    The MADS-box transcription factor PHERES1 controls imprinting in the endosperm by binding to domesticated transposons

    Rita A Batista, Jordi Moreno-Romero ... Claudia Köhler
    Jumping of transposable elements provides DNA-binding sites for the MADS-box transcription factor PHERES1, allowing the regulation of imprinted genes and other key endosperm development genes.

    A paternal bias in germline mutation is widespread in amniotes and can arise independently of cell division numbers

    Marc de Manuel, Felix L Wu, Molly Przeworski
    A paternal bias in germline mutation is seen throughout amniotes and may be explained by sex differences in DNA damage and repair after primordial germ cell specification.

    Patient-specific genomics and cross-species functional analysis implicate LRP2 in hypoplastic left heart syndrome

    Jeanne L Theis, Georg Vogler ... Rolf Bodmer
    Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is reflected by reduced proliferative capacity of patient iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and requires the activity of LRP2/APOB proteins, likely in conjunction with SHH and WNT signaling pathways.

    Increased anxiety and decreased sociability induced by paternal deprivation involve the PVN-PrL OTergic pathway

    Zhixiong He, Larry Young ... Fadao Tai
    The PVN-mPFC OT circuit is an important target for the treatment of disorders related to early adverse experiences.

    Dormancy-specific imprinting underlies maternal inheritance of seed dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Urszula Piskurewicz, Mayumi Iwasaki ... Luis Lopez-Molina
    A genomic imprinting program in the endosperm of Arabidopsis mature seeds is dynamically adjusted according to seed dormancy levels and regulates germination.

    Establishment of developmental gene silencing by ordered polycomb complex recruitment in early zebrafish embryos

    Graham JM Hickey, Candice L Wike ... Bradley R Cairns
    Zebrafish early embryos initially package their developmental genes and enhancers in 'active' chromatin that subsequently receives polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1)-mediated histone H2A ubiquitylation, which confers silencing/poising – prior to Aebp2-PRC2-guided H3K27me3 addition.

    Evolution: Kin selection spreads

    James P Higham
    By spending more time around infants which physically resemble their own, mandrill mothers may increase how frequently their offspring interact with their paternal half siblings.

    Anopheles homing suppression drive candidates exhibit unexpected performance differences in simulations with spatial structure

    Samuel E Champer, Isabel K Kim ... Jackson Champer
    Continuous space models indicate that current homing suppression drives may have difficulty eliminating wild mosquito populations, but building a successful drive may still be possible with current tools.

    Parent-of-origin effects propagate through networks to shape metabolic traits

    Juan F Macias-Velasco, Celine L St Pierre ... Heather A Lawson
    Non-imprinted genes can contribute to parent-of-origin effects on phenotype through interactions with imprinted genes.

    Antisense oligonucleotide therapy rescues disturbed brain rhythms and sleep in juvenile and adult mouse models of Angelman syndrome

    Dongwon Lee, Wu Chen ... Mingshan Xue
    Reactivation of paternal Ube3a by an ASO therapy in juvenile and adult mouse models of Angelman syndrome reverses the impairments of EEG power spectrum and sleep pattern, suggesting that these two core disease features may be improved by such therapies.
