Localized temperature gradients used as a novel method of active micro-theology that is non-invasive and probe-free, to investigate material responses of cell departments such as the different compartments of a nucleus displaying distinct material properties.

Proteomic and genetic analysis discovers a new cytoskeletal mechanism of presynaptic short-term plasticity common across neuronal cell types.

An unbiased model for the self-organisation of the Golgi apparatus displays either anterograde vesicular transport or cisternal maturation depending on ratios of budding, fusion and biochemical conversion rates.

Genetic variants acting between biologically related metabolite pairs often reflect biology local to the traits and have effect directions contrasting those of upstream or downstream variants, which can result in striking, biologically interpretable heterogeneity in genetic correlation across the genome.

A new automated system for recording and analyzing neural activity in behaving animals over months-long time-scales offers new perspectives on how neural circuits underlie processes such as learning, development, and recovery from brain injury.

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD3 (NP_115609.2) was identified as the actin-specific histidine N-methyltransferase, an enzyme catalyzing the extremely well-conserved methylation of H73 in β-actin.

The first malacostracan genome sequence will establish the genetically tractable Parhyale hawaiensis as a model organism in this key animal group.

Somatic gonad architecture is regulated by innexin function, but sheath cell position does not determine germ cell exit from the stem cell pool.

Computational efforts yield a zebrafish transcriptome annotation that provides more sensitive and comprehensive gene detection over existing annotations when used for bulk or single-cell RNA-seq.

Systematic analysis of C. elegans zygotes manipulated to divide equally demonstrates that daughter cell size asymmetry is critical for proper cell cycle timing, positioning, and fates during subsequent embryogenesis.
