Large-scale screens and computational approaches reveal phenotypes for 3492 genes and gene-ontology predictions for 783 genes, including hitherto unstudied genes, which provides a potent platform to further dissect protein function.

A framework has been devised that enables global participation in the curation of publications on any topic involving two or more living organisms, ranging from microscopic to larger sizes, in their natural or artificial environments or ecosystems.
Analyses of spindle genes with missense changes in modern humans reveal evidence for positive selection since the split with archaic humans and show that modern humans interacted with Neandertals more than once in the past 200,000 years.
Understanding novel cell types and their evolutionary history is re-evaluated using single nuclei transcriptomic approaches and their inferred underlying gene regulatory networks.

Extensive cytological and biochemical analyses show that the conserved Sf3A2 and Prp31 splicing factors bind microtubules and the Ndc80 complex, playing direct mitotic functions in both Drosophila and human mitosis.
Bidirectional regulation of the chromatin modification H3K27me3 orchestrates programs of gene expression that underlie postmitotic stages of neuronal maturation.
