    RNA structures that resist degradation by Xrn1 produce a pathogenic Dengue virus RNA

    Erich G Chapman, Stephanie L Moon ... Jeffrey S Kieft
    The Dengue virus contains discretely folded RNA structures that confer the ability to resist a powerful host cell enzyme and produce a disease-inducing noncoding RNA.

    Rev7 and 53BP1/Crb2 prevent RecQ helicase-dependent hyper-resection of DNA double-strand breaks

    Bryan A Leland, Angela C Chen ... Megan C King
    A single-cell assay reveals that the genetic rewiring that underlies PARP inhibitor resistance drives altered DNA double-strand break end resection pathway choice.

    In-host population dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex during active disease

    Roger Vargas, Luca Freschi ... Maha Reda Farhat
    Bulk whole genome sequencing data can be used to study the genetic variation present in pathogenic bacterial populations over the time-course of a single infection within a host.

    Linking plasmid-based beta-lactamases to their bacterial hosts using single-cell fusion PCR

    Peter J Diebold, Felicia N New ... Ilana L Brito
    One-step Isolation and Lysis (OIL) PCR offers a robust, versatile, accessible, and high-throughput method for linking mobile DNA with bacterial hosts in natural microbial communities.

    Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 polymerase by nucleotide analogs from a single-molecule perspective

    Mona Seifert, Subhas C Bera ... David Dulin
    High-throughput and ultra-stable magnetic tweezers reveal that Remdesivir induces a long-lived backtrack pause upon incorporation by the coronavirus polymerase, and SARS-CoV-2 is able to evade interferon-induced antiviral ddhCTP.

    Explosive mutation accumulation triggered by heterozygous human Pol ε proofreading-deficiency is driven by suppression of mismatch repair

    Karl P Hodel, Richard de Borja ... Zachary F Pursell
    When mismatch repair is compromised heterozygous loss of Pol ε proofreading is sufficient to drive a subset of the observed clinical characteristics of Pol ε tumors.

    Werner syndrome helicase is a selective vulnerability of microsatellite instability-high tumor cells

    Simone Lieb, Silvia Blaha-Ostermann ... Simon Wöhrle
    Targeting Werner syndrome helicase might constitute a novel opportunity for the treatment of a clinically defined subset of patients harboring MSI-H/MMR-deficient tumors.

    Circular RNA repertoires are associated with evolutionarily young transposable elements

    Franziska Gruhl, Peggy Janich ... David Gatfield
    Evolutionary analyses suggest that most mammalian circRNAs did not emerge from common ancestral circRNA precursors, arguing against widespread functional conservation.

    Escape from neutralizing antibodies by SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variants

    Yiska Weisblum, Fabian Schmidt ... Paul D Bieniasz
    SARS-CoV-2 spike variants that resist neutralization by therapeutic antibodies or convalescent plasma can be generated in the laboratory and exist at low frequency in natural populations.
