A disease-associated polymorphism in a related protein that regulates neurotransmitter release reveals that antiviral protein IFITM3 forms oligomers to rigidify membranes and inhibit virus fusion with cells.

Imprinted gene expression is set up during a critical window of early embryonic development, by the translation of parental imprints by oocyte-supplied Smchd1 into allele-specific gene silencing.

A bacterial tRNA gene set rapidly evolves, compensating the loss of one tRNA type by large duplication events that increase the gene copy number of a second, different tRNA type.

In fission yeast cell wall stress triggers a cytokinesis blockage specifically in the onset of actomyosin ring constriction.

Human brain has incorporated natural statistics of spatial cues to the neural code supporting perception of sound location.

Inhibiting IRE1α decreases tumor cell proliferation and migration in hepatocellular carcinoma, therefore components of this ER-stress pathway may be therapeutically relevant for liver cancer.

Dot1l and its H3K79 methyltransferase activity are required for thermogenesis, and Dot1l is recruited by Zc3h10 to its targets genes to alter chromatin accessibility to activate the thermogenic gene program.

Lumen formation by single epithelial cells depends on FGF-signalling-dependent expression of a spectraplakin, which can be functionally replaced by Tau.

The first epigenetic clock for rats was developed and revealed to reflect phenotypic aging and captured the effects of longevity interventions.

A neuron-specific circular RNA keeps neuronal differentiation in check by lowering transcription rates from key neuronal marker genes.
