    Testis single-cell RNA-seq reveals the dynamics of de novo gene transcription and germline mutational bias in Drosophila

    Evan Witt, Sigi Benjamin ... Li Zhao
    Single-cell RNA-sequencing and germline substitutions provide novel insights into how testis is a hotspot for evolutionary innovation of genes, expression, and mutation at the single-cell level.

    A putative origin of the insect chemosensory receptor superfamily in the last common eukaryotic ancestor

    Richard Benton, Christophe Dessimoz, David Moi
    Comparative genomics and three-dimensional protein modelling identify homologs of insect chemosensory receptors in unicellular eukaryotes and plants.

    A paternal bias in germline mutation is widespread in amniotes and can arise independently of cell division numbers

    Marc de Manuel, Felix L Wu, Molly Przeworski
    A paternal bias in germline mutation is seen throughout amniotes and may be explained by sex differences in DNA damage and repair after primordial germ cell specification.

    Application of human liver organoids as a patient-derived primary model for HBV infection and related hepatocellular carcinoma

    Elisa De Crignis, Tanvir Hossain ... Tokameh Mahmoudi
    Human liver organoids provide a patient-derived platform to interrogate host and viral mechanisms of HBV replication, perform anti-HBV and toxicity drug screens, and investigate the molecular determinants of related tumorigenesis.

    Long non-coding RNAs as a source of new peptides

    Jorge Ruiz-Orera, Xavier Messeguer ... M Mar Alba
    Ribosome profiling data from several eukaryotic species provides strong evidence that many long non-coding RNA molecules encode novel short proteins.

    A novel DNA primase-helicase pair encoded by SCCmec elements

    Aleksandra Bebel, Melissa A Walsh ... Phoebe A Rice
    SCCmec genomic islands encode a novel primase-helicase pair in which priming ability is conferred upon an A-family DNA polymerase domain by a novel protein cofactor.

    TRIM37 prevents formation of centriolar protein assemblies by regulating Centrobin

    Fernando R Balestra, Andrés Domínguez-Calvo ... Pierre Gönczy
    TRIM37 prevents the formation of centriolar protein assemblies through an atypical de novo assembly pathway that would otherwise threaten genome integrity.
