The competing mortality risk from cancer itself overshadows any increase in COVID-19 mortality risk due to cancer.

The identification of horizontally transferred genes, and commonly transferred functions, can provide a window into the selective forces acting on species within an ecosystem.

Analysis of the Escherichia coli DnaB helicase•bacteriophage λ helicase loader (λP) complex provides insights into helicase opening, delivery to the origin and ssDNA entry, and closing in preparation for translocation.

Gut microbial signatures of domestication parallel those of industrialization, implicating shared ecological drivers.

Disturbing the microbiota with antibiotics alters gut redox state via changes in electron acceptor availability, setting the stage for post-antibiotic succession.

Redox modification of STING represents a novel target for interferon regulation and control of herpesvirus replication.

Advances in robotics-assisted plant handling and automated image analysis enables the characterization of root growth dynamics for Arabidopsis accessions at late stages of development and the association of these traits with genetic variation and climatic variables.

Motor neurons adjust their sensitivity to direction of movement in a manner analogous to how neurons in the visual system adjust their sensitivity to light.

Crystal structures of Nanos bound to Pumilio and target RNAs demonstrate how Nanos forms a molecular clamp to alter Pumilio RNA regulation and specificity in embryonic development and germline maintenance.

The distribution of redundant neural activity is coupled with task-relevant activity, which may limit the extent to which redundancy can be exploited by the brain for computation.
