Wikipedia as a tool for contemporary history of science: A case study on CRISPR

The paper uses Wikipedia to study the historical development of CRISPR, showing its transition from scientific discovery to biotech revolution and demonstrating a method applicable to other fields.

The pentatricopeptide repeat protein MTSF3 is required for nad2 mRNA stability and embryogenesis in Arabidopsis

This study identifies MTSF3 as a mitochondrial protein essential for nad2 mRNA stability in Arabidopsis, showing it prevents degradation by binding to the 3' end of the transcript.

Community review: a robust and scalable selection system for resource allocation within open science and innovation communities

This paper describes a community review system for rapid, scalable, and fair resource allocation in open science, showing it is faster, more scalable, and as fair as traditional methods.

Evolution of a cytoplasmic determinant: evidence for the biochemical basis of functional evolution of a novel germ line regulator

The paper identifies conserved residues in the Oskar protein that may underlie its germ line regulatory function through dimerization and RNA binding.

Bacterial contribution to genesis of the novel germ line determinant oskar

The paper shows that horizontal gene transfer and de novo gene evolution contributed to the creation of the insect germ line determinant oskar.

Ancestral and offspring nutrition interact to affect life history traits in Drosophila melanogaster

This study examines how ancestral and offspring nutrition affect life history traits in Drosophila melanogaster across three generations, revealing complex interactions and generational effects on phenotypes.
