A multi-level assessment of the relevance of 18 highly conserved neural zebrafish microexons showed that individual deletions of most microexons did not exhibit strong phenotypes, likely because of compensatory changes.
Genomic evidence from 15th-century Bolivian maize reveals similarity to Central Andean maize from Peru, and pre-Inca and Inca-era breeding that enhanced maize development through selection within Andean agricultural networks.
Chromosome-driven DnaA activity oscillations, modulated by DNA-binding proteins, enable bacteria to coordinate DNA replication with biomass growth independently of transcriptional regulation.
The identification of 20 causal plasma proteins for prostate cancer represents a critical step toward addressing the need for improved diagnostic specificity and reveals promising new targets for therapeutic intervention.

Unraveling mechanisms underlying post-acute SARS-CoV-2 sequelae (long COVID) and finding therapeutic solutions require a full understanding of the causative role of SARS-CoV-2 persistence and/or infection with other microorganisms, which may be pre-existing, concurrent, or subsequent to acute COVID-19.
