siLentFectTM
Lipid Reagent - Another Successful
Block
Bio-Rad抯 newest lipofection
reagent, siLentFect, has been developed
specifically for the delivery of siRNA to
cultured mammalian cells. The exceptional
affinity and delivery characteristics of
silentFect delivers robust targeted gene
silencing using low lipid volumes and low
concentrations of siRNA.

Attempts to fool the public into mistakenly
believing that lie detectors work do not make for either
good law enforcement or sound public policy.

The truth
about lying 692
Crooks, terrorists and liars can be hard to spot.
But some researchers hope that scanning brains, faces or
voices might reveal deceivers. Jonathan Knight looks at
lie-detection technology, and wonders who is being
fooled.

Evolutionary
biology: Lost and found 703
NEIL H. SHUBIN AND
RANDALL D. DAHN
Can
we ever hope to pin down the genetic changes that
underlie the big steps in evolution? Possibly so, if a
study of the variation in the pelvic fins of
sticklebacks is anything to go by.

The missing black-hole link 704
NATE MCCRADY
A
class of black holes of intermediate mass is expected
but has never been detected. The suggestion that these
beasts might lurk behind powerful X-ray sources in
nearby galaxies is now strengthened.

Cancer: Kip

JOHN G. COLLARD
The

helping to prevent tumours developing. We now know that
it also affects cell migration, by regulating Rho
proteins. Does this function influence tumour
progression?

Animal
behaviour: Fickle females? 708
MICHAEL J. RYAN
The
courtship of satin bowerbirds is a complicated business.
Different parts of a male's display appeal to females of
different ages, so age-biased variation might underlie
the evolution of these displays.

Testing time for El Niño 709
DAVID ANDERSON
Analyses that largely exploit indirect data from

be more predictable than was thought. The results
