Foundering of mafic lower continental crust into underlying convecting mantle has been
proposed as one means to explain the unusually evolved chemical composition of Earth's …

Two contrasting intrusive suites have been identified from the northern margin of the North
China craton: a Late Carboniferous dioritegranodiorite suite mainly made up of quartz diorite, …

The Great Xing'an Range in northeastern China is characterized by large-scale Mesozoic
magmatism, and forms a key part of the NE-trending Mesozoic magmatic belt in East China. …

We describe an in situ method for simultaneous measurement of U–Pb–Hf isotopes and
trace element compositions of zircons using a quadrupole and multiple-collector inductively-…

In the Jiangnan orogen, a clear angular unconformity between the Precambrian basement
sequences and the overlying Neoproterozoic sedimentary strata (eg the Danzhou/Banxi …

We report the first large genome-wide association study (GWAS) in a Chinese population to
identify susceptibility variants for psoriasis using a two-stage case-control design. In the first …

This paper reports in situ U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic data on detrital zircons from Paleozoic
to Late Mesozoic strata in the Xishan area near Beijing that provide important constraints on …

In the mouse embryo, the generation of primordial germ cells (PGCs) from the epiblast
requires a bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) signal from the adjacent extraembryonic …

In situ zircon U–Pb and Hf-isotopic data have been determined for mafic microgranular
enclaves and host granitoids from the Early Cretaceous Gudaoling batholith in the Liaodong …

The western end of the Proterozoic Jiangnan orogen is located at the Northern Guangxi, South
China. Neoproterozoic granitoids are dominant (>90%) in the area, with ca. 8% being the …
