An analysis of the first complete synaptic resolution connectome of Drosophila's navigation circuit uncovers neural network motifs supporting broadly relevant sensorimotor computations.

The complex histories of social relationships between enslaved and non-enslaved communities and their descendants during and after the Trans-Atlantic Slave-Trade shaped the detailed genetic and linguistic histories of admixture of the islands of Cabo Verde.

The helical cell shape of Helicobacter pylori depends on the polymerizing cytoskeletal protein CcmA’s recruitment to the cell envelope by Csd5 and CcmA’s indirect stabilization of a periplasmic cell wall hydrolase via interactions with the transmembrane protein Csd7.

Feedback sensing of the intracellular calcium concentration suffices to reproduce the diversity of ionic conductances underlying normal cardiac electromechanical function in a genetically diverse population of mice.

A near-complete flux balance analysis model of a minimal cell demonstrates the high essentiality of its metabolic genes, agrees well with experimental essentiality data and suggests some further gene removals.

New experiments and theory reveal how the ability to see image details depends upon photoreceptor function and eye movements, and how fruit flies (Drosophila) see spatial details beyond the optical limit of their compound eyes.

Endothelial Differentiation Factor 1 (EDF1) plays a critical role in driving mRNA-specific quality control and global transcriptional responses in response to ribosome collisions.
