    Critical roles for ‘housekeeping’ nucleases in type III CRISPR-Cas immunity

    Lucy Chou-Zheng, Asma Hatoum-Aslan
    Genetic and biochemical analyses reveal that the bacterial nucleases PNPase and RNase R work in concert with a type III-A CRISPR-Cas immune system to process small CRISPR RNAs and ensure robust immunity against foreign nucleic acid invaders.

    Structure of the mitoribosomal small subunit with streptomycin reveals Fe-S clusters and physiological molecules

    Yuzuru Itoh, Vivek Singh ... Alexey Amunts
    Structural analysis of the mitoribosomal small subunit with streptomycin reveals the molecular basis for antibiotic binding and new physiological components such as FeS clusters that assemble between mitochondria specific proteins.

    Presynaptic contact and activity opposingly regulate postsynaptic dendrite outgrowth

    Emily L Heckman, Chris Q Doe
    Opposing mechanisms determine dendrite arbor size during a critical period in Drosophila.

    Nucleotide-level linkage of transcriptional elongation and polyadenylation

    Joseph V Geisberg, Zarmik Moqtaderi ... Kevin Struhl
    Cleavage/polyadenylation, the process generating mRNA 3' ends, is linked at the nucleotide level to the position of RNA polymerase II, indicating a spatial coupling so polyadenylation occurs rapidly upon emergence of the nascent RNA from the Pol II elongation complex.

    Autoantibody discovery across monogenic, acquired, and COVID-19-associated autoimmunity with scalable PhIP-seq

    Sara E Vazquez, Sabrina A Mann ... Joseph L DeRisi
    A high-throughput extension of PhIP-seq reveals novel antigen specificities leading to new insights across multiple human autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, enables application of machine learning approaches to PhIP-seq datasets, and highlights the importance of controlled PhIP-seq cohorts.

    Whole-brain comparison of rodent and human brains using spatial transcriptomics

    Antoine Beauchamp, Yohan Yee ... Jason P Lerch
    A novel machine learning approach improves quantitative comparisons of mouse and human brains using spatial transcriptomics data sets.

    Sugar sensation and mechanosensation in the egg-laying preference shift of Drosophila suzukii

    Wanyue Wang, Hany KM Dweck ... John R Carlson
    Drosophila suzukii, which lays eggs on ripe fruits, differs from Drosophila melanogaster in sweet sensation, mechanosensation, and their integration.

    Transversal functional connectivity and scene-specific processing in the human entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry

    Xenia Grande, Magdalena M Sauvage ... David Berron
    The human entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry is characterized by an information-specific functional organization where two routes, that are preferentially connected to the parahippocampal cortex or the perirhinal and retrosplenial cortices, divide the entorhinal cortex as well as hippocampal subiculum and CA1 subregions.
