    Explosive mutation accumulation triggered by heterozygous human Pol ε proofreading-deficiency is driven by suppression of mismatch repair

    Karl P Hodel, Richard de Borja ... Zachary F Pursell
    When mismatch repair is compromised heterozygous loss of Pol ε proofreading is sufficient to drive a subset of the observed clinical characteristics of Pol ε tumors.

    GGGGCC microsatellite RNA is neuritically localized, induces branching defects, and perturbs transport granule function

    Alondra Schweizer Burguete, Sandra Almeida ... Nancy M Bonini
    Expanded repeat RNAs associated with human neurodegenerative diseases can become incorporated into transported granules in neurons, perturbing their function to cause neuritic branching defects.

    The life cycle of Drosophila orphan genes

    Nicola Palmieri, Carolin Kosiol, Christian Schlötterer
    The short lifetime of orphan genes is a major factor explaining the stability of gene number in Drosophila.

    Gene interaction perturbation network deciphers a high-resolution taxonomy in colorectal cancer

    Zaoqu Liu, Siyuan Weng ... Xinwei Han
    An individual-specific gene interaction perturbation network-based (GIN) approach reveals six stable GIN subtypes (GINS1-6) with distinguishing and high-resolution features.

    Population structuring of multi-copy, antigen-encoding genes in Plasmodium falciparum

    Yael Artzy-Randrup, Mary M Rorick ... Mercedes Pascual
    Mathematical modeling shows that local populations of the malaria parasite self-organize into a limited number of transient but distinct strains through competition for hosts in immunity space.
