    Transformer-based deep learning for predicting protein properties in the life sciences

    Abel Chandra, Laura Tünnermann ... Regina Gratz
    The recent developments in large-scale machine learning, especially with the recent Transformer models, display much potential for solving computational problems within protein biology and outcompete traditional computational methods in many recent studies and benchmarks.

    A method for low-coverage single-gamete sequence analysis demonstrates adherence to Mendel’s first law across a large sample of human sperm

    Sara A Carioscia, Kathryn J Weaver ... Rajiv C McCoy
    A computational method and genome-wide scan of low-coverage single-cell sequencing data from a large sample of human sperm suggests balanced transmission of alleles to the gamete pool.

    2. Computational and Systems Biology

    Promoter sequence and architecture determine expression variability and confer robustness to genetic variants

    Hjörleifur Einarsson, Marco Salvatore ... Robin Andersson
    A flexible transcription initiation architecture and a uniform regulatory grammar buffer expression variability and the effects of genetic variants on essential genes while a rigid transcription initiation architecture and a diverse regulatory grammar ensure condition-specific responsiveness of other genes.
    1. Neuroscience

    Spinal premotor interneurons controlling antagonistic muscles are spatially intermingled

    Remi Ronzano, Sophie Skarlatou ... Marco Beato
    Multiple trans-synaptic tracing methods reveal that there is no spatial segregation between flexor and extensor premotor interneurons in the lumbar spinal cord.

    Ephrin-B1 regulates the adult diastolic function through a late postnatal maturation of cardiomyocyte surface crests

    Clement Karsenty, Celine Guilbeau-Frugier ... Celine Galés
    Eprhin B1 in the cardiomyocyte regulates the maturation of the adult surface crest architecture and of the diastolic function during a late postnatal stage in rodents.

    Inter-organ Wingless/Ror/Akt signaling regulates nutrient-dependent hyperarborization of somatosensory neurons

    Yasutetsu Kanaoka, Koun Onodera ... Yukako Hattori
    A muscle-derived Wnt signal promotes dendritic branching of somatosensory neurons in response to a concurrent deficiency in vitamins, minerals, and cholesterol.

    Sex and prior exposure jointly shape innate immune responses to a live herpesvirus vaccine

    Foo Cheung, Richard Apps ... Jeffrey I Cohen
    In a study of a herpes simplex virus (HSV) vaccine, the combination of sex and prior exposure to the virus resulted in HSV naive women mounting a prominent type I interferon response associated with reduced neutralizing titers to HSV.
    1. Physics of Living Systems

    Active morphogenesis of patterned epithelial shells

    Diana Khoromskaia, Guillaume Salbreux
    An epithelium modelled as an active, nematic surface can display flattening, budding, and tubulation morphogenetic events, which are observed during development in biological organisms.
    1. Neuroscience

    Neural representations of naturalistic events are updated as our understanding of the past changes

    Asieh Zadbood, Samuel Nastase ... Uri Hasson
    Changes in the interpretation of specific scenes in a narrative trigger corresponding updates in the neural patterns evoked by those scenes in the default mode network.
    1. Genetics and Genomics

    The missing link between genetic association and regulatory function

    Noah J Connally, Sumaiya Nazeen ... Shamil R Sunyaev
    A common conceptual model exists in which trait-associated genetic variants that do not alter protein structure act by changing gene expression, but, in the context in which expression is often measured, this model is inconsistent with observed data.
