    Recurrent loss of CenH3 is associated with independent transitions to holocentricity in insects

    Ines A Drinnenberg, Dakota deYoung ... Harmit Singh Malik
    CenH3, the defining component of centromeres in almost all eukaryotes, was independently lost in four insect lineages that transitioned from monocentricity to holocentricity.

    The origin of the odorant receptor gene family in insects

    Philipp Brand, Hugh M Robertson ... Brian R Johnson
    The insect odorant receptor gene family evolved at the base of the class Insecta before the evolution of flight and perhaps as an adaptation to terrestriality, and was therefore an important evolutionary novelty for insects.

    Kazrin promotes dynein/dynactin-dependent traffic from early to recycling endosomes

    Ines Hernandez-Perez, Javier Rubio ... María Isabel Geli
    Kazrin, a protein widely expressed in vertebrates whose depletion causes defects in cell adhesion and migration, is recruited to early endosomes and promotes dynein/dynactin-dependent traffic of endocytosed cargo to the recycling endosomes.

    An image reconstruction framework for characterizing initial visual encoding

    Ling-Qi Zhang, Nicolas P Cottaris, David H Brainard
    A computational model of the initial visual encoding together with Bayesian image reconstruction quantifies how that encoding, combined with the statistical regularities of natural images, shapes key aspects of visual perception.
