"Wrecks of Ancient Life": Genetic Variants Vetted by Natural Selection.

abstract：:Regulation of cytoskeletal structure and dynamics is essential for multiple aspects of cellular behavior, yet there is much to learn about the molecular machinery underlying the coordination between the cytoskeleton and its effector systems. One group of proteins that regulate microtubule behavior and its interaction ...
