The small, highly conserved transmembrane protein disrupted in zebrafish dreammist mutants regulates the activity of the sodium-potassium pump, leading to changes in sleep behaviour.

Application of museomics facilitates characterization of the contribution of historical factors to genetic diversity declines in Numenius shorebirds and highlights that extinction of ecosystem-engineering megafauna may have been detrimental for open-landscape species.
Generation and validation of a new mouse strain as a tool to demonstrate the implication of p38γ/p38δ in inflammation through the regulation of the transcription factor MEF2D’s activity.

The long-range resection machinery is dispensable for homologous recombination between closely linked repeats but is necessary for DNA damage checkpoint activation which is associated with interchromosomal recombination.
A group of neurons in the medulla expressing the tachykinin precursor 1 promote rhythmic breathing, but also elicit substantial motor behaviors, suggesting a dual role for these neurons in the medulla.

Combining computational and experimental approaches reveals that the loss of a maternal transcription factor influences sex-biased differential splicing in the early zygotic transcriptome at genes that are critical for normal developmental processes.
Inhibiting RNA N6-methyladenosine demethylase ALKBH5 promoted axonal regeneration of dorsal root ganglion neurons by regulating stability of Lpin2 mRNA and enhanced the survival and axonal regeneration of retinal ganglion cells.
