    Antigenic drift and subtype interference shape A(H3N2) epidemic dynamics in the United States

    Amanda C Perofsky, John Huddleston ... Cécile Viboud
    Antigenic drift in influenza’s major surface proteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, contributes to variability in epidemic magnitude across seasons but is less influential than subtype interference in shaping annual outbreaks.

    The effects of a deleterious mutation load on patterns of influenza A/H3N2's antigenic evolution in humans

    Katia Koelle, David A Rasmussen
    Deleterious mutations slow down flu's antigenic evolution, make it more punctuated in nature, and reduce the virus's genetic diversity.

    High potency of sequential therapy with only β-lactam antibiotics

    Aditi Batra, Roderich Roemhild ... Hinrich Schulenburg
    Sequential therapy with only β-lactam antibiotics achieves surprisingly high potency by exploiting both low rates of spontaneous resistance emergence and low rates of spontaneous cross-resistance among the drugs in sequence.

    Innovation of heterochromatin functions drives rapid evolution of essential ZAD-ZNF genes in Drosophila

    Bhavatharini Kasinathan, Serafin U Colmenares III ... Harmit S Malik
    Heterochromatic sequences evolve rapidly, as do ZAD-ZNF genes-encoding proteins involved in heterochromatin functions, explaining why evolutionarily dynamic ZAD-ZNF genes are more likely to be essential in Drosophila.

    Evolutionary shaping of human brain dynamics

    James C Pang, James K Rilling ... Luca Cocchi
    Human brains evolved to have neural dynamics that facilitate brain-wide integration supporting complex behavior.

    Recent evolutionary origin and localized diversity hotspots of mammalian coronaviruses

    Renan Maestri, Benoît Perez-Lamarque ... Hélène Morlon
    The common ancestor of extant mammalian coronaviruses originated recently in a bat species and their diversification occurred via preferential host switches rather than through codiversification with mammals.

    FRET-based dynamic structural biology: Challenges, perspectives and an appeal for open-science practices

    Eitan Lerner, Anders Barth ... Shimon Weiss
    A summary of the current “state-of-the-field” of single-molecule FRET used for probing biomolecular structural dynamics.

    Modularity, criticality, and evolvability of a developmental gene regulatory network

    Berta Verd, Nicholas AM Monk, Johannes Jaeger
    A new approach focusing on dynamic modularity helps overcome traditional challenges detecting modularity in complex adaptive systems.

    Integrated culturing, modeling and transcriptomics uncovers complex interactions and emergent behavior in a three-species synthetic gut community

    Kevin D'hoe, Stefan Vet ... Jeroen Raes
    Human gut bacteria alter their metabolism in response to each other's presence, which causes their community dynamics to deviate from predictions that are based on mono-culture data.

    Population genomics of intrapatient HIV-1 evolution

    Fabio Zanini, Johanna Brodin ... Richard A Neher
    Whole genome deep sequencing of many longitudinally sampled HIV-1 populations reveals that reversions towards ancestral HIV-1 genome sequences occur throughout the course of infection.
