In vitro and in vivo physiological analyses reveal that mammalian auditory neuron intrinsic mechanical sensitivity contributes to sound-evoked activity and explains other previously unexplained auditory neuron features.

Applying deep learning technology for the large-scale curation of symptoms from unstructured EHR clinical notes accurately predicts the differential signals of COVID-19 diagnosis over the week preceding typical PCR testing.

Warming and altered precipitation reduce the growth rates of alpine soil bacteria by 40-90%, and the growth of ~70% taxa is influenced by antagonistic interactions between factors.

Homologous recombination rates tend to be highest in the most conserved parts of bacterial genomes.

ROH-DICE is an efficient method for detecting ROH clusters in biobank data, enabling the study of population history of large cohorts, and providing a new genome-wide association analysis approach for finding disease-causing loci with multi-marker recessive effects.

Evidence for a largely unexplored radiation of squamates (lizards, snakes, and amphisbaenians) in the Middle to Late Jurassic is revealed by analyses of morphospace expansion, disparity, and evolutionary rates.

A mathematical modelling approach to understanding zebrafish stripe pattern formation exemplifies a biological rule-set sufficient to generate wild-type and a diverse range of mutant patterns.

A computational model, based on single-cell features like contractility and polarizability, quantitatively describes cellular dynamics from the single cell level up to small cohorts and confluent tissues.

Arabidopsis lines were screened for resistance to TuMV, identifying a region on chromosome 2 linked to necrosis that includes an antiviral gene.

Asymmetries between the shape of the left and right human cortex are highly unique to individuals, akin to a neuroanatomical fingerprint, related to cognitive function, and primarily driven by person-specific environmental influences.
