    Self-association enhances early attentional selection through automatic prioritization of socially salient signals

    Meike Scheller, Jan Tünnermann ... Jie Sui
    Self-related information automatically modulates early attentional selection into awareness through mechanisms distinct from physical salience, revealing an obligatory, individualized self-prioritization at the gateway to perception.

    Human-specific lncRNAs contributed critically to human evolution by distinctly regulating gene expression

    Jie Lin, Yujian Wen ... Hao Zhu
    Compared with human-specific transcriptional factors, human-specific lncRNAs identified upon human lncRNAs’ orthologs in mammals have greatly evolved DNA-binding sites in archaic and modern humans in genes determining human traits.

    Automated genome mining predicts structural diversity and taxonomic distribution of peptide metallophores across bacteria

    Zachary L Reitz, Bita Pourmohsenin ... Marnix H Medema
    Automated detection of metallophore biosynthesis reveals that metal-chelating non-ribosomal peptides are widespread, chemically diverse, and deeply rooted in bacterial evolution.

    Deep learning linking mechanistic models to single-cell transcriptomics data reveals transcriptional bursting in response to DNA damage

    Zhiwei Huang, Songhao Luo ... Jiajun Zhang
    DNA damage reshapes genome-wide transcriptional bursting, with distinct burst size and frequency programs associated with differentiation, apoptosis, and survival decisions.
