    Phenotypic and molecular evolution across 10,000 generations in laboratory budding yeast populations

    Milo S Johnson, Shreyas Gopalakrishnan ... Michael M Desai
    Experimentally evolved yeast populations increase in fitness predictably but do not divide into coexisting lineages or dramatically increase their mutation rates after 10,000 generations.

    Freshwater monitoring by nanopore sequencing

    Lara Urban, Andre Holzer ... Maximilian R Stammnitz
    From now on, nanopore metagenomics can be used to monitor aquatic environments with high spatiotemporal resolution, by use of a benchmarked, standardised and cost-effective workflow.

    Climate-driven deoxygenation elevates fishing vulnerability for the ocean's widest ranging shark

    Marisa Vedor, Nuno Queiroz ... David W Sims
    Habitats of satellite-tracked blue sharks were shifted surfaceward by an oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) at depth thereby increasing their susceptibility to capture by longline fishing focused above the OMZ.

    Atomic structures of respiratory complex III2, complex IV, and supercomplex III2-IV from vascular plants

    Maria Maldonado, Fei Guo, James A Letts
    The structures of plant CIII2, CIV, and SC III2+IV challenge long-standing assumptions, generate new mechanistic hypotheses and allow for the generation of more selective agricultural inhibitors.

    The ESCRT machinery regulates retromer-dependent transcytosis of septate junction components in Drosophila

    Hendrik Pannen, Tim Rapp, Thomas Klein
    A novel role of endosomal machineries retromer and ESCRT in membrane delivery of Drosophila septate junction components is required for maintenance of junction integrity and epithelial barrier function.

    Microsecond interaural time difference discrimination restored by cochlear implants after neonatal deafness

    Nicole Rosskothen-Kuhl, Alexa N Buck ... Jan WH Schnupp
    Early deaf human CI users are often insensitive to sub-millisecond interaural time differences (ITDs); however, with synchronized CIs, early deafened rats learned to lateralize small ITDs near 50 µs.

    The Hippo pathway controls myofibril assembly and muscle fiber growth by regulating sarcomeric gene expression

    Aynur Kaya-Çopur, Fabio Marchiano ... Frank Schnorrer
    Muscle fiber growth during development is controlled by the Hippo pathway that links the assembly state of the contractile sarcomeres with the transcriptional state of the sarcomeric genes.

    Biological constraints on GWAS SNPs at suggestive significance thresholds reveal additional BMI loci

    Reza K Hammond, Matthew C Pahl ... Struan FA Grant
    By integrating GWAS data sets with ATAC-seq and promoter-focused Capture C data, one can uncover further loci beyond those that reach genome-wide significance (p<5x10-8).

    Proofreading through spatial gradients

    Vahe Galstyan, Kabir Husain ... Rob Phillips
    Theoretical study shows how enzymes can achieve substrate proofreading by taking advantage of existing molecular gradients in the cell while not being endowed with structural features typically required for proofreading.
    1. Cancer Biology

    Re-expression of SMARCA4/BRG1 in small cell carcinoma of ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) promotes an epithelial-like gene signature through an AP-1-dependent mechanism

    Krystal Ann Orlando, Amber K Douglas ... Bernard E Weissman
    BRG1 loss drives initiation and progression in human cancers through changes in specific differentiation programs in an AP-1-dependent manner.
