    BET family members Bdf1/2 modulate global transcription initiation and elongation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Rafal Donczew, Steven Hahn
    Yeast bromodomain-containing factors Bdf1/2 offer insights into the biological role of the BET family of transcriptional regulators, which is a promising target in cancer therapy.

    Genomic basis for drought resistance in European beech forests threatened by climate change

    Markus Pfenninger, Friederike Reuss ... Barbara Feldmeyer
    European beech harbours substantial genetic variation at genomic loci associated with drought resistance and newly identified loci can help to accelerate and monitor adaptation to climate change.

    Loss of MGA repression mediated by an atypical polycomb complex promotes tumor progression and invasiveness

    Haritha Mathsyaraja, Jonathen Catchpole ... Robert N Eisenman
    The MYC transcription factor network member MGA is a subunit of a non-canonical Polycomb complex, which, when inactivated, accelerates tumorigenesis in mouse models of cancer and proliferation in colon organoids.

    Organelle calcium-derived voltage oscillations in pacemaker neurons drive the motor program for food-seeking behavior in Aplysia

    Alexis Bédécarrats, Laura Puygrenier ... Romuald Nargeot
    An atypical neuronal pacemaker mechanism triggers feeding motor pattern in Aplysia..

    Evaluating distributional regression strategies for modelling self-reported sexual age-mixing

    Timothy M Wolock, Seth Flaxman ... Jeffrey W Eaton
    Integrating the sinh-arcsinh distribution into a distributional regression framework allows us to produce precise, local estimates of sexual age-mixing, facilitating more accurate modelling of sexually transmitted disease dynamics.

    Impact of COVID-19-related disruptions to measles, meningococcal A, and yellow fever vaccination in 10 countries

    Katy AM Gaythorpe, Kaja Abbas ... Mark Jit
    Routine and campaign vaccination disruption in 2020 may lead to measles outbreaks and yellow fever burden increases in some countries, but is unlikely to greatly increase meningococcal A burden.

    A chimeric nuclease substitutes a phage CRISPR-Cas system to provide sequence-specific immunity against subviral parasites

    Zachary K Barth, Maria HT Nguyen, Kimberley D Seed
    Horizontal transfer of a sequence-specific DNA-binding domain allows a virus to destroy its subviral parasite and overcome parasite-mediated restriction.

    Genetic and pharmacological evidence for kinetic competition between alternative poly(A) sites in yeast

    Rachael Emily Turner, Paul F Harrison ... Traude H Beilharz
    The natural compounds cordycepin and mycophenolic acid stimulate alternative polyadenylation through opposing effects on transcriptional rate.

    Type VI secretion system killing by commensal Neisseria is influenced by expression of type four pili

    Rafael Custodio, Rhian M Ford ... Rachel M Exley
    The upper airway commensal, Neisseria cinerea, competes with related species using a T6SS, with antagonism modulated by the spatial dynamics of attacker and prey strains growing in a mixed community.

    Inflammation drives alternative first exon usage to regulate immune genes including a novel iron-regulated isoform of Aim2

    Elektra K Robinson, Pratibha Jagannatha ... Susan Carpenter
    Alternative first exon usage was the major event observed in macrophages during inflammation, which resulted in the elucidation of a novel isoform and regulatory mechanism of the protein-coding gene, Aim2.
