    Major patterns in the introgression history of Heliconius butterflies

    Yuttapong Thawornwattana, Fernando Seixas ... James Mallet
    The full-likelihood multispecies coalescent approach is useful for studying species groups with high rates of introgression from whole-genome sequence data.

    Ingression-type cell migration drives vegetal endoderm internalisation in the Xenopus gastrula

    Jason WH Wen, Rudolf Winklbauer
    The cellular behaviours that underlie the internalization of the multilayered endoderm anlage in Xenopus laevis link the ancestral mode of vertebrate gastrulation to common, epithelial-based mechanisms of gastrulation in non-vertebrate animals.

    Polar pattern formation induced by contact following locomotion in a multicellular system

    Masayuki Hayakawa, Tetsuya Hiraiwa ... Tatsuo Shibata
    Transient cell-cell contact of eukaryotic cells, called contact following locomotion, causes cell density segregation, and its high-density region traveled as a band within the disordered background.

    Single-cell analysis of the ventricular-subventricular zone reveals signatures of dorsal and ventral adult neurogenesis

    Arantxa Cebrian-Silla, Marcos Assis Nascimento ... Arturo Álvarez-Buylla
    Adult neural stem cells differ in the types of neurons they generate according to their location and new territories and genes associated with dorsal and ventral neurogenic lineages in the adult mouse brain are revealed.

    Controlling periodic long-range signalling to drive a morphogenetic transition

    Hugh Z Ford, Angelika Manhart, Jonathan R Chubb
    Cells control signal circulation to set the frequency of information transmitted over tissue scales.

    Compound-V formations in shorebird flocks

    Aaron J Corcoran, Tyson L Hedrick
    Shorebird flocks fly in a formation that re-creates the neighbor positioning relationship of a V-formation in cluster flocks of more than 1000 birds.
  1. Eph and Ephrin function in dispersal and epithelial insertion of pigmented immunocytes in sea urchin embryos

    Oliver A Krupke, Ivona Zysk ... Robert D Burke
    Eph receptor signaling commonly excludes migrating embryonic cells from regions of high ligand density; however, in sea urchin embryos pigmented immunocytes are attracted to regions expressing high levels of Ephrin.

    The population genetics of convergent adaptation in maize and teosinte is not locally restricted

    Silas Tittes, Anne Lorant ... Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra
    Adaptation of domesticated maize and its wild relative teosinte has been facilitated by the geographically widespread exchange of beneficial alleles between them.

    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.

    Comparing the evolutionary dynamics of predominant SARS-CoV-2 virus lineages co-circulating in Mexico

    Hugo G Castelán-Sánchez, Luis Delaye ... Marina Escalera Zamudio
    An in-depth exploratory analysis of the evolutionary and epidemiological dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in Mexico during the first year of the epidemic provides an overview of different virus dynamics between the developing and developed world (represented by the USA and Mexico).
