    Analysis of NIH K99/R00 awards and the career progression of awardees

    Nicole C Woitowich, Sarah R Hengel ... Daniel J Tyrrell
    There is a significant disadvantage to receive a major grant (i.e., R01) for K99/R00 awardees that are women, those at lower funded institutions, and those with lower career mobility.

    Exploring factors shaping antibiotic resistance patterns in Streptococcus pneumoniae during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic

    Aleksandra Kovacevic, David RM Smith ... Lulla Opatowski
    The mathematical modeling approach disentangles the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae in the community setting and identifies the three most plausible driving mechanisms responsible for the observed trends in invasive isolates and pneumococcal carriage.

    Interchromosomal segmental duplication drives translocation and loss of P. falciparum histidine-rich protein 3

    Nicholas J Hathaway, Isaac E Kim ... Jeffrey A Bailey
    Sequence analyses show a pfhrp3 deletion mechanism involves duplication of chromosome 11 segment, which is normally removed via negative selection, and specific conditions are needed for spread including low transmission.

    The genomic footprint of social stratification in admixing American populations

    Alex Mas-Sandoval, Sara Mathieson, Matteo Fumagalli
    Social hierarchies resulting from the European colonization of the Americas stratified the population structure, leading to ancestry-related assortative mating and sex bias patterns that can be inferred from the genomes of the populations across the continent.

    Interactions between strains govern the eco-evolutionary dynamics of microbial communities

    Akshit Goyal, Leonora S Bittleston ... Otto X Cordero
    Rapidly diversifying biotic interactions decouple the dynamics of nearly identical strains.

    Herbivory-induced volatiles function as defenses increasing fitness of the native plant Nicotiana attenuata in nature

    Meredith C Schuman, Kathleen Barthel, Ian T Baldwin
    A 2-year field study has demonstrated that volatile compounds produced by plants when they are attacked by herbivores act as defenses by attracting predators to the herbivores and increasing the reproduction of the plants.

    A randomised double blind placebo controlled phase 2 trial of adjunctive aspirin for tuberculous meningitis in HIV-uninfected adults

    Nguyen TH Mai, Nicholas Dobbs ... Guy E Thwaites
    Adjunctive aspirin may reduce new brain infarcts and deaths in the first 60 days of treatment for HIV-uninfected adults with tuberculous meningitis.

    Differential regulation of the Drosophila sleep homeostat by circadian and arousal inputs

    Jinfei D Ni, Adishthi S Gurav ... Craig Montell
    Functional imaging and circuit mapping in the Drosophila brain identifies neuropils where sleep-promoting and arousal-promoting neuronal networks converge.

    A microbial clock provides an accurate estimate of the postmortem interval in a mouse model system

    Jessica L Metcalf, Laura Wegener Parfrey ... Rob Knight
    High-throughput sequencing has been used to analyze the microbiome of mouse corpses over a period of 48 days, and to provide an accurate estimate of the time since death.
