A synaptic resolution somatotopic map of nearly all mechanosensory neurons on the Drosophila head that individually elicit aimed grooming of specific head locations and collectively elicit a head grooming sequence.

Evidence for a selective sensorimotor brain mechanism responsible for translating sensory numerical information into the number of actions in a sequence.
Genetic analysis of Hippo pathway kinases in a close unicellular relative of animals suggests an ancestral role of this ancient pathway in regulating cytoskeletal dynamics and density of multicellular aggregates.

The gain of transposable elements in yeast hybrids does not scale with genetic divergence levels and is most impacted by structural variations and multiple aspects of individual hybrid genetic backgrounds.

A massively parallel reporter assay, mSTARR-seq, reveals widespread DNA methylation-environment interactions across the genome, prioritizing CpG sites identified in epigenome-wide association studies that may be most relevant to biological embedding.
Region of Attainable Redaction analysis allows scientists to estimate the potential impacts of redaction in biomedical science, helping to uncover potentially spurious or non-robust results.
