    Single-cell lineage tracing by endogenous mutations enriched in transposase accessible mitochondrial DNA

    Jin Xu, Kevin Nuno ... Howard Y Chang
    Epigenome and Mitochondrial Barcode of Lineage from Endogenous Mutations (EMBLEM) enable tracking cell lineage in combination with chromatin profile in ATAC-seq data.

    A multicellular way of life for a multipartite virus

    Anne Sicard, Elodie Pirolles ... Stéphane Blanc
    A multipartite virus functionally spreads its distinct genome segments in distinct individual cells of the host plant, and complementation of the viral genes across cells allows a pluricellular infection cycle.

    Optogenetically induced low-frequency correlations impair perception

    Anirvan Nandy, Jonathan J Nassi ... John Reynolds
    Low-frequency correlations among neurons in monkey visual area V4 impair the animal's ability to perform an attention-demanding task, suggesting a causal role of these fluctuations in perception.

    Emotional faces guide the eyes in the absence of awareness

    Petra Vetter, Stephanie Badde ... Marisa Carrasco
    When emotional faces are rendered invisible, our eyes look towards fearful faces and away from angry faces.

    The presence and absence of periplasmic rings in bacterial flagellar motors correlates with stator type

    Mohammed Kaplan, Debnath Ghosal ... Grant J Jensen
    A correlation between the periplasmic embellishment of the flagellar motor and its stator system type is described, motors with dual H+-dependent stator systems have one periplasmic ring formed by MotY.

    High resolution cryo-EM structure of the helical RNA-bound Hantaan virus nucleocapsid reveals its assembly mechanisms

    Benoît Arragain, Juan Reguera ... Hélène Malet
    Hantaan virus nucleocapsid cryo-EM structure determined at 3.3 Å resolution reveals how nucleoproteins assemble into a metastable helix containing a continuous RNA-binding groove compatible with genome encapsidation and compaction.

    Reprogramming the antigen specificity of B cells using genome-editing technologies

    James E Voss, Alicia Gonzalez-Martin ... Dennis R Burton
    Antibody paratopes can be added to the human repertoire by CRISPR-Cas9 editing of B lymphocytes using a strategy that allows for hypermutation and class switching of resulting B cell receptors.

    Quantitative analysis of auxin sensing in leaf primordia argues against proposed role in regulating leaf dorsoventrality

    Neha Bhatia, Henrik Åhl ... Marcus G Heisler
    Top-bottom patterning of leaves is not specified by an asymmetry in the distribution of the plant hormone auxin, in contrast to a previous proposal.

    Nostril-specific and structure-based olfactory learning of chiral discrimination in human adults

    Guo Feng, Wen Zhou
    Training-induced perceptual gain in the discrimination between odor enantiomers is nostril-specific and structure-based, indicating that early olfactory processing of the chemical features of unirhinal input remains plastic in human adults.
