Analysis of EET on Ca increasing the melting point of Mg17Al12 phase
The present investigation showed that the additions of Ca to the alloy AZ91 were mainly dissolved into the Mg17Al12 phase and increased its melting point and thermal stability, which would have great effects on t...

Open AccessThe draft genome of the transgenic tropical fruit tree papaya (Carica papaya Linnaeus)
In the early 1990s an outbreak of papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) in the papaya groves in the Puna district of Hawaii caused severe damage to an important crop. Since then, the planting of two transgenic cultivar...

Open AccessThe diploid genome sequence of an Asian individual
Here we present the first diploid genome sequence of an Asian individual. The genome was sequenced to 36-fold average coverage using massively parallel sequencing technology. We aligned the short reads onto th...

Open AccessMercury isotope variations in surface soils in different contaminated areas in Guizhou Province, China
Guizhou Province is known as a heavily Hg-polluted area in China due to its special geochemical background and complicated Hg emission sources. In this study, we investigated the Hg isotope compositions of sur...

Co-evolution of a broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibody and founder virus
Current human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) vaccines elicit strain-specific neutralizing antibodies. However, cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies arise in approximately 20% of HIV-1-infected individuals,...

Open AccessRealization of ferromagnetic graphene oxide with high magnetization by do** graphene oxide with nitrogen
The long spin diffusion length makes graphene very attractive for novel spintronic devices and thus has triggered a quest for integrating the charge and spin degrees of freedom. However, ideal graphene is intr...

SRA- and SET-domain-containing proteins link RNA polymerase V occupancy to DNA methylation
In Arabidopsis, the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway is important for establishing and maintaining DNA methylation — here Pol V is shown to depend on SUVH2 and SUVH9, where both of these proteins are proposed...

Open AccessThe Brassica oleracea genome reveals the asymmetrical evolution of polyploid genomes
Polyploidization has provided much genetic variation for plant adaptive evolution, but the mechanisms by which the molecular evolution of polyploid genomes establishes genetic architecture underlying species d...

Open AccessA carbon nanotube filled polydimethylsiloxane hybrid membrane for enhanced butanol recovery
The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) filled polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) hybrid membrane was fabricated to evaluate its potential for butanol recovery from acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation broth. Compared with...

Open AccessNeuropilin 1 is an entry factor that promotes EBV infection of nasopharyngeal epithelial cells
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is implicated as an aetiological factor in B lymphomas and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The mechanisms of cell-free EBV infection of nasopharyngeal epithelial cells remain elusive. EBV gl...

Open AccessDelocalized Surface State in Epitaxial Si(111) Film with Spontaneous √3 × √3 Superstructure
The “multilayer silicene” films were grown on Ag(111), with increasing thickness above 30 monolayers (ML). Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) observations suggest that the “multilayer silicene” is indeed a bu...

Open AccessJunctional and allele-specific residues are critical for MERS-CoV neutralization by an exceptionally potent germline-like antibody
The MERS-CoV is an emerging virus, which already infected more than 1,300 humans with high (∼36%) mortality. Here, we show that m336, an exceptionally potent human anti-MERS-CoV antibody, is almost germline wi...
