Events Remembering Support Via Character Relationships’ Visualization of Novels
When people read a long novel, they usually find it difficult to finish it at once. Therefore, people have to repeat the “read-and-pause” step before finishing a story. This would cause a lot of confusion in t...

Open AccessA new approach to biomining: Bioengineering surfaces for metal recovery from aqueous solutions
Electronics waste production has been fueled by economic growth and the demand for faster, more efficient consumer electronics. The glass and metals in end-of-life electronics components can be reused or recyc...

Open AccessHorizontal transfer of code fragments between protocells can explain the origins of the genetic code without vertical descent
Theories of the origin of the genetic code typically appeal to natural selection and/or mutation of hereditable traits to explain its regularities and error robustness, yet the present translation system presu...

Open AccessReconstruction of cysteine biosynthesis using engineered cysteine-free enzymes
Amino acid biosynthesis pathways observed in nature typically require enzymes that are made with the amino acids they produce. For example, Escherichia coli produces cysteine from serine via two enzymes that cont...

Open AccessAn overhang-based DNA block shuffling method for creating a customized random library
We present an overhang-based DNA block shuffling method to create a customized random DNA library with flexible sequence design and length. Our method enables the efficient and seamless assembly of short DNA b...

Open AccessComputational prediction and experimental validation of evolutionarily conserved microRNA target genes in bilaterian animals
In many eukaryotes, microRNAs (miRNAs) bind to complementary sites in the 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and regulate their expression at the stage of translation. Recent st...

Disrupted tRNA Gene Diversity and Possible Evolutionary Scenarios
The following unusual tRNAs have recently been discovered in the genomes of Archaea and primitive Eukaryota: multiple-intron-containing tRNAs, which have more than one intron; split tRNAs, which are produced f...
