For many bacterial species, recombination dominates genome evolution and phylogenetic patterns that have so far been assumed to reflect clonal relationships, in fact reflect variation in recombination rates across lineages.

The analysis of 20 coral genomic datasets provides unprecedented insights into what makes reef-building corals unique, including the evolution of novel gene families involved in biomineralization, signaling and stress responses that have led to their evolutionary success throughout the Phanerozoic Eon.

Gene flow analysis reveals that the genomes of most sub-Saharan populations are the result of recent historical admixture events.

Analysing Myosin II unipolar planar polarisation with high spatial and temporal resolution during Drosophila axis extension reveals how tissue boundaries drive polarized cell intercalation while limiting cell mixing.

Simple mathematical models can relate gene expression to climatic variables in field grown rice.

Patterned optogenetic stimulation and analysis of neural activity provide convergent evidence that cerebellar Purkinje cells drive eye movements with a rapid rate code, without an additional contribution of spike irregularity.

The present fluorescence polarization microscopy method enables the determination of the spatial orientations and lifetimes of a transporter protein in individual conformational states required for understanding the complex conformational mechanism underlying its function, applicable to investigation of other membrane proteins.

A spike sorting toolbox to quickly and reliably access the activity of thousands of neurons recorded with dense extracellular probes.

Predicting multivariate phenotypic evolution.

The analysis of the first 1000 revertible protein trap alleles in zebrafish resulted in new functional genomic annotations and produced a panel of potential new models of human disease.
