How to measure and evaluate binding affinities | eLife
Aug 6, 2020 · Quantitative measurements of biomolecule associations are central to biological understanding and are needed to build and test predictive and mechanistic models. Given the advances in high-throughput technologies and the projected increase in the availability of binding data, we found it especially timely to evaluate the current standards for ...
Centrioles: One master to rule them all | eLife
Sep 23, 2022 · eLife 11:e82873. The skeleton of filaments that gives animal and other eukaryotic cells their shape is organized in large part by two cylindrical structures called centrioles. Every cell cycle, the centrioles duplicate to form the mitotic spindle that separates the cell’s genetic material evenly between the daughter cells during cell division ...
Publishing and peer review at eLife · eLife
2 Peer review. eLife editors - who are all active researchers - discuss new submissions and decide which will be peer reviewed. The criteria used by the editors are discussed in “How and why eLife selects papers for peer review”.. Each peer reviewer is asked to write a Public Review of the article, and to recommend ways in which the authors could improve it.

Lung evolution in vertebrates and the water-to-land transition
Jul 26, 2022 · All life on Earth started out under water. However, around 400 million years ago some vertebrates, such as fish, started developing limbs and other characteristics that allowed them to explore life on land. One of the most pivotal features to evolve was the lungs, which gave vertebrates the ability to breathe above water. Most land-living vertebrates, including humans, have two lungs which sit ...

The Natural History of Model Organisms: The secret lives of
Jun 4, 2015 · Drosophila: D. hydei (the larger, dark flies) and D. melanogaster and D. simulans (the smaller, lighter flies) interacting at a food source. Although there is little sexual dimorphism between males and females of the D. hydei species, males can be distinguished in the video because they approach other flies to court. In the D. melanogaster and D. simulans species, males are smaller than the ...
Evolution: Of starch and spit - eLife
May 14, 2019 · The amylase gene (AMY), which codes for a starch-digesting enzyme in animals, underwent several gene copy number gains in humans (Perry et al., 2007), dogs (Axelsson et al., 2013), and mice (Schibler et al., 1982), possibly along with increased starch consumption during the evolution of these species.Here, we present comprehensive evidence for AMY copy number expansions that independently ...
