Phytoplasma effector SAP54 hijacks previously unknown MADS-box protein roles in plant-insect interactions by modulating plant biotic stress responses to male leafhoppers and facilitating female attraction and reproduction on male-exposed leaves.
Aphid and mildew read counts leftover from the sequencing of greenhouse plants correlated with the environment of origin of the plants, and allowed the mapping of pathogen resistance genes.
Systems analysis of antibody repertoires reveals that strong humoral responses lead to extensive B-cell overlap across multiple lymphoid organs, indicating physiological axes of B-cell migration and a direct correlation with antigen specificity.

Secreted effector proteins of Toxoplasma gondii parasites create a supportive immune environment in mice, allowing individually less fit mutants to thrive and evade detection by in vivo CRISPR screens.
Metabolomics analysis identified potential neuroactive metabolites, issued from food and microbial fermentation, that are linked to symptoms of depression, anxiety and alcohol craving.
