Foreshock productivity and rupture nucleation in injection-induced earthquakes in western Canada | Science
Foreshock activity is a key consideration in traffic-light protocol (TLP) to mitigate seismic risk from injection-induced earthquakes (IIEs). However, the seismogenic processes of IIE foreshocks remain poorly understood. Using an enhanced western Canada ...

Genomic predisposition is associated with the direction of sex chromosome evolution | Science
Sex chromosome evolution is among the most dynamic genomic innovations in vertebrates, yet why some lineages evolve XY while others evolve ZW remains unclear. Using chromosome-level genomes from 19 geckos, we found that gecko sex chromosomes originated ...
Nonviral delivery of chemically modified tRNA rescues nonsense mutations in cystic fibrosis | Science
Suppressor transfer RNAs (sup-tRNAs) can rescue disease-causing nonsense mutations by promoting readthrough of premature termination codons (PTCs). Their clinical translation is limited by suboptimal activity and inefficient in vivo delivery. In this ...
