1.Net loss. The past few decades have seen exponential growth in the volume of new scientific and technological knowledge. But, as Russell Funk and his colleagues reveal in this week’s issue, this increase in knowledge has not led to a similar spate of major advances — in fact, several big fields show signs of progress slowing. Analysing data on 45 million papers and 3.9 million patents published in the past six decades, the researchers find that both are becoming less disruptive of the status quo, leading to a web of knowledge that is less vibrant (visualized on the cover by the increasing simplification and washed out look of the threads). The team suggests that the slower rate of disruption might signal a fundamental shift in the nature of science and technology.
净亏损。过去几十年来,新科学技术知识的数量呈指数级增长。但是,正如拉塞尔·冯克(Russell Funk)和他的同事在本周的期刊中所揭示的那样,知识的增长并没有带来类似的重大进展——事实上,几个重大领域显示出进展放缓的迹象。通过分析过去 6 年来发表的 4500 万篇论文和 390 万项专利的数据,研究人员发现,两者对现状的破坏性都在减弱,从而导致知识网络不再那么活跃(封面上的内容越来越简单化并洗掉了螺纹的外观)。该团队认为,破坏速度减慢可能标志着科学和技术性质的根本转变。

2.Carried away. The flow of sediment across deserts, through rivers or along coasts transports vast quantities of granular material over huge distances. Understanding the mechanics of this movement has a wide range of applications including river and coastal restoration, pollution mitigation and even understanding past and present climates on other worlds. But developing accurate models for sediment transport has proved challenging. In this week’s issue, Eric Deal and his colleagues reveal that although many models consider grain size, grain shape also exerts a significant influence on sediment movement and might account for differences between previous models and measurements. The researchers have developed a theory that accounts for the effects of grain shape on drag and friction. Having verified the theory in the lab, they propose a shape-corrected law for sediment transport that they believe will provide more accurate results for natural sediment grains.
被带走。沉积物流经沙漠、河流或沿海,将大量颗粒物质输送到很远的地方。了解这种运动的机制具有广泛的应用,包括河流和海岸恢复、污染减轻,甚至了解其他世界过去和现在的气候。但事实证明,开发准确的沉积物输送模型具有挑战性。在本周的期刊中,埃里克·迪尔(Eric Deal)和他的同事透露,尽管许多模型考虑了颗粒尺寸,但颗粒形状也对沉积物运动产生了重大影响,并可能解释了先前模型和测量之间的差异。研究人员开发了一种理论来解释颗粒形状对阻力和摩擦的影响。在实验室验证了这一理论后,他们提出了一种沉积物传输的形状校正定律,他们相信这将为天然沉积物颗粒提供更准确的结果。

3.Lines of descent. The historic isolation of Finland’s population has resulted in a genetic make-up that is relatively homogeneous (as illustrated on the cover). In this week’s issue, two papers make use of Finland’s unique heritage to probe the genetics of disease. At the heart of this work is the FinnGen study, which aims to explore the genomes and health data of 500,000 Finns. The first paper analyses data from 224,737 Finns, finding 1,838 genetic variants that influence 681 different diseases. These include 702 potentially novel, low-frequency variant associations. The second paper focuses on recessive conditions — in which the genes inherited from each parent must both be defective to cause disease — finding a number of Finnish-specific associations and uncovering a larger complexity of genetic inheritance than previously appreciated.
血统线。芬兰人口历史上的隔离导致其基因组成相对同质(如封面所示)。在本周的期刊中,有两篇论文利用芬兰独特的遗产来探讨疾病的遗传学。这项工作的核心是 FinnGen 研究,旨在探索 50 万芬兰人的基因组和健康数据。第一篇论文分析了 224,737 名芬兰人的数据,发现了影响 681 种不同疾病的 1,838 种遗传变异。其中包括 702 个潜在新颖的低频变异关联。第二篇论文重点关注隐性病症(其中从父母双方继承的基因都必须有缺陷才能导致疾病),发现了许多芬兰特有的关联,并揭示了比以前认识到的更复杂的遗传遗传。

4.Stops making sense. When genes are read by ribosomes, stop codons act as punctuation, telling the ribosome when to halt protein synthesis. But in some protozoa, the base sequences that comprise stop codons can also encode amino acids, depending on where in the messenger RNA the codon appears. In this week’s issue, Leoš Shivaya Valášek and his colleagues reveal how these organisms recognize when codons should be read as an instruction to code and when as an order to stop. The researchers focused on a previously undescribed unicellular parasite called Blastocrithidia nonstop. They found that it has fundamental changes associated with the transfer RNA molecules that allow the ribosome to read stop codons as amino acids and so produce full-length proteins.
不再有意义了。当核糖体读取基因时,终止密码子充当标点符号,告诉核糖体何时停止蛋白质合成。但在一些原生动物中,包含终止密码子的碱基序列也可以编码氨基酸,具体取决于密码子在信使 RNA 中出现的位置。在本周的期刊中,Leoš Shivaya Valášek 和他的同事揭示了这些生物体如何识别何时应将密码子视为编码指令以及何时应将其视为停止命令。研究人员将注意力集中在一种以前未被描述过的单细胞寄生虫上,这种寄生虫被称为“Blastocrithidia”。他们发现它具有与转移RNA分子相关的根本性变化,使核糖体将终止密码子读取为氨基酸,从而产生全长蛋白质。
