Artificial evolution discovers biophysically plausible plasticity rules for spiking networks that perform competitively with and even outperform labor-intensive human-designed models in various learning scenarios, while providing new views on experimental data.

Mobile phones can accurately capture sound recordings from mosquito wingbeats with species-specific frequencies, together with metadata about the recording time, location and conditions, to enable rapid low-cost mosquito surveillance using a citizen-science approach.

Generation of a home-and-rescue gene drive targeting an essential gene reveals confinable population modification.

The resurrection of ancient ancestral intrinsically disordered proteins reveals the evolution of a protein-protein interaction in molecular detail.

The minimal twister sister (TS)-like self-cleaving ribozymes, revealed by deep mutational scanning, represent some of the very few human/primate ribozymes.

Although cellular organelles show a functional deterioration in aging, genetic loci associated with common age-associated disease instead nominate nuclear transcription factors across several age-related diseases.

An integrated landscape framework shows how the coordinated changes in vocal apparatus, muscles, nervous system, and social interaction together influence the trajectory of vocal development.

Artificial selection on communities drives the evolution of interactions and establishes community-level inheritance.
