DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14123
Abstract: Organisms adjust their gene expression to improve fitness in diverse environments. But finding the optimal expression in each environment presents a challenge. We ask how good cells are at finding such optima by studying the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-73623-x
Abstract: While many informal factors influence how people interact, modern societies rely upon law as a primary mechanism to formally control human behaviour. How legal rules impact societal development depends on the interplay between two types… read more here.

Abstract: We undertake a detailed numerical study of the Active Model B proposed by Wittkowski et al., [Nature Commun. 5, 4351 (2014)]2041-172310.1038/ncomms5351. We find that the introduction of activity has a drastic effect on the ordering… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.125.028103
Abstract: Bacterial ribosomes are composed of one-third protein and two-thirds RNA by mass. The predominance of RNA is often attributed to a primordial RNA world, but why exactly two-thirds remains a long-standing mystery. Here we present… read more here.
