    Juxtaposition of heterozygous and homozygous regions causes reciprocal crossover remodelling via interference during Arabidopsis meiosis

    Piotr A Ziolkowski, Luke E Berchowitz ... Ian R Henderson
    Heterozygosity changes the balance between interfering and non-interfering crossovers during Arabidopsis meiosis.

    TRIP13 is a protein-remodeling AAA+ ATPase that catalyzes MAD2 conformation switching

    Qiaozhen Ye, Scott C Rosenberg ... Kevin D Corbett
    TRIP13 inactivates the spindle assembly checkpoint by converting MAD2 from its active ‘closed’ state to its inactive ‘open’ state.

    The Natural History of Model Organisms: The secret lives of Drosophila flies

    Therese Ann Markow
    After decades of intensive research, D. melanogaster and its relatives could provide important tools for investigating future biological questions about human health and environmental change, but only if we better understand their natural history.

    Daple is a novel non-receptor GEF required for trimeric G protein activation in Wnt signaling

    Nicolas Aznar, Krishna K Midde ... Pradipta Ghosh
    Daple is a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) for trimeric G proteins that enables Wnt/Frizzled receptors to transactivate G proteins during non-canonical Wnt signaling.

    Chromerid genomes reveal the evolutionary path from photosynthetic algae to obligate intracellular parasites

    Yong H Woo, Hifzur Ansari ... Arnab Pain
    Analysis of chromerid algal genomes reveals how apicomplexans have evolved from free-living algae into successful eukaryotic parasites via massive losses and re-inventing functional roles of genes.

    Selections that isolate recombinant mitochondrial genomes in animals

    Hansong Ma, Patrick H O'Farrell
    Recombinant mitochondrial genomes can be selected, traits can be genetically mapped and new genetic combinations can be made.

    Calibration and analysis of genome-based models for microbial ecology

    Stilianos Louca, Michael Doebeli
    A novel computation tool for microbial community modeling predicts the evolution and diversification of E. coli in laboratory evolution experiments and gives insight into the underlying metabolic processes.

    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.

    Deployment of a retinal determination gene network drives directed cell migration in the sea urchin embryo

    Megan L Martik, David R McClay
    The gene regulatory network controlling directed cell migration in a sea urchin is strikingly similar to a sub-circuit for eye development in Drosophila, suggesting that ancient systems-level controls may be adapted for diverse functions in different animals.

    Genomic DNA transposition induced by human PGBD5

    Anton G Henssen, Elizabeth Henaff ... Alex Kentsis
    The human PGBD5 gene encodes an active DNA transposase.
