Open AccessMeasurement of e+e− → ωη′ cross sections at \( \sqrt{s} \) = 2.000 to 3.080 GeV
We measured the Born cross sections for the process e+e− → ωη′ at 22 center-of-mass energies from 2.000 to 3.080 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. We observed a resonant structure with a statis...

TnpB homologues exapted from transposons are RNA-guided transcription factors
Transposon-encoded tnpB and iscB genes encode RNA-guided DNA nucleases that promote their own selfish spread through targeted DNA cleavage and homologous recombination1–4. These widespread gene families were repe...

Open AccessMET-receptor targeted fluorescent imaging and spectroscopy to detect multifocal papillary thyroid cancer
Multifocal disease in PTC is associated with an increased recurrence rate. Multifocal disease (MD) is underdiagnosed with the current gold standard of pre-operative ultrasound staging. Here, we evaluate the us...

Can we aggregate voters’ perceptions of political parties’ left–right positions? Formal and probabilistic tests of the left–right scale as a unidimensional common space on cross-national and longitudinal data
The left–right scale is widely assumed to be a common space, a joint yardstick that facilitates political communication. Aggregate voter perceptions of party positions on the left–right scale are widely used b...
