How a TF binds the genome is controlled by both DBDs and IDRs, but it remains difficult to predict the relative contributions of these two regions. We demonstrated that very short activation domains can control the fraction of TF molecules…

Two classes of amine/glutamate multi-transmitter neurons innervate Drosophila internal male reproductive organs
Having established that both OGNs and SGNs innervate the male reproductive system, an obvious question follows: what are their roles in male fertility? It has previously been reported that OA-deficient flies are male fertile and female…

Q&A: Growing novel ultra-pure materials for tomorrow’s electronics
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Pairing elements such as sulfur, selenium or tellurium with metals produces compounds whose atomic interactions give them unusual and useful electrical, optical and magnetic behavior. These materials, called…
