Tug-of-war between actomyosin-driven antagonistic forces determines the positioning symmetry in cell-sized confinement.

abstract：:Knowing which proteins and RNAs directly interact is essential for understanding cellular mechanisms. Unfortunately, discovering such interactions is costly and often unreliable. To overcome these limitations, we developed rec-YnH, a new yeast two and three-hybrid-based screening pipeline capable of detecting interact...
