974 Scientists finally solve the mystery of yeast’s tiny centromeres

ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily · 03/10/2026 00:30 EDT

Scientists have uncovered how brewer’s yeast developed its unusually tiny centromeres, the DNA regions that guide chromosome separation during cell division. By studying related yeast species, researchers found centromeres that appear to represent evolutionary halfway points. These structures seem to have formed from retrotransposons—mobile “jumping genes” in the genome. The discovery shows how DNA once considered genomic junk can be transformed into essential chromosome machinery.

GMV — это не главная метрика маркетплейса. Поверхностный интеграл по плотности спроса — вот она

Если вы занимаетесь аналитикой в маркетплейсах, вы знаете, что GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) — это «священная корова». Она понятна: сколько денег прошло через платформу. Но у GMV есть критический изъян: она показывает только то, что уже случилось.GMV — это «метрика результата», а не «метрика здоровья». Она не видит упущенных возможностей, разочарованных пользователей и зон, где ваш бизнес вот-вот сломается.Предлагаю взглянуть на маркетплейс как на систему мэтчинга (совмещения) и вывести North...

Почему “кофе и печеньки” больше не привлекают кандидатов?

Известный факт, что при выборе новой работы, мы в первую очередь обращаем внимание на уровень дохода и прозрачность компании. Это логично, так как каждый хочет быть уверенным в завтрашнем дне. Однако, когда проходит какое то время после трудоустройства, премии и бонусы становятся базой и чем-то само собой разумеющимся. Со стороны работодателя, мы давно замечаем на практике, что финансы играют большую роль на входе в компанию, но этого недостаточно для удержания... Read more

MIT neuroscientists have uncovered a surprising secret hidden in the adult brain: millions of “silent synapses,” dormant connections that lie in wait until new learning calls them into action. Once thought to exist only in early development, these inactive links make up about 30% of synapses in the adult cortex and can be rapidly activated to form fresh memories. Read more

Southern Alaska’s winter finale delivered a spectacular atmospheric display, captured by a NASA satellite. Cold Arctic air flowing over warmer ocean waters created long bands of clouds, swirling vortex patterns, and even a compact polar storm with powerful winds. As the air traveled offshore, it evolved into increasingly complex cloud formations. The result was a dramatic, ever-changing sky that highlighted the raw energy of the season’s end. Read more

A new twin study suggests your genes may play a bigger role in your future success than your upbringing.

Centuries ago in England, hats weren’t just accessories—they were statements of power and rebellion. Refusing to remove a hat could challenge authority, even in courtrooms and before kings. People valued their hats so deeply that robbery victims sometimes begged to keep them over money. In a world where going bareheaded signaled poverty or madness, hats shaped identity, respect, and even family discipline. Read more

A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers stumbled upon a bizarre genetic code in a microscopic pond organism. Instead of following the near-universal “rules” of life, this newly identified protist rewrites how genes signal their end. This unexpected discovery challenges long-held assumptions about how genetic translation works and hints that nature may be far more flexible—and mysterious—than scientists realized. Read more
