    Establishment and stability of the latent HIV-1 DNA reservoir

    Johanna Brodin, Fabio Zanini ... Jan Albert
    Building on previous work (Zanini et al, 2015), deep-sequencing is used to show that HIV persistence during suppressive antiretroviral therapy, the main hurdle for HIV cure, is due to homeostatic proliferation and longevity of infected cells rather than ongoing virus replication.

    LPCAT1 controls phosphate homeostasis in a zinc-dependent manner

    Mushtak Kisko, Nadia Bouain ... Hatem Rouached
    Phosphate accumulation in zinc-deficient Arabidobsis shoots is regulated by a pathway involving the transcription factor bZIP23, the phospholipid-remodelling enzyme LPCAT1 and the transporter PHT1;1.

    Interchromosomal segmental duplication drives translocation and loss of P. falciparum histidine-rich protein 3

    Nicholas J Hathaway, Isaac E Kim ... Jeffrey A Bailey
    Sequence analyses show a pfhrp3 deletion mechanism involves duplication of chromosome 11 segment, which is normally removed via negative selection, and specific conditions are needed for spread including low transmission.

    Archaic introgression contributed to shape the adaptive modulation of angiogenesis and cardiovascular traits in human high-altitude populations from the Himalayas

    Giulia Ferraretti, Paolo Abondio ... Marco Sazzini
    A combination of composite-likelihood and gene network-based methods to investigate the impact of Denisovan introgression on the evolution of complex (i.e., polygenic) adaptive traits in high-altitude populations of Tibetan/Sherpa ancestry.

    Hematodinium sp. infection does not drive collateral disease contraction in a crustacean host

    Charlotte E Davies, Jessica E Thomas ... Christopher J Coates
    Neither the presence nor the intensity of Hematodinium sp. parasitisation drives co-infection occurrence, severity, or diversity in the ecologically ubiquitous shore crab, Carcinus maenas.

    Stochastic modelling, Bayesian inference, and new in vivo measurements elucidate the debated mtDNA bottleneck mechanism

    Iain G Johnston, Joerg P Burgstaller ... Nick S Jones
    New modelling, statistics, and experiments show that cellular populations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolve during development according to solvable stochastic dynamics involving binomial partitioning and random turnover, facilitating a predictive and quantitative theory of the mtDNA bottleneck.

    Enhanced ER proteostasis and temperature differentially impact the mutational tolerance of influenza hemagglutinin

    Angela M Phillips, Michael B Doud ... Matthew D Shoulders
    Endoplasmic reticulum proteostasis factors enhance the mutational tolerance of influenza hemagglutinin, a model secretory pathway protein and therapeutic target, particularly improving the fitness of temperature-sensitive variants.

    Intraocular dendritic cells characterize HLA-B27-associated acute anterior uveitis

    Maren Kasper, Michael Heming ... Gerd Meyer zu Hörste
    Single-cell transcriptomics of intraocular infiltrate in human HLA-B27-associated active anterior uveitis shows a unique composition and phenotype of leukocytes preferentially affecting dendritic cells.

    Meiotic drive of female-inherited supernumerary chromosomes in a pathogenic fungus

    Michael Habig, Gert HJ Kema, Eva Holtgrewe Stukenbrock
    Female-inherited supernumerary chromosomes that lack a male-inherited homolog are transmitted to all meiotic products instead of the expected half, which indicates an additional amplification of unpaired chromosomes during meiosis.

    An ABA-GA bistable switch can account for natural variation in the variability of Arabidopsis seed germination time

    Katie Abley, Pau Formosa-Jordan ... James CW Locke
    Arabidopsis shows extensive genetic diversity in germination time distributions, which can be explained by the underlying ABA/GA network functioning as a noisy bistable switch.
