TL;DR: The major arsenic compound in fish, crustacea and molluscs has been identified as arsenobetaine, which is an arseno-analog of glycinebetaine, a very common osmo-regulator in living organisms.

TL;DR: Gene conversion during mating-type switching in yeast, antigenic variation in unicellular microorganisms, and chromosomal gene conversion in mammalian somatic cells are explained by the double-strand break repair model.

TL;DR: Circumstantial evidence indicates the possibility of the direct gating of channels by the membrane deformation itself, and cholinergic muscarinic receptors likely mediate the inhibitory efferent innervation to the hair cell.

TL;DR: A simultaneous analysis of data from organisms as divers as virus and man discovered that there is a set of constraints common to species, which governs the frequency of codon bases, and it can be described by a universal equation.
