Science is a leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million.
The strength of Science and its online journal sites rests with the strengths of its community of authors, who provide cutting-edge research, incisive scientific commentary, and insights on what’s important to the scientific world.
They used single-cell RNA sequencing to study changes in the transcriptome through meiosis. These studies revealed increasing specialization as meiosis progressed, with a reorganization of the transcriptome in a transition during the leptotene stage of meiosis. Science, this issue p. 52
The science of science uses large-scale data on the production of science to search for universal and domain-specific patterns. Here, we review recent developments in this transdisciplinary field.

We highlight the main open questions, how future studies might address them, and what new approaches are needed to advance the science and technology of seawater desalination.
The open access journal Health Data Science, published in association with PKU, publishes innovative, scientifically-rigorous research to advance health data science.
With progress on so many fronts, we’re seeing a takeoff for life science foundation models that are deepening our understanding of biomolecular structure, function, evolution, and interaction, along with the inner workings of cells.
