    Discovery of runs-of-homozygosity diplotype clusters and their associations with diseases in UK Biobank

    Ardalan Naseri, Degui Zhi, Shaojie Zhang
    ROH-DICE is an efficient method for detecting ROH clusters in biobank data, enabling the study of population history of large cohorts, and providing a new genome-wide association analysis approach for finding disease-causing loci with multi-marker recessive effects.

    Emotional vocalizations alter behaviors and neurochemical release into the amygdala

    Zahra Ghasemahmad, Aaron Mrvelj ... Jeffrey J Wenstrup
    The modulatory neurochemicals acetylcholine and dopamine are released differentially into the basolateral amygdala depending on the emotional content of vocalizations and the sex, hormonal state, and experience of listening animals.

    Enrichment of rare codons at 5' ends of genes is a spandrel caused by evolutionary sequence turnover and does not improve translation

    Richard Sejour, Janet Leatherwood ... Bruce Futcher
    The 5' ends of genes are slightly enriched for rare codons largely because the ends turnover in evolution and gather rare codons, and these rare codons do not improve translation.

    Emerging role of oncogenic ß-catenin in exosome biogenesis as a driver of immune escape in hepatocellular carcinoma

    Camille Dantzer, Justine Vaché ... Violaine Moreau
    Findings identify a new link between oncogenic ß-catenin and exosome biogenesis, which may serve as an important nodal point in the immune escape of hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Evolutionary adaptation of an HP1-protein chromodomain integrates chromatin and DNA sequence signals

    Lisa Baumgartner, Jonathan J Ipsaro ... Julius Brennecke
    Genetic and biochemical characterization reveals how a single amino acid change in the chromodomain of the HP1 protein Rhino enables its specific interaction with the guidance factor Kipferl.
