Evolution of the axial skeleton of early dinosaurs and the role of meristic and homeotic processes

Abstract Changes in the axial skeleton played an important role in dinosaur evolution, with some of the oldest dinosaurs showing evidence of sacralization events. The increased number of early dinosaur discoveries over the last decade provides an opportunity to better characteriz...

Mechanical Signatures of Nucleic Acid Trefoil Knot Topology

Molecular knots represent a fundamental form of polymer topology, yet their mechanical behavior in nucleic acids remains largely unexplored. Here, we engineer a single-stranded DNA sequence that can fold into either a knot or a pseudoknot while maintaining identical base-pairing...
