Open AccessOrganic photodiodes with bias-switchable photomultiplication and photovoltaic modes
The limited sensitivity of photovoltaic-type photodiodes makes it indispensable to use pre-amplifier circuits for effectively extracting electrical signals, especially when detecting dim light. Additionally, t...

Open AccessThe Gastrodia elata genome provides insights into plant adaptation to heterotrophy
We present the 1.06 Gb sequenced genome of Gastrodia elata, an obligate mycoheterotrophic plant, which contains 18,969 protein-coding genes. Many genes conserved in other plant species have been deleted from the

Open AccessGenome-wide DNA methylation changes associated with olfactory learning and memory in Apis mellifera
The honeybee is a model organism for studying learning and memory formation and its underlying molecular mechanisms. While DNA methylation is well studied in caste differentiation, its role in learning and mem...

Open AccessScallop genome reveals molecular adaptations to semi-sessile life and neurotoxins
Bivalve molluscs are descendants of an early-Cambrian lineage superbly adapted to benthic filter feeding. Adaptations in form and behavior are well recognized, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are large...

Open AccessExosomal microRNAs in giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) breast milk: potential maternal regulators for the development of newborn cubs
The physiological role of miRNAs is widely understood to include fine-tuning the post-transcriptional regulation of a wide array of biological processes. Extensive studies have indicated that exosomal miRNAs i...

Open AccessStarving honey bee (Apis mellifera) larvae signal pheromonally to worker bees
Cooperative brood care is diagnostic of animal societies. This is particularly true for the advanced social insects and the honey bee is the best understood of the insect societies. A brood pheromone signaling...

Open AccessGenetic responses to seasonal variation in altitudinal stress: whole-genome resequencing of great tit in eastern Himalayas
Species that undertake altitudinal migrations are exposed to a considerable seasonal variation in oxygen levels and temperature. How they cope with this was studied in a population of great tit (Parus major) that...

Genome-wide association study identifies new susceptibility loci for epithelial ovarian cancer in Han Chinese women
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancies worldwide. Here we perform a three-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) in Han Chinese women to identify risk genetic variant...

Open AccessMicroRNA-142-3p is frequently upregulated in colorectal cancer and may be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation
MicroRNAs are small single-stranded RNA molecules consisting of approximately 22 nucleotides (nt), and have post-transcriptional regulatory functions. By gene chip screening, we previously showed that miR-142-...

Ground tit genome reveals avian adaptation to living at high altitudes in the Tibetan plateau
The ground tit (Parus humilis) is endemic to the Tibetan plateau. It is a member of family Paridae but it was long thought to be related to the ground jays because of their morphological similarities. Here we pre...

An atlas of DNA methylomes in porcine adipose and muscle tissues
It is evident that epigenetic factors, especially DNA methylation, have essential roles in obesity development. Here, using pig as a model, we investigate the systematic association between DNA methylation and...

Erratum: The sequence and de novo assembly of the giant panda genome
Nature 463, 311–317 (2010) In this Article, the Latin species name of the giant panda was written incorrectly as Ailuropoda melanoleura. The correct name is Ailuropoda melanoleuca.

Open AccessThe sequence and de novo assembly of the giant panda genome
Using next-generation sequencing technology alone, we have successfully generated and assembled a draft sequence of the giant panda genome. The assembled contigs (2.25 gigabases (Gb)) cover approximately 94% o...

Preparation and optical properties of composite thin films with embedded InP nanoparticles
InP nanoparticles embedded in SiO2 thin films were prepared by radio-frequency magnetron co-sputtering. We analyzed the structure and growth behavior of the composite films under different preparation conditions....
