Genome sequencing enhances our understanding of the biological world by providing
blueprints for the evolutionary and functional diversity that shapes the biosphere. However …

Cancer cell migration and invasion are integral components of metastatic disease, which is
the major cause of death in cancer patients. Cancer cells can disseminate and migrate via …

An unexpectedly large fraction of genes in metazoans (human, mouse, zebrafish, worm, fruit
fly) express high levels of circularized RNAs containing canonical exons. Here we report that …

Protein phosphatases are the essential opposite to protein kinases; together, these enzymes
regulate all protein phosphorylation and most cellular processes. To better understand the …
