polyA sites and quantitative measurement of their usage, and usage is more similar within the same tissues across different species than within a species.

TL;DR: A method for rapid purification, concentration, and detection of target analytes from complex matrixes using antibody-coated superparamagnetic nanobeads (immunomagnetic beads, or IMBs), which dramatically increased the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detection signal from staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB).

TL;DR: The development of a portable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor system for detection of cortisol in saliva that is sufficiently sensitive for clinical use and useful for a wide range of applications where small molecular weight analytes are found in complex matrixes.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, precise deletion of the six IQ sites in the neck region results in a myosin that can support the growth of a yeast strain at 90% the rate of a wild-type isogenic strain and suggests that MLC1p is responsible for stabilizing this myo2p by binding to the necks region.

TL;DR: A genetic analysis indicates that mutations in CMD1 show allele- specific synthetic lethality with the myo2-66 conditional mutation, and four lines of evidence suggest that Myo2p is a target of calmodulin at sites of cell growth, and the interaction between Myo-2p and cal modulin is Ca2+ independent.
