THE INTERNET IS THINKING
Earlier sources: Science
Science investigates the natural world through observation, experiments, and mathematical models. Explore papers and developments in biology, medicine, materials, neuroscience, physics, climate, and mathematics; a reported finding is not necessarily established consensus.
SYMTRI organizes observations from public sources into a living map. Connections reflect shared subject matter; they do not establish causation or endorse a source.
Open in the map ↗1472 classified signals in the fourteen-day window. Recent momentum: steady. These counts include signals awaiting readable evidence.
Earlier sources
Up to ten sources with readable evidence, ordered by their feed timestamp. These archive sources can be older than the live fourteen-day window. This list is a sample, not a measure of total activity. Dates distinguish paper publication, repository creation, model/dataset activity, Hacker News posts, and KEV catalog additions. “First archived” records when SYMTRI first stored the signal.

Jasmonate-induced expansion of the MYC2 cistrome occurs within a preconfigured chromatin landscape ↗
The transcription factor (TF) MYC2 is a central regulator of jasmonate (JA) signaling, yet its genome-wide occupancy has primarily been characterized using transgenic lines expressing tagged MYC2 proteins, leaving the dynamics of the native MYC2 cistrome unresolved. Here, using a MYC2-specific antibody, we define the wildtype MYC2 cistrome in Arabidopsis thaliana under basal and JA-induced conditions. Native MYC2 showed minimal genome-wide occupancy under control conditions but underwent a pronounced expansion following JA treatment, resulting in more than 3,000 binding sites enriched at core

Genome-wide mapping of endogenous topoisomerase cleavage complexes reveals TOP1 at the interface of DNA topological regulation and genome instability ↗
Topoisomerase cleavage complexes (TOPcc) are covalent protein-DNA intermediates formed transiently during topoisomerase catalysis and constitute a major class of DNA-protein crosslinks in human cells, yet their endogenous genomic distributions remain difficult to resolve. Here, we developed protein-DNA adduct immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (pDAIP-seq), a highly sensitive method for detecting endogenous TOPcc that enables their genome-wide profiling under normal physiological conditions without stabilization by topoisomerase poisons. Using pDAIP-seq, we found that camptothecin treat

Programming primary human T cells to deliver gene editing machinery ↗
Clinical applications of gene editors including CRISPR-Cas9 are limited by the cell-type specificity and tissue penetrance of current in vivo delivery options. Cell-mediated gene editor delivery could overcome these obstacles. To date, systems utilizing immortalized cell lines have demonstrated gene editor delivery in vitro. Because T cells traffic throughout the organism and engage in intercellular communication with individual target cells, we wondered whether they could be engineered to deliver gene editing machinery. Here, we demonstrate that primary human T cells can produce retroviral-ba

Corallimorpharian genome supports the monophyly of Scleractinia and illuminates the cellular evolution of coral calcification ↗
The production of calcified skeletons by stony corals is the cornerstone of reef ecosystems and the persistence of marine biodiversity. Corallimorpharians, sometimes described as naked corals, resemble stony corals in many respects but lack hardened skeletons. However, whether they are stony corals that secondarily lost their skeletons has been a subject of much debate. Here, we present a chromosome-level genome of the corallimorpharian Ricordea yuma and show that macrosynteny and microsynteny analyses provide strong support for corallimorpharians as the sister group to stony corals. This phyl

A Natural qE- and qZ-Deficient Alga Retains Functional Plant-Like and Chlorophycean Violaxanthin De-Epoxidases ↗
Photosynthetic organisms protect themselves from excess light through non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), a process that safely dissipates excess light energy as heat. Current understanding of NPQ is largely drawn from a few model systems, leaving it unclear how universal NPQ mechanisms are across the green lineage. We characterize the slow, sustained NPQ of the green alga, Auxenochlorella protothecoides x symbiontica (UTEX 250-A). The Auxenochlorella genome lacks Light-Harvesting Complex Stress Related (LHCSR), one of the two proteins required for the fast energy-dependent quenching (qE) compo

X-Y divergence of house fly (Musca domestica) proto-sex chromosomes follows distinct evolutionary trajectories despite residing in the same genome ↗
Sex determination systems and sex chromosomes frequently differ between species. One cause of these differences is new sex determining genes that drive evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes. At the earliest stages of this turnover, X and Y (or Z and W) chromosomes start out as nearly identical homologs, and they can diverge via chromosomal rearrangements (e.g., inversions) that suppress X-Y recombination. However, multiple examples from across animals and plants provide exceptions to this canonical model of sex chromosome evolution. For example, some X-Y pairs remain undifferentiated for lo

A kinetic-aware approach to infer metabolic variations and flux using transcriptomics and metabolomics data ↗
Assessing metabolic variations and flux quantities enable systematic understandings of metabolic shifts, reprogramming, adaptation and interactions in human diseases. However, omics-based estimation of metabolic flux and its variation remains challenging due to several fundamental limitations: the need for disease and tissue context specific metabolic model; nonlinear enzyme kinetic model that links enzyme and substrate changes to reaction flux; partial, unpaired, and snap-shot measurements across omics modalities; and uncertainty in computational prediction. Here, we present Michaelis-Menten

Epigenetic regulators partition the genome by evolutionary and developmental constraint ↗
Many epigenetic regulators play essential roles in animal development, but precisely how they function across different cell types without clear sequence preferences remains a foundational challenge. Here, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing to survey the mutant phenotypes of 30 essential regulatory pathways across over 450 gastrulation stage mouse embryo replicates, including essential factors associated with repressive chromatin states, RNA surveillance/processing, and other genomic roles. We then use this integrated manifold to partition mutant responses into a developmentally-resolved i

ST-DISTAL: Dual-Branch Graph Convolution with Distributional Alignment for Cell-Type Deconvolution ↗
Spatial transcriptomics enables high-throughput gene expression profiling while preserving spatial information, offering valuable insights into tissue architecture and cellular organization. Methods that achieve single-cell or subcellular spatial resolution typically rely on predefined gene panels, which limits genome-wide discovery. In contrast, sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics platforms provide broad transcriptome coverage but measure expression at lower spatial resolution, capturing mixtures of multiple cell types within each spatial location and thereby requiring accurate cell-type

AntiCapt: Fine-Tuned Nucleotide Language Models for Predicting and Designing Anticancer Aptamers ↗
Over the past decade, aptamers have emerged as promising therapeutics, with cancer therapeutics as a major research area. Existing computational methods, however, either predict aptamer-target pairs or design aptamers against a specific target. In this study, we present AntiCapt, a computational method for identifying single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) anticancer aptamers (ACAs) using sequence descriptors and fine-tuned nucleotide language models. The main dataset comprises 1,021 experimentally validated ACAs and an equal number of non-aptamer sequences. Comparative analysis revealed distinct pattern

How to assess evidence about Science
Check each original source for its methods, release status, limitations, and supporting data. A repository announcement, a preprint, and a published study provide different kinds of evidence. SYMTRI’s subject classification helps discovery; it does not independently validate the source’s claims.
