    Relating multivariate shapes to genescapes using phenotype-biological process associations for craniofacial shape

    Jose D Aponte, David C Katz ... Benedikt Hallgrímsson
    Multivariate genotype-phenotype mapping enables quantification of pathway and process-level effects on complex phenotypes and predicts phenotypic effects of novel mutations.

    Functional diversification gave rise to allelic specialization in a rice NLR immune receptor pair

    Juan Carlos De la Concepcion, Javier Vega Benjumea ... Mark J Banfield
    Biochemical and in planta studies reveal how a rice immune receptor pair has coevolved to deliver immune responses, an important step towards understanding and engineering bespoke resistance to crop pathogens that threaten food security.

    Molecular features underlying differential SHP1/SHP2 binding of immune checkpoint receptors

    Xiaozheng Xu, Takeya Masubuchi ... Enfu Hui
    A molecular interpretation is provided for why some inhibitory immunoreceptors prefer to recruit SHP1 but others prefer SHP2.

    Causal roles of prefrontal cortex during spontaneous perceptual switching are determined by brain state dynamics

    Takamitsu Watanabe
    Prefrontal causal roles in bistable perception are dynamically changing and determined by the brain state to which the whole-brain activity pattern belongs.

    A novel live-cell imaging assay reveals regulation of endosome maturation

    Maria Podinovskaia, Cristina Prescianotto-Baschong ... Anne Spang
    A novel, inexpensive, easy-to-use method to analyse traffic along the endosomal pathway in mammalian cells shows that there is coordination between Rab conversion and acidification, but almost none between Rab conversion and recycling.

    TCR meta-clonotypes for biomarker discovery with tcrdist3 enabled identification of public, HLA-restricted clusters of SARS-CoV-2 TCRs

    Koshlan Mayer-Blackwell, Stefan Schattgen ... Andrew Fiore-Gartland
    Distance-based TCR analysis enables grouping of biochemically similar clonotypes into meta-clonotypes that have increased publicity, and therefore statistical power, for population-level detection of antigen-specific T cells in infection and vaccination.

    Daily electrical activity in the master circadian clock of a diurnal mammal

    Beatriz Bano-Otalora, Matthew J Moye ... Mino DC Belle
    Circadian control of neuronal excitability in the master circadian clock of a diurnal mammal as revealed by whole-cell recording and mathematical modeling.

    Glutamine deprivation triggers NAGK-dependent hexosamine salvage

    Sydney Campbell, Clementina Mesaros ... Kathryn E Wellen
    Hexosamine salvage through the enzyme N-acetylglucosamine kinase is stimulated in nutrient-limited conditions and supports pancreatic tumor growth.

    The Mouse Action Recognition System (MARS) software pipeline for automated analysis of social behaviors in mice

    Cristina Segalin, Jalani Williams ... Ann Kennedy
    The Mouse Action Recognition System is a computational pipeline for automated classification of social behaviors in freely interacting mice, accompanied by a graphical interface for analysis of multimodal neuroscience datasets.

    Columnar processing of border ownership in primate visual cortex

    Tom P Franken, John H Reynolds
    The assignment of borders to foreground objects occurs in cortical columns in primate visual cortex, and first in deep layers, suggesting a central role for feedback.
