The first genomic view of beetle luciferase evolution indicates evolutionary independence of luciferase between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide valuable datasets which will accelerate the discovery of new biotechnological tools.

Parasites with pathogenic variant surface antigens are common in adult malaria patients with a naive immune status.

Flying squirrels may have originated earlier than previously thought and remained unchanged for almost 12 million years.

The ultimate driver for the substantial between-species difference in the success of transposable elements, the widely distributed genetic parasite, may lie in the overall chromatin environment.

Multidimensional analysis of data from high-throughput behavioral assays reveals many independent axes of behavioral variation among inbred animals reared in the same environment.

Crucial functions of Toll signalling during dorsoventral axis formation might have evolved convergently in flies and crickets.

An automated feeding system to precisely control feeding in the killifish opens new areas to explore vertebrate lifespan, cognitive decline, dietary interventions, and drug screening in a high-throughput manner.

A genetic screen in a unicellular photosynthetic organism uncovers the first essential signaling component in the chloroplast unfolded protein response that relays information from the chloroplast to the nuclear compartment.
