    Diverse fates of uracilated HIV-1 DNA during infection of myeloid lineage cells

    Erik C Hansen, Monica Ransom ... James T Stivers
    Uracil/adenine base pairs in HIV-1 DNA are attacked by the uracil base excision repair machinery in macrophages, which leads to HIV restriction and viral genome diversification by transcription-associated mutagenesis.

    Length regulation of multiple flagella that self-assemble from a shared pool of components

    Thomas G Fai, Lishibanya Mohapatra ... Ariel Amir
    In the microbe Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a disassembly rate which depends on flagellar length provides an effective method to regulate the length of its two flagella.

    Plant defense phenotypes determine the consequences of volatile emission for individuals and neighbors

    Meredith C Schuman, Silke Allmann, Ian T Baldwin
    Both the frequency of sesquiterpene-emitting individuals and the defense capacity of individual plants determine the consequences of sesquiterpene volatile emission for individuals and their neighbors in populations of the wild tobacco Nicotiana attenuata.

    The life cycle of Drosophila orphan genes

    Nicola Palmieri, Carolin Kosiol, Christian Schlötterer
    The short lifetime of orphan genes is a major factor explaining the stability of gene number in Drosophila.

    Identification of novel HPFH-like mutations by CRISPR base editing that elevate the expression of fetal hemoglobin

    Nithin Sam Ravi, Beeke Wienert ... Kumarasamypet M Mohankumar
    Adenine and cytosine base editing of highly homologous HBG proximal promoter identifies novel target sites that result in adult to fetal globin switching without causing 4.9 kb large deletions.

    Archaeal chromatin ‘slinkies’ are inherently dynamic complexes with deflected DNA wrapping pathways

    Samuel Bowerman, Jeff Wereszczynski, Karolin Luger
    Archaeal histones compact DNA into nucleosome-like particles of varying sizes that contort sporadically and reorient DNA wrapping.

    Building resilient cervical cancer prevention through gender-neutral HPV vaccination

    Irene Man, Damien Georges ... Iacopo Baussano
    Shifting from girls-only to gender-neutral HPV vaccination strategy improves the resilience of cervical cancer prevention and enhances progress towards cervical cancer elimination.

    Essential metabolism for a minimal cell

    Marian Breuer, Tyler M Earnest ... Zaida Luthey-Schulten
    A near-complete flux balance analysis model of a minimal cell demonstrates the high essentiality of its metabolic genes, agrees well with experimental essentiality data and suggests some further gene removals.

    The elemental mechanism of transcriptional pausing

    Jason Saba, Xien Yu Chua ... Robert Landick
    Biochemical analyses of transcription complexes, including kinetic studies and probes of translocational and conformational states, establish the elemental mechanism of pausing, which underlies regulation of gene expression in all organisms.

    Multi-step recognition of potential 5' splice sites by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae U1 snRNP

    Sarah R Hansen, David S White ... Aaron A Hoskins
    The yeast U1 snRNP recognizes multiple features of target RNAs to reversibly identify splicing-competent 5' splice sites.
