What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.Comfort, Nathaniel
How do scientists do disease surveillance and study biodiversity through the lens of genomics? Citizen scientist Blacki Migliozzi joined a group of jungle field researchers to find out.
Through anecdotes and stunning photography he will walk us through what it's like to work with big cats, primates, birds, bats, frogs, snakes and many other kinds of organisms. He'll also provide first-hand observations of the habitat loss endangering these ecosystems as well as the dangers scientists put themselves in when doing this important work.

Evaluation of DNA metabarcoding for identifying fish eggs: a case study on the West Florida Shelf
A critical factor in fisheries management is the protection of spawning sites for ecologically and economically important fish species. DNA barcoding (i.e.PeerJ

Regulatory dissection of the severe COVID-19 risk locus introgressed by Neanderthals
Key functional variants, discovered using Massively Parallel Reporter Assay (MPRA) and reporter assays in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection, support the importance of two critical chemokine receptor genes CCR1 and CCR5 in severe Covid-19 illness.Evelyn Jagoda (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd)
