    An essential, kinetoplastid-specific GDP-Fuc: β-D-Gal α-1,2-fucosyltransferase is located in the mitochondrion of Trypanosoma brucei

    Giulia Bandini, Sebastian Damerow ... Michael AJ Ferguson
    The activity, localization, and essentiality of TbFUT1, together with its ability to complement Leishmania parasites lacking the homologous gene, suggest the presence of an uncommon and conserved mitochondrial fucosylation pathway required for kinetoplastid parasites viability.

    Use of signals of positive and negative selection to distinguish cancer genes and passenger genes

    László Bányai, Maria Trexler ... László Patthy
    In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.

    Single-cell chromatin accessibility profiling of glioblastoma identifies an invasive cancer stem cell population associated with lower survival

    Paul Guilhamon, Charles Chesnelong ... Mathieu Lupien
    Chromatin-based cancer stem cell heterogeneity typifies primary glioblastoma and includes an invasive subtype associated with a lower survival.

    Wild worm embryogenesis harbors ubiquitous polygenic modifier variation

    Annalise B Paaby, Amelia G White ... Matthew V Rockman
    Cryptic alleles affecting embryonic development are widespread in wild C. elegans populations.

    Experimental evolution for the recovery of growth loss due to genome reduction

    Kenya Hitomi, Yoichiro Ishii, Bei-Wen Ying
    Diversified genetic and transcriptional changes in parallel evolved Escherichia coli populations for improved growth revealed that the evolution complementing genome reduction was like all roads leading to Rome.

    Circular synthesized CRISPR/Cas gRNAs for functional interrogations in the coding and noncoding genome

    Martin Wegner, Valentina Diehl ... Manuel Kaulich
    Cloning-free 3Cs technology is developed for the generation of sequence-bias-free covalently closed circular synthesized (3Cs) CRISPR/Cas gRNA libraries that can interrogate the coding and noncoding human genome.

    Operon mRNAs are organized into ORF-centric structures that predict translation efficiency

    David H Burkhardt, Silvi Rouskin ... Carol A Gross
    Operonic mRNAs in bacteria are comprised of ORF (open reading frame)-wide units of secondary structure, which are intrinsically distinct between adjacent ORFs and encode a rough blueprint for ORF-specific translation efficiency.

    Plasmodium Niemann-Pick type C1-related protein is a druggable target required for parasite membrane homeostasis

    Eva S Istvan, Sudipta Das ... Daniel E Goldberg
    The malaria parasite Niemann-Pick Type C1-related protein is an important new antimalarial target.

    EGF receptor signaling, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation and endocytosis in tumors in vivo

    Itziar Pinilla-Macua, Alexandre Grassart ... Alexander Sorkin
    A small pool of active epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors, which are capable of ubiquitylation and efficient endocytosis in vivo, is sufficient to support EGF-receptor-dependent tumor growth by signaling primarily through the Ras-MAPK pathway.

    BRAF activates PAX3 to control muscle precursor cell migration during forelimb muscle development

    Jaeyoung Shin, Shuichi Watanabe ... Thomas Braun
    Genetic and biochemical approaches identify a new component of the cellular signaling machinery driving migration of limb muscle precursor cells during mouse embryogenesis and reveal the underlying molecular mechanism.
